Gallows humour 😂

Fuck me, I was being ironic mate!

THB on for Bree. That’s a strange one!

If anyone thinks we’re getting another point this season they must be bonkers. Not with Juric managing this team of losers.

3-0 - no defence. Juric - do you know what a defence is supposed to look like?

Downes fucks up and it’s 2-0. Twat. As I predicted, game over before half-time.

How the fuck didn’t Paul score there?!

Smallbone at fault - totally switched off and lost his mark.

Brilliant save from Rambo.

Players seem more likely to bust a gut getting back this evening.

Bella-Kotchap so far has been fantastic you have to say.

Whose going to get a yellow for pulling Cucu’s hair?😂😂😂

This will be over well before half-time.

It’s not weird to include KL in the finger pointing. The rot started on her watch…it’s equally true that SR have compounded that over and over, but that doesn’t remove her culpability. The one positive remaining is that somehow the fanbase appears to be resilient so far with incredible away numbers still being seen - bloody hero’s. It’ll be a different story when ST’s go on sale for next season.

What worries me most now is the clear capitulation by Juric. He’s lost his way entirely, looks defeated and has no idea where to go to get a tune out this squad of strangers (by definition you can’t call them a team). The players are going to be utterly demoralised as well as not good enough. Can see a bloodbath this evening. 7-0. There I called it - will be delighted to be proven wrong…i.e. we score a goal or two and the GD is less than 3.

But it was KL and her team that didn’t do sound due diligence on Gao - she set us up for decline and make no mistake, it’s not over yet.

She sold the club out to Gao, which was misguided. End of…you can’t change history to suit your own agenda.

The Chelsea presser was embarrassing to watch. Juric is defeated and has no way forward - that’s why he’s falling back on the only method/system he’s got in his kit bag.

It’s all very hindsight now of course, but KL (or her advisers) did a terrible job finding a majority owner / investor in Gao. And it could be argued that by retaining the share that she did, it was incumbent on her to take back control of the club when Gao’s interest failed. At the point SR took over, while much damage had already been done, it was at that time a recoverable position. SR have come in and made error after error, to the point where it’s difficult to see how a turnaround will be brought about. I fear that we’ve not seen the last of SR’s incompetence or the bottom of the pit in terms of SFC’s fortunes. It’s going to be a massively important summer.

Interesting that no-one has yet commented on Kat L and her selling off of her Fathers legacy. Let’s face it she passed the baton to the Chinese idiot who had less money to splash than Dragan/SR and so it could be argued that everything good that was built during Markus’s era was slowly but surely eroded at that moment, from the Acedemy to the black box to the scouting network to the 1st team squad to the quality of manager. So yes, it could be said that Kat has set the club on a path of failure from the moment she sacked Cortese etc. Markus was our saviour, but should she be held accountable as the ‘Kat-ylist’ of our decline. 😔

It’s easy to blame the players and yes, the lack of effort yesterday was unacceptable on a number of levels, but the demise of the club has been a slow burning disaster since Ralph entered the building - possibly before. The squad had already become over-bloated with players that were not at the right level and it can be seen as a failure of epic proportions not to address the key issues from the outset. It’s no consolation, but we’re not alone - there’s a similar pattern of failure at Man Utd but of course they started from a higher place, with more money and therefore more resilience. Ultimately you have to primarily blame SR and the Senior Management of the club for the decline. They are culpable of too many incompetent choices. But that’s where we are - no going back and it’s a massive uphill climb to rectify the shit-show. Don’t underestimate how broken things are. Spors better be ready to perform better than he’s ever done previously - I don’t envy him in the slightest.

WTF have I just seen? Player through on goal and our lot just stand there…do nothing…almost willing the Brighton player to score. Ramsdale the only player to come away with a plus rating despite 4 goals down.

The players did from the first minute. And here we go 4-0. Why? Utterly bereft defence. Ah who gives a fuck anymore? It’s just a joke now. More fun poking my eyes with a jalapeño.

And once again cut open through the middle… 0-3. How does Juric justify not changing the formation earlier in the 1st half seeing how we’re being arse fucked in midfield? And now he replaced Les with the fabulous Smallbone! I give up.

Should have been 0-3 - open goal. We break and…Sulemana fluffs it.
