2024-25 UEFA Europa League

SuperTortoise

If Rangers were to be playing in the English league where do you currently think they would sit?

Lower championship?

sligeach

Diabolical mistake from Butland to put Man United 1-0 up. He's punched the ball into his own net. You have to see it to believe it.

That is classic!

Rangers hit the post. Should have scored. VAR would have ruled it out for offside had it gone in.

retalivity

Harry Maguire, jesus christ!

sligeach

Rangers have levelled the game. It's not been a high quality game, but it wouldn't have been right for it to be decided by a howler of an own goal from the Rangers keeper. That was an excellent first touch and finish for the goal. Maguire should have done better.

This is a tight league. Can't believe the change in table positions of both Utd and Rangers with that equaliser.

sligeach

2-1 to Man United. Only a minute or so after the equaliser. Lovely cross, but the Rangers defender switched off and let Fernandes have a free finish.

Royale with Cheese

I tried watching the goals show on TNT but apparently it now features Joe Cole. Hard pass.

sligeach

What kind of marking was that by FSCB? It was non-existent. Dalot ghosted in completely free at the back post. It came only a minute after Fernandes hit the crossbar. That should have been a wake up call to get tight.

sligeach

What a bullet of a strike from Birligea for FSCB. Hits the underside of the crossbar and the player following in heads it wide. He would have been offside though. So close to a screamer of an equalizer in the top left hand corner.

sligeach

C'mon Bodø/Glimt, need them to get a winner in their match to make top 8. They're the only team realistically that can change the standings. They're currently outside the top 8 on goal difference.

sligeach

Bodø/Glimt huffed and puffed but couldn't create any decent chances towards the end. Very disappointing result for them against Nice, who without this point would finished bottom of the entire table.

Deeper Blue

Would love to see a Bilbao-Sociedad semi final, which would be huge in itself but with the final being in Bilbao it'd surely be the biggest game between the two in decades
