"out of Europe twice before the nights got dark"

[26th of foot 5,845]

It was the season of our failed attempt at ten-in-a-row, we lost a CL qualifier to Gothenburg in August, then lost a UEFA Cup tie to Strasburg in late September. By the Ne'rday game at ra Stydome, we were off the pace in the league championship to Vim ra Tim's green'n'grey hooped horrors. By Spring a faltering Sellik and a re-energised Rangers saw a double header old firm match-up in both the Scottish Cup and the League.

 

At the neutral Stydome, Rangers wiped the floor with ra Yahoos, Jorg Albertz running more than half the pitch before slotting home the clincher in the semi-final. The following week at Ibrox, Jorg replicated the feat. Rangers edged ahead on goal difference and ra Sellik faithfull in both broadcast and print media went into meltdown.

 

As usual in those days, Radio Snyde was at the forefront in articulating Yahoo hurt. Chief Executive, Paul Cooney hosted the phone-in in the immediate wake of the Ibrox victory. A Bear came on and celebrated the two victories on successive Saturdays, eulogising Albertz's goals. He added that if the two teams were to meet next weekend, Jorg would do the same again. Cooney lost it, let himself down by accusing the Bear of gloating!

 

Cooney recovered enough to ask Nuremburg Hugh for his reaction to the caller? Ra Shugster cleared his throat and spat venom, "all this from a Rangers supporter whose team was knocked out of Europe twice before the nights got dark". Cooney congratulated Nuremburg on his, "fantasTIC retort".

 

What goes around, comes around and last evening saw Hugh's beloved Sellik equal that feat. Out of Europe twice before the nights got dark, in fact out of Europe twice before the transfer window has closed. Further, out of Europe on four(yep FOUR) seperate occasions in a calendar year. Knocked out by Arsenal on 260809 at 21.45hrs and succumbed last evening(260810) at 21.15hrs.

 

Hey Nuremburg, GIRFUY.

It really does emphasise how far they've fallen since the days of O'Neill and even Strachan. 10 years ago they had just beaten Ajax 3-1 in Amsterdam and beaten us 6-2

They were shite under Strachan. Just fluked it in Europe and had no opposition in the SPL

[Guest Flying Hippo]

Strachan's home record in Europe was sensational, and he had a much less talented team than O'Neill. Ugly tactics but i find it hilarious how they were desperate to get him out when you consider their 2 managers since

In the last four days, they have entered a vortex of depression. The Erskine Bridge administration should be alerted as they lurch from ludicrous claims to vivid reality. On Sunday evening, James Forrest was the new AidenBhoy, Benny Lemmon was getting it right(again), and Robbie Keane was once again in the bowels of ra Stydome having another medical. Today, it all sounds like quadruple Dutch!

 

Oh, and how about Aiden's vow to learn Russian? See, AidenBhoy is pyoor roots an'at kno', like the rest of his family, born, bred, and educated in aul Ireland. A practical broth of a Bhoy to be sure, Aiden's first request was how to say, 'be sure and bygorra, whur can I purchase ten pounds of potatoes'?

Bluedell,

 

Why have you posted a picture of Arthur Askey?

Nice to hear Sky Sports refer to it today as a "humiliation for celtic". You can just imagine the complaints flooding in for having the temerity to be accurate. "Nae need fur that, man"

How have the Scottish media been describing it ?

I dunno, but as we're constantly told about how important the co-efficient is i'm sure they'll be demanding universal support from Scottish Football fans and that we will also gain universal support from the journalists themselves.
