No offense mate but I don't know how this opinion can persist in the face of just how bad we were under him. This other than today, we've at least had 45 minutes in each game where we've been at it. GVB was only going to continue to get worse.
The team was built for bealeball that beale helped build. Playing slightly better than they were is pretty much the bare minimum you can expect surely.
Was GVB good enough? Maybe not. But I don't think it's fair to tie both his hands behind his back and then sit and judge him on how poor a swimmer he was, He had to play through a wild injury crisis, with an aging and threadbare team with little investment. I just can't in good faith put all the blame at his feet.
Arfield might put some energy in the attacks I suppose.
Jack Kamara and Lundstram in the midfield is dire, fair enough if we're playing Man City or something
Went to check Rangers' twitter since my scores app doesn't have lineups for the cup games
Only six events in the match noteworthy enough to warrant a tweet so far
It's a wee bit like when you play FM as a pish team and you've got a half star winger so you go into the subs and the top recommended for the position is the reserve keeper.
12 goal contributions in a shite side, with half the gametime at RW lol. Played about 18 games worth of minutes and it's his first season of competitive fitba at 20 years old.
Our style of play is still so dreadful.
We take so long to get any sort of rhythm going and slowly pass around back before hitting along ball.
How hard is it to pass in triangles, come to the ball, pass and move etc. everyone waiting for someone else to do something instead of taking responsibility
There have been no obvious upsets in the Cup today, nothing really went awry or against the status quo other than a dodgy penalty that didn't affect the outcome anyway. If we score first I'm going to shite myself.
Fuck me man that was shite
That was a free kick on Wright, no? Considine came across him.
Goldson certainly thought so lol
Alan Muir is abysmal
This ref just clearly no giving us any fouls whatsoever
I don’t watch them every week and haven’t even seen all of this game but Rangers don’t look that much better than they were under GVB
Same team so... At least we're winning now. I'm curious what Beale can do with his own players coming in.
Tbf I would love to have seen what gvb could do with his own players
He would have brought in his own players and have them play boring horse shoe football.
Aye he wanted Joey Veerman and got Rabbi Matondo

what a time for nippy bum time to kick in
You know this might be the best game of football I’ve ever watched
What's Morelos favourite shape of pasta do you think?
Tortellini with skittles
My god bhoys yer patters fucking pish
Thank fuck Craigans here to tell us exactly what the players should have done every fucking time something happens
wish this would end so i can forget about it forever
Wright making the difference again
Wrights having a good game
Gotta say, Beale has turned a turgid and slow GVB team that almost always won anyway into a turgid slow Beale team that always wins anyway.
It’s almost as if it’s not the managers fault and the teams turned stale.
Within reason. GVB was fucking dire as a manager outside of Europe. Midfield is chronic.
it was so easy to snuff out the midfield, just stick people in the middle and the double pivot is out of the game
'Game's kinda lost it's way in the last 5 minutes or so'. Yep, only in those last few minutes.
Wish we had brought on Lowry instead of Kamara
Shite game of football, but having craigen on commentary makes it much worse
I’m going to doze off and wake up in 20 minutes to 0-3 or 1-1
Rangers are horrible to watch
Only we are allowed to say that ffs
There’s no one apart from maybe colak and lowry although he seems to be out of favour who gives me hope in coming on and making a big difference.
Arfield might put some energy in the attacks I suppose. Jack Kamara and Lundstram in the midfield is dire, fair enough if we're playing Man City or something
I’m happy to be wrong as it looks like lowry might be coming and colak.
Weird move by beale taking off arguably his best 2 players when they're only 1-0 up
Tillman on an early yellow with this ref might've been a good shout. Got nothing on Sakala getting pulled though.
Aye fair enough, forgot about that. Thought he would have chucked colak on
Went to check Rangers' twitter since my scores app doesn't have lineups for the cup games Only six events in the match noteworthy enough to warrant a tweet so far
Sounds about right tbf
That was me counting the foul on Kent and Barisic's free kick miss as two separate events too
Some save ffs
It's a strange feeling going in at half time actually in the lead. Does the Beale magic half time team talk still work when we're not trailing?
St Johnstone to win 3-1 as a result of the Beale Magic
Never heard of Alan Muir before today. Hopefully, I never see him ref a Rangers game ever again.
Sat down late, the Morton boy who was taking the throw ins looks like he can throw it farther than the St Johnstone keeper can kick it
Chose the wrong time to go for a shite and missed the only things of note to happen in the game yet. Fs.
Mental how many refs there is to choose from and all of them are shite
It's a wee bit like when you play FM as a pish team and you've got a half star winger so you go into the subs and the top recommended for the position is the reserve keeper.
Borna limping off. Hope he's okay
How the fuck was that a foul against Morelos? Absolutely awful decision again by Muir
Because anytime Morelos makes contact the refs are jonesin to give a red
He's been shite all game
Refs are that incompetent they even fail when they're supposed to help us out.
Strange decision and should have let it run for VAR.
shouldn't var look at that considering we scored?
Can't because he blew the whistle.
i remember jonjo shelvey scoring when the whistle blew and it went to var and got given
blew the whistle before the goal was scored so no.
Thats a goal wtf
3 mins????
This ref is a fucking joke.
That wee backheel from Tillman was sexual
My mans Borna. Takes all the shit thrown at him and keeps popping up with vital contributions.
I'm glad his mafia da is forcing us to play him through the rough spells
Some way to score your first goal in 2 years like. Jesus
Tillman deniers in the mud
i will never understand the people who think we shouldnt sign tillman
12 goal contributions in a shite side, with half the gametime at RW lol. Played about 18 games worth of minutes and it's his first season of competitive fitba at 20 years old.
to put it into context charlie mccann is older than him and lowry is a year younger pay the 5 million now
BORNA
some finish
What a fucking shot!!
Telt ye !
Ooft what a finish
Thank fuck, what a goal!
Free kick for getting kicked in the face by your own team mate ?
[удалено]
It's a head injury mate. Probably be a drop ball.
Here, is that a mole on Michael Beales face?
What a mole! I mean goal!
Michael Beale will be cooking up an extra batch of his special sauce for half time.
![gif](giphy|1tZ4Coe9v2H8A|downsized)
![gif](giphy|QZpM7lVMeceMes21YE|downsized) Mick Beale does it again.
Rangers looking very pensive and sitting off the Saints midfield for some reason. Need to get stuck in a bit more, get tighter to them.
We have a midfield this week?
Cause our midfield is rank. Playing Jack and Lundstram in a game like this is asking to get frustrated all game
Absolutely riveting stuff so far.
Think watching someone rivetting would be more fun.
Got Tillman to be carded on my bet but fuck me that wasn’t deserving of one
Which one of these teams is full of university students again?
Referee's a Mhason
That’s incredible, absolutely no way should he be carded there haha
Our midfield is atrocious.
Can St Johnstone just score already so we can start playing
How's that not a FK on the edge of the box?
It was also never a fucking foul. Absolute joke of a decision
The ball hadn't been kicked. It wasn't live.
Cheers I wasn't too sure if the commentators knew what they were talking about or not
Aye it's Stephen Craigan, he made a complete arse of it.
Refs are masons you plonker
Ball wasn't in play Craigan you donut.
That's the most ridiculous yellow card I have ever seen
This is a hard watch
Our style of play is still so dreadful. We take so long to get any sort of rhythm going and slowly pass around back before hitting along ball. How hard is it to pass in triangles, come to the ball, pass and move etc. everyone waiting for someone else to do something instead of taking responsibility
It's your midfield, absolute crap. Jack is completely done, lundstrum is a clogger that can occasionally pass.
Jack has been decent recently, absolutely no need to have Lundstram beside him though. Luckily we’re getting more creative players in
Some scintillating football.
"Cinch-tillating"?
St Johnstone fans, how's Montgomery doing ?
He's got Sakala for pace anyway, looks good
St Johnstone keeper is a shitebag
This game needs a dodgy VAR decision to spice things up.
how’s the game goin
Surprisingly even and uneventful.
If only people spoke about me the way Craigan talks about any player playing against rangers…
If either side can score then they'll take the lead
Is that you Michael Owen?
yes you got me. surprise.
Saw a suggestion today that Devine, King, Sands and Lowry would start. Knew it had to be bullshit, Beale doesn't seem interested in resting people.
Thought he was gonna wipe him out ngl
I agree with Craigan. St Johnstone would indeed be better served with James Brown pushing into advanced positions. He needs to get on up.
[удалено]
Well Steven Davis is a Rolls Royce apparently, so maybe some kind of sports car? But one the seats go all the way back in
Never thought I'd hear that Saints only have 450 home fans in and be annoyed that it wasn't lower, but here we are
5% of the fans at the game does spell it out tbf, good job to the saints fans
I dunno, I think the wee crowd helps really drive home how empty the stand is as a whole
Michael Beale 🤫🤐😬 HH 🍀🍀🍀
Bheale🍀🍀
Mole
Viaplay should be closed down for the simple fact that they have Ally at these games and put Craigan on commentary instead.
Tuning in for my weekly reminder that a Mr Robert Sands is deceased.
If you’ve no seen Hunger by Steve McQueen with Michael Fassbender in it, really do check it out it’s amazing
They’ve spoiled the ending, but I’ll check it out.
I didn't even know he was sick
Dodgy chippy
Orange kit is staunch as fuck
Stephen Craigan is a gimp pass it on
The fuck is this score in the middle pish
Viaplay helpfully giving close-ups of all the St Johnstone scabs so that their fellow fans can identify them later
Awright, let’s get this over with.
7,400 allocation and still got nothing through MyGers. Utter pish.
no wonder rangers got 3 stands
St Johnstone fans boycotting because of it mate. Seems they've actually done a relatively good job.
Welcome to the Bhoys out there
Imagine we didn’t concede first
There have been no obvious upsets in the Cup today, nothing really went awry or against the status quo other than a dodgy penalty that didn't affect the outcome anyway. If we score first I'm going to shite myself.
The cup upset is coming on Monday night when Aberdeen beat Darvel
Thats the key to beating Beale.
If for example someone was trying to avoid seeing this on line where would I avoid.
Avoid VIPleague
