Nevermind 153 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Proud of the lads. A hell of a journey. An absolute shitter of a way to lose a game but they gave it a go. No Morelos and others missing. Proud. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a Barisic poster on his bedroom wall and as his phone wallpaper. Ok I'll stop. Don't ban me. @Rousseau now you can ban me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Morelos and others missing. Played a European semi and final without a recognised striker. We managed a way to defeat Leipzig over two legs without Roofe of Alfredo, tonight was one step too far. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,254 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Bringing on Sakala instead of Roofe was a mistake which cost us the game. We needed more threat uo front. Frankfurt subbed both their CB’s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud of the players, can't underestimate the achievement of getting to the final but that was probably out best ever opportunity to win a major European Tourniment. Everyone is rightly distraught tonight but you're absolutely right- this isn't the time for mudslinging. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is to see fans already hurling criticism at individual players or the manager. This has been the most amazing roller coaster ride in Europe and everyone contributed to get us to Seville. I wish we were bringing home the trophy and booking our place in the CL ..... but it is what it is and slagging off players a few days before another cup final seems fairly counter productive. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,775 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 2 finals in my lifetime (I can't remember Barcelona 1972 - I was only 4!), I hope I live to see a 3rd and may be a victory! Huge financial disparity in European Football means Rangers getting to finals isn't happening every year no matter how much we'd like it to. That shouldn't stop us dreaming tho. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As weird as it sounds but if the final was over two legs, I think we'd have won it! Manchester was a great experience but I think the majority of us knew Zenit were going to beat us. We can say Walter was to conservative in the final, but those were the tactics that got us there. Tonight, after knocking out Dortmund and Leipzig, we thought we had a chance, and we did. I'd say Frankfurt were better team than Leipzig and remember are unbeaten in Europe this season - that is some achievement. Off course players make mistakes, managers select the "wrong players" and wrong tactics, that's football. It's hard to accept domestically but at this level, we are punching way above our weight. The way European Football is structured and financed, Rangers aren't meant to be anywhere near the final. Time to dust ourselves down and get behind the team on Saturday - it's gonna be a tough and after tonight, but we need to go again. Thanks for the memories in this season's EL I for one will certainly cherish them. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all we can ever do. Move on and try to win the next one. We really did come close this time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
