    Can I just check? We are kicking Beale for snubbing Hume? Allegedly. But a few weeks ago when Pritch behaved like a schoolkid towards Beale when he was subbed Pritch was in the right? Dear oh dear. I think some perspective might be in order.

    Elite football is a high pressured environment. Emotions are always high. ****e performances and defeats elevate that. I would put my life savings on Pritch and Beale shaking on it the Monday after. Hume and Beale will do so on Monday too. Any other suggestion is just ratcheting an agenda in my opinion. This is a non story in my opinion. Much worse happens on a training pitch day in day out. Honeslty fellas, you are barking at the wrong tree making something out of this that I guarantee is not there. We can argue about Beale needing to go, but dont imagine this is a reason. Hume will know he has been poor recently and will be much more focussed on his own play than his coach not shaking his hand, honestly. If not he wont go higher in the game.

    Ignore me mate. I am being a bit arsey and have had a few. I too feel things are rough at the minute, but this hate for Beale is too much and this Hume thing is a non event but mana for those who hate him.

    Season ticket renewal time may well sort some of this out

    I think so and I think that will be the main driver into the future head coach position. That's and sorting out JS share of the cake.

    It does feel like every time we lose there is a meltdown. Beale has put out a post on Instagram about Hume and said he never saw him. Who knows but he might be telling truth. Folk want to pick holes in everything he does.

    Know exactly what you mean mate. Things have been so positive of late club moving forward massively in the last couple of years but things are not right from being so entertaining and progressive we are now just dull and lifeless.

    Sorry mate. Massively disagree. You're into youth football no?

    If so , watch it back sober and honestly say, is it a good look?

    You sub and play and ignore so much you don't acknowledge

    You sub a player and so arrogant you ignore his existence

    Either way, you get Humes reaction. It's very very telling. If that was some of your lads, I am sure they go home and think very differently.

    Based upon the video clip he must have seen him though and the step away says it all, imo. Also, you would have thought he would have wanted a quick word to say why he was substituted?
    I would rather he had said he was mad with him and didn't want that to be played out in public and would wait to talk to him after the game.
    I am not generally one to write negative posts and I had actually warmed to him with his press conferences and the Plymouth game. However, after being down at Huddersfield and seeing how bad that was and then this then I am almost speechless.:emoticon-0127-lipss

    Give it a rest. You don't like the guy, I get it. Try and keep it rational.

    I am. It's all part of the issue. The corporate waffle. The lack of getting the fans. The man management. It's all part of it. It's why rangers fans hate him. He has been here 2 months and look at us now.

    Through to u21 at elite. Will reconsider sober of course.

    There is a 2 way process though. We cant back Pritch when he shows no respect and then throw toys out when Beale shows no respect. Or can we?

    Absolute transparency. Shaking hand of subs coming off has never beem at the front of my mind. In particular now where they have to wander round the pitxh. It might be 60 seconds befote they get to me. I do all my thanks and talking afterwards in the dressing room. Let me tell you I have subbed lads who rage, no big deal, it goes and they calm down. Sometimes I rage at players I sub and them calm down. Should be the same.

    Look at us now? What a place or two behind where we were when he came in. What do you mean by corporate waffle? There is nowt wrong with posting on Instagram if you want to 'speak' with supporters. You make a mountain out of every molehill mate and clearly don't have an understanding of the complexities of men's senior football and his role as Head coach

    After ignoring him, the only thing Mick can do is go around to his house, try and explain himself and actions and tell him he wants to be his Manager.

    Prich is not relevant here.

    This is different. The players makes a massive effort to seek acknowledge. Massive. Even checks his stride. All in the body language

    I mean , he could just address it in person, during his multiple press interviews when he has been asked directly about it. Not too hard. No need for the Instagram story.

    Not me, he has. He has made this. That's why everyone is talking about it.

    He was asked at his presser and explained it. This is just addressed it further. I hated Beale earlier but listening to you ranting and raving about him makes me want him to succeed. You didn't like.mowbray either did you.. funny that

    I want all managers to succeed. It's on them to do it. My comments on here have no impact whatsoever. It's then each day and game. Beale has shown so far, he is no where near the level and frankly the fan positivity is at a massive low.

    For me, he is a terrible fit. Doesn't get us and it's not the way forward.

    What does this even mean? What's to get or not get? It's just [non-corporate] waffle.

    The way he speaks to the fans. It's very controversial.
