He might think that he is in line for a FIFA Fair Play Award but many Ibrox fans were less than impressed by Micky Beale today.
After Malik Tillman took possession from Partick Thistle’s Kevin Holt as he prepared to return the ball to his opponents all hell broke lose as the on loan Bayern Munich midfielder ran through to score, putting his side 2-1 in front.
Players from both sides clashed in the six yard box with Tillman hitting the deck.
On the touchline the lovely Mister Beale saw the opportunity for self projection, speaking to Thistle boss Ian McColl and his own players he instructed them to let Thistle equalise straight from the restart.
Beale can enjoy a couple of days of extra media adulation but as Giovanni van Bronckhorst discovered following a coffee with Ange Postecoglou there are some things that an Ibrox manager should never do, and are cast up against them when things go wrong.
73′ Goal for Partick Thistle.
Rangers 2-2 Partick Thistle

All for sportsmanship but get that decision in the bin. Ridiculous.

Beale has lost all the respect I had for him. Only McGregor and Tillman had the balls to stand up for what was right. No rules were broken with Tillman’s goal. Disgrace.

No team in Scotland does that for us. If we had a captain worth anything we’d be winning.

Why did we do that? There’s no rule in the game that says Tillman can’t go for the ball there

The writing is on the wall now for Beale the klan ain’t going to put up much more with these pish poor performances from his style of play and management especially after passing on those instructions to the players to let Thistle score.
He only did the so called sportsmanship because it was a nickel&dime team in a cup competition,now he has got his arse felt by the klan he won’t be doing that again,he would never had done that in a league game knowing what the consequences would be for falling behind even more in the league if he was to lose points.
As I said before sevco are one game away from right good SCUDDING and not just from a middle table team will do it,and probably cost Beale his job.
