26th of foot 5,857 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Rangers travelled to the wilds of Sutherland on Sunday, braved the midges and thrashed the mighty Brora 0-2. A fine double by future club and country skipper, Lewis McLeod(there can be only one) saw this season's favourites for the SPFL2 title, deservedly notch a first victory in the ephemera that is pre-season. In stark contrast, the green'n'grey hooped horrors have stuttered around the south German plain like a one legged goose stepper at an arse-kicking party. Three pre-season friendlies have resulted in three defeats; 1-0, 2-1, and 6-2 this evening. German second division side, Greuther Furth operated like a will drilled Panzer regiment and blasted six holes in the expensively assembled Sellik defence. Neil was inconsolable, "I am the wurst brat in Bavaria, managing a team of bratwursts". I know some will question the relevance to Rangers Chat; however, I am imbued with a sense of immense well-being. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 They'll be playing Union Berlin on the 12th, which will also be screened live in German (local) TV. Need to get into contact with the commentator before he comes up with the usual religious babble. Are we in for a treat? Well, Union beat Dundee United 4-1 last Sunday ... NB: Greuther Fürth have been hopeless last season in the Bundesliga and were deservedly relegated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Sidenote ... someone saw the game and noted that the Yahoos played a brilliant non-contact game, the prime objective being: don't get injured ahead of Cliftonville. In many ways a shame, for e.g. the Fürth people came in abundance to watch a supposedly great team from Europe. Furthermore, since the Old Firm are usually looked upon as a duo, and both as representatives for the Scottish game, the latter takes huge dents in the eyes of the observers. It obviously is also no advert for the thriving SP(F)L. Another sidenote from the same German observer: Liverpool came to Mainz a few years ago and woefully lost 5-0. At the end of the season, Liverpool won the Champions League and Mainz got relegated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,857 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Looking through the print and cyber media take on ra Sellik suffering a 6-2 thrashing has been rather pleasurable. Sky head line, 'Sellik Thrashed', both the Herald and Evening Times are equally unequivocating, and the Record contains a damning report. BBC Scotland continue to report only good news furra Yahoos, 'Hooper sets new goals', Cliftonville install extra seats', and '£12million for Victor'. Cosgrove and Cowan appealed for Scottish football to, 'Get Real' last weekend, it would appear some run of results are too real. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,283 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yep, they played some decent stuff in patches ... but again looked like not wanting to get injured. Will up their game for Cliftonville no doubt, though I hope not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
