Oh, dear.
Ah, those pesky competitive matches!
Despite winning the Close Season Cup, Mr Beale’s Gumtree Galacticos came up short at the first time of asking when it really mattered.
Seeing their heroes falling at the first hurdle did not put Sevco’s delightful klanbase in the best of moods.
At the end of the day, the Killie players wanted it more and were willing to put their bodies on the line to get a result.
To my untrained eye, it looked as if Captain Sevco and the Yawning Fullback didn’t really fancy it at Rugby Park.
If I didn’t know any better, I would think they wanted to avoid any kinetic event that could prevent a multi-million-pound gig with Mr Let’s Go in Saudi Arabia.
As Mr Beale was busy recruiting, it was pointed out to me by a source in Agentland that all of his new guys were unwanted by their clubs.
A mixture of injuries and attitude problems made all of them surplus to requirements.
For the avoidance of doubt, I was completely agnostic on the abilities of these footballers and remain bereft of knowledge on their value to Sevco.
Of course, the Stenography Corps could regale their dignified demographic with uplifting tales that Mr Beale had unearthed gems in the bargain buckets.
It is becoming a seasonal event when Sevco’s credulous customers finally realise they’ve been fed a nonsense narrative throughout the summer.
The reality is that they’re Simply The Second Best.
That’s the end point of the famous Journey.
These poor chaps, in particular, look like they’re suffering from Long Sevco.
The eleven-year-old club is truly blessed to have the Transcendental Chairman at the helm at challenging times like this.
I’m told there was an entirely tranquil exchange last week with that nice Mr Bisgrove.
It seems to me perfectly reasonable that the Dalai Lama of the Blue Room, who operates on Tibet time as he scours the Far East money markets for fresh investors, would require at least some of his factotums to be on hand to assist him.
Sadly, the functionaries at the basket of assets consider this schedule to constitute Unreasonable O’clock.
Next up for Sevco is another of those problematic competitive fixtures.
However, I’m sure Beale’s belligerents will wipe the floor with Servette FC.
If that happens, then the Stenography Corps will be back in the groove as they gush about the Rainjurzz.
The reality is that Sevco’s title challenge might turn out to be as plastic as Killie’s pitch.

Hi Phil
I was listening to a sevco podcast from friday the 4th August 23 .
On which one of the callers stated that sevco had issued a statement that day urging their fans to strenuously refrain for discriminatory chants as the next fine they received would be their last and uefa had instructed the spfl to deduct points from clubs from there on in .
I couldn’t find a statement on the official club website.
Do you have any knowledge of this from your contact with UEFA
Great to see the Sevco Papal Swiss guard style strip yesterday
Just surprised that the strip wasn’t used as an excuse for losing.
sevco can never win a game, wearing that strip… it’s blessed! 🙂
Every time I see that strip I just think of B&M. Bargain basement club and bargain basement store – A match made in Heaven. It’s even the manager’s initials. New sponsor for the shirt? PMSL.
Does “B & M& stand for, “Bollocks & Mince”?
Ok, only game 1 – but it’s certainly cranked up the pressure on Beale and his
ragtag, jumble of misfits!
IF sevco is slow to get going at Ibrox on Wednesday night,
THEN the bears will be foaming at the mouth in rage.
Beale simply must win on Wednesday. 🙂
[And what is Plan B if CL qualification is not secured?
…no transfer budget for Beale in January – if he’s still in post?]
No way is Beale getting sacked before the end of the January transfer window. Bringing in someone new would lead to expectations of signings.
When a club are happy to stretch out the payments for a player you know they are glad to be shot of him.
We should call SevCon The Seagulls cos they hoover up all the shite people drop.
Based on the evidence, a lot of work has to be done to be finish 2nd best by May. At this point, 2nd best is someone to aspire to!
The Rangers next two games are Livi and Ross County. I watched the Livi game and they are no mugs. Some big, strong units I think they will find that tough. Same as Ross County. They have some decent players as we saw on Saturday. I can dream.
“The reality is that they’re Simply The Second Best”. Actually, they’re simply 10th best.
Celtic top of Penalty count, to, perhaps the unwelcome spotlight on the Beaton Anomaly might have a positive outcome.
“mentally challengeds”
The comedy writes itself.
A lot of money being bet on Aberdeen for second.
With luck they may get their erses Servetted to them on a plate , roll on Wednesday.
Celtic win, Sevco lose, Wales beat England. What a day!!!
