Auld Reekin' Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I,m really sorry........ ...That Zenit didn,t score 5 or 6! Reckon they would have done if Poguemahoneyakent (or whatever his name was - their centre-forward who peshed all over Bayern) had been playing. Na zdrovya!

deejpee Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Think everyones got the old maroon tinted glasses on. Rangers starting 11 cost about 4/5 million? Whilst Zenits splashed over 12million on their captain alone. You can only play to your strengths. If you dont have enough quality to outplay opponents then thats when you do anything to get the win.

Only a Game Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Chelsea meekly surrender the title to the famous Manchester United. Pressley gets a rapturous reception at Tynecastle and his assertion that the vast majority of Hearts fans hate him is blown completely out of the water. His favourite team flop in the UEFA cup final. Not been a great month so far to be Therapist, or one of his ilk. Still to look forward to. His favourite team blow the title.

It is not a system for the the neutral or the purist. Looking back at Rangers in Europe it has been a chore.

CostaJambo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Rangers had absolutely nothing going forward and deserved to lose. To me it looked as if Smith wanted to contain them for 90 mins and then take a view for extra time. After he brought on Novo and the game was still running away from them a few minutes later I felt he was happy to lose this one provided they didn't pick up any injuries in the title run in. Funny game when you can forget about European glory to save face in the domestic league. Pity our club doesn't have these problems to overcome.

The formula was not to concede and sneak a goal or make it to pens. It didn't work tonight. FWIW I feel sorry for them. But from a very early stage it was obvious there was only one team that was going to win it. Indeed, I foretold that that Rangers would play for penalties from the kickoff and that only way it would be a good game would be if one team scored an early goal. So it panned out - was easiest second-guess I?ve EVER made naturally... So it cannot have been too hard for a coach of Advocaat?s quality to set his team out (just keep nutter Ricksen out of the team so that you finish with 11) even without his top striker....

freddiemac Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Congratulations to Walter Smith's team on creating a new european record having now played in 10 (ten) matches in the one season in european competitions where they have failed to score . anti-football at it's very best and credit is due to the backroom team and players alike for putting in so much effort and hard work to nullify opponents and boring everybody to tears .

Would be interesting to see what positives they take from this if anybody east of Falkirk actually cared what drivel they publish. At the end of the day Rangers did great to make it to the final and were beaten by a better team, I was surprised to see some weegies crying at the final whistle. Probably missing their skag fix.

shaun.lawson Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Police supervisor just on BBC complimenting the Rangers FC fans on their impeccable behaviour. English tv reporter doing the same. Well done, although many on here will be gutted. Hmm. On Five Live this evening, a Scottish Man Utd fan phoned up, clearly in a state of shock. He and his brother, both from Bolton, fancied a trip into Manchester to mingle in the party (sic) atmosphere, and finished up befriending a group of Rangers fans. He wore a Scotland jersey, and as a Catholic, had actually gone to the lengths of taking the cross he always wears off, so aware was he of Rangers' appalling reputation. Things seemed to be going fine - until it emerged that he was a Man Utd fan. Sensing danger, he tried protesting that Alex Ferguson was a Protestant - but the apologies for human beings around him started chanting "Chelsea! Chelsea!" (a link between Chelsea and Rangers fans? Surely not!), chased him, and bottled his brother - who had to go to hospital needing thirty stitches in his head. Now what do you make of that? A Mancunian in his own city, just interested in meeting new people and having a laugh, and pleased as punch that a Scottish club had reached a European final, viciously attacked by **** for being a Man Utd fan (and presumably, because they guessed he was Catholic). As someone who seems to take so much pride in the fortunes of "Rangers FC", are you going to condemn this, or just come up with an excuse for the thugs who follow the club?

Wattie Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The SPL DID help them though: They called off the game before the Scotland match and called the game off after the death of O'Donnell. Plus they extended the season FOR THEM, costing many players from other teams their holidays with no reimbursement. Quit moaning and accept you were beaten by a superior team playing superior football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
