    If the team I supported won throphies by playing football that makes bolton look like a passing team I'd be ****ing disgusted.

    Anti - football lol. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

    Rangers look very, very organised and hardworking. Zenith will get plenty of possession but it will be difficult to break them down.

    Once you win you don't give a **** as a fan.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    wonder what the odds are for it to be 0-0 after 120mins (god i hope Zenith have good penalty takers).

    And you think Milan play attractive football?

    If it goes to extra time Zenith should have a big benefit as IIRC they play summer football so are only at the start of there season.

    seriously? so they have beenin pre-season / unfitwhile getting to the final and impressing most of Europe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,714 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Btw, does anyone know if DeMarcus Beasley is still at Rangers and getting his game? Is he suspended for the final?

    Yes, yes I can.

    Liverpool got to the final that year by playing anti-football and rangers have done the same thing this year.

    It's a crime that fiorentina aren't in the final.

    Rangers may as well have just played 10 centre backs and a keeper in the last match.

    You think they don't?

    They play posession based passing football with 3 playmakers and two strikers in their starting 11.

    Watch Milan Vs. United from last year.

    Watch the derby last week

    Watch the two games against arsenal where both teams played excellent football for 180 minutes.

    If you think milan are boring you're a ****ing idiot.

    Yeah.

    Season started last week in March.

    If you think that Rangers fans - or any set of fans for that matter - give a **** about how their team wins trophies then you ain't the sharpest tool in the box. Give it a rest. Your point has been made.

    It's aggressive expression of implied personal opinion if you ask me.

    Zenith are a far superior team, everyone knows that. If Rangers come out to try and play against them they will be torn apart and humiliated, same as the game against Fiorentina.

    Rangers come out and play. :) I'd be shocked. Rangers best players are in their defence. Cuellar is excellent.

    Lads Lads, lets not have an argument, enjoy the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭YeatsCounty


    Have Rangers had a shot on target yet?

    Well I'm a fan of football, I'd rather watch Milan lose 4-3 and play open attacking football then win on penalties and be forced to watch the muck rangers call football.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,714 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Should have been a penalty.

    I dont think so they are bloody awful.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    lets stop the fussing and the feudin on this thread, we all know Rangers play boring as hell football but that football is going to be edge of their seat, jump up and down like crazy proclaiming your team played brilliantly football if it works for every Rangers fan watching tonight if they win.

    :eek:0-0 at half time...never woulda guessed

    No, they did have a nice attempt at dislocation one of the lads in the walls shoulder.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    That was a close call...I have seen penos given for that.

    Ah missed the first half while I was helping me dad out. Got some bulmers here and am sitting down to the second half, should be exciting!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,681 ✭✭✭Chong


    Yup my dad just got the beer in , some heineken now for the second half :D.

    As i said.

    Why would they attack Zenith and just get ripped apart and lose this final when they could win it by playing like this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,121 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    The history books won't say Rangers won the UEFA Cup in 2008 by playing ****e football, it will just say Rangers won the UEFA Cup in 2008.

    Should have been a penalty though, can't believe neither the ref or assistant gave it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    lol wtf


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    commentator summed it up right, more action from Rangers right there than in the previous 50+mins surprised something didnt come out of that

    Messy from Zenith at the back. Could be as good a chance as Rangers get over the 90. It must be said that they have established more of a foothold in the first 10 min of the second half.
