After Trusty, s Red Card is he suspended against us next Sunday. Scales got a Yellow. He must be close to a Ban. It would be good to have both Central Defenders out of the match.
22 Feb 2026 18:26:03
Rather Trusty played.
22 Feb 2026 22:13:43
You need 12 yellow cards for a ban at this stage in the season. Scales has 6. Trusty will be banned for next week's game versus us.
22 Feb 2026 22:19:14
Unfortunately, or fortunately, bans don't apply for 8 days after yellow cards.
23 Feb 2026 06:03:17
I saw somewhere that Trusty's card was violent conduct, so he misses the 2 games against us. I don't think that'd be right, is it?
23 Feb 2026 08:28:40
Laudrup, I think bans are competition specific, so must be served in the league. So, even if it is two, they won't apply to a cup match.
Scrambled, I think you are thinking about the time exemption, where the ban is for yellow cards. I think he does miss next week.
23 Feb 2026 08:54:23
Trusty's red should be reviewed and reversed.
23 Feb 2026 10:56:03
Angus, yes, I was referring to yellow cards that were for Scales. I knew that Trusty would miss the game against us unless he appeals.
23 Feb 2026 12:24:48
Yately, Trusty deserved it.
23 Feb 2026 13:52:29
Yately, it's a red all day going with the rules. Not saying I agree with it, but he was stupid to use the force he did.
23 Feb 2026 17:23:41
I have spoken to 2 Celtic fans, and both say red card. I haven't seen it myself. When they explained it, I thought yellow.
23 Feb 2026 18:13:44
Level of force used is the issue. He didn't just try to brush his arm away, but thumped down with 'excessive force'. Interesting to see Dermot Gallagher's comments on it in Sky re-watch.
21 Feb 2026 21:10:29
There is a saying - "there's no loyalty in football". If Danny Rohl doesn't win the league, should we replace him with Jens Berthal Askou?
I know it's harsh - but I probably would. Danny Rohl hasn't really put a foot wrong, but think the job Jens has done is truly exceptional and I wonder what he would be able to accomplish with even better players.
I still think there is a very good chance they finish in the top 3.
21 Feb 2026 21:23:33
Absolutely and unequivocally not.
21 Feb 2026 21:41:06
Got a manager getting us going in the right direction, and u want to change him. Look where he's got us to. We're in a position to challenge, something that was unlikely. So jump on the manager merry-go-round go round and sack a guy that's only getting two thirds of this season. Stupid question, nuts.
21 Feb 2026 22:12:06
As I said, he's not really put a foot wrong. That said, I still think JBA is doing a magnificent job and we were extremely lucky to come away with a point against them, even though they were put together with a shoestring budget.
He's turned bang-average journeymen, Maswanhise and Just, into both valuable assets.
He will likely be MOTY and will have 2 players in the running for POTY.
I fear what happens if he goes to Celtic.
21 Feb 2026 22:14:57
Yes, let's sack the manager who got us 2nd after Martin made a mess of it, and make the manager who sits 4th our new manager.
But, I agree we should sack Danny, but replace him with Jimmy Thelin.
Oh, hang on. Am I a season behind on the manager who did well for a club?
btw, there is loyalty in football; there is no loyalty with fans, it seems. 🙈
21 Feb 2026 22:24:44
Angus, Fork, you guys are absolutely correct.
No one can say the Motherwell manager has not done well, but Danny has got us into a title fight.
Danny has elite pedigree, whereas Jens has 8 good months at Motherwell.
21 Feb 2026 23:33:14
I only hope he doesn't end up at Celtic. They've got average players playing the best football in Scotland, as well as being a very organised side. Think what it does with far better quality.
22 Feb 2026 03:05:53
I'd happily bring the Motherwell man in as assistant, with a view to taking over next time, if he'd be up for that.
22 Feb 2026 03:58:43
Ok, fine. Based on current form and league positions, you're not for Jens. Fair enough.
Can I ask each of you what your position would be if we finish 4th and Motherwell finish above us?
Remembering that Skov Olsen gets paid more than their entire team?
Remember that I've said Rohl is doing a good job - I just think Jens is better, and I fear what will happen if he goes to Celtic.
22 Feb 2026 08:20:09
It isn't only about league position, though; it is about loyalty and giving a manager time to follow through with a process of developing a team and squad.
But on league position, when Rohl started we had 8 points and Motherwell had 9. The manager you are talking of replacing has won 6 points more than Jens Berthel Askou. So is he a better manager? He didn't have to get the team past the mess that Martin made.
Surely if you coveted another manager it would be McInnes, who has got them 5 points ahead of us and 10 ahead of Motherwell.
Let him go to Celtic. If he can perform for them without his demands at an Old Firm club, then he will deserve the success. But we have a manager who is outperforming him at the moment, so I would stick with him even if, by some miracle, Motherwell were to go second.
22 Feb 2026 08:23:13
I am in no way wanting Rohl to leave, but I absolutely agree Jens has done an incredible job, and I hope he doesn't end up at Celtic. Different from Thelin too, as he started off brilliantly but wasn't great to watch and got worse, whereas Motherwell started slowly, got better, and has been the best to watch.
He's been able to build into a good team slowly, while Danny took over an utter shambles and has still had the most points since he took over.
22 Feb 2026 08:30:37
Nothing to do with that. It's to do with building stability and letting the guy build, as he is doing, instead of rinse, repeat, and upheaval of a new manager, because your hypothetical covets another manager, and our answers don't match your narrative.
But, have fun, as u want continual upheaval and uncertainty at our club. Gerrard, Gio, Beale, Clement, Martin, that was all plain sailing and didn't affect us in any way when they all got switched out, did it? 🤯
22 Feb 2026 10:19:27
Your arguments about stability would make sense if JBA had transformed this club over several seasons, with several transfer windows. But he didn't. He did it with one pre-season and one transfer window, with players brought in from obscurity.
It's not a decision I'd be proud of, but personally, if we could afford it, then we should do it to prevent him from going to Celtic.
Once that happens, we won't win the league again for a very long time.
22 Feb 2026 10:21:20
Kaiser, the end result for the manager was different with Thelin, but I was referring more to fans calling for him to replace Clement at the time. The cry is always doing well with a lower budget, but what is forgotten by those fans is the lower expectation.
JBA has done well, there is no doubt, but so has McGlynn at Falkirk, with at most 2/3rds of the budget. He also has a very young team playing attractive football this season, and we haven't managed to even beat them yet. So should we go for him with his experience of the Scottish League and see how he does with better players and a bigger budget? The answer for me is no as well.
JBA also had pre-season to coach his squad, which is important when you see how long it has taken Rohl to get to the stage we are at, with 1 day of coaching between matches; Motherwell didn't have that restriction because they were not in Europe.
So, I'm not arguing he hasn't done well, but to throw out what we have done this year to start all over again seems utterly ridiculous to me. It does just show the microwave mentality of supporters these days.
22 Feb 2026 11:36:15
Your an absolute numpty, so Rohl hasn't transformed Rangers in an even shorter time, your argument like your last few posts hold no merit whatsoever, u can't see the futile attempt to promote your narrative, and ignore that Rohl has done in a shorter time, what u say the Motherwell manager has done. Blind to your own deluded thinking.
Pointless talking to u tbh, we should get him before Celtic n sack Rohl, seriously, get a grip.
Answer if u want, won't be responding as your post is bordering on crass stupidity, apologies Ed if I'm over the score.
22 Feb 2026 11:44:14
100% Angus, he can't see Rohl has done more than Jens in a shorter period. His argument is based on his own narrative and not on facts. He's done well, yes, but Rohl has done better, and in a shorter timescale with no preseason.
22 Feb 2026 11:45:42
Fork, say it how you see it. 👏🤣
22 Feb 2026 12:16:27
Agree, Fork, and we should just forget everything and sack Rohl, get rid of the players (as JBA won't want them), and start all over again.
This is because of a manager who has won 6 points less than Rohl. In fact, a manager who only won 1 point more than Russell Martin. Not only that, but this is a manager who has failed to beat either of our managers this year, with 2 of those away from home for us.
Less wins, more draws, and more defeats. 🤷
Sorry, Zikos. He may be doing okay, but I see no reason to swap Rohl for him currently. If Celtic want him, then feel free, but I suspect they will take back Ange if he wants to come back. Now, that might worry me more.
22 Feb 2026 13:36:33
Being correct is not over the score, Fork. I was going to reply to it, but imo you nailed it.
22 Feb 2026 13:58:15
I can already see it.
We sack Rohl and hire Askoi, just to prevent Celtic getting him - then Celtic hire Rohl and skelp us.
22 Feb 2026 14:11:30
A few clubs in the EFL Championship are looking at him too.
22 Feb 2026 14:12:14
Why thank you, Jfm. 👍
22 Feb 2026 14:41:38
Correct, Fort. Once Rohl has a pre season, it can and will only improve us. He never had any of that.
22 Feb 2026 18:35:30
As Zikos said, there is no loyalty in football, so Rohl could walk away just the same. Hopefully he's here for the long term. We can question decisions on certain games, but, long term, I think he will be a big name in management.
22 Feb 2026 23:21:13
There is no loyalty in football, and it has nothing to do with fans. I don't want Celtic to get Jens. The guy is a great coach, and everyone can see why.
No one seriously said to take the sheep manager last year. It's just pure nonsense to even mention that to try and suit your argument.
23 Feb 2026 03:30:55
I appreciate everyone's thoughts are different.
I think it comes down to: can you change a manager who is doing well for someone you think is even better?
I think you can; most don't think that's right, or even that he is doing better.
I think if you can do it with players, then the same applies to managers. Every club is always looking for better players than they already have, so why not managers?
23 Feb 2026 12:21:27
Get where you're coming from, Zikos, but a massive risk.
23 Feb 2026 18:16:50
Zikos, it isn't about thinking; the facts show he isn't performing as well as Rohl. If he was, then you are down to opinion on whether we should change. So, the risk is even greater to change the better performing manager.
Just to compare. Should Hearts change him for McInnes just because he is playing good football? Hearts are top even if their play isn't as attractive. The only difference with us is we are only second, but it is the same question.
24 Feb 2026 11:40:16
Angus, I get your point, but you're not considering what he's got at his disposal vs what Rohl and McInnes have.
With the games I've seen them play this year, there have been times when they've not had a CB, and have played a back 3 consisting of 3 RBs.
