You need goalscorers first... Disgraceful team selection tbh. Without doubt their most defensive team of the season by far. At home to Barca they played Cousin, Beasley and Adam. Tonight Cousin was the only attack minded player to start. Whitaker is an attacking right back who Walter plays as a winger. McCullogh is a combative player for the other side. Hemdani is a really defensive holding midfielder. Thomson is a holding midfielder. Ferguson is a general box to box player and their most likely source of a goal, which says it all.
I've no respect for Walter Smith and those type of tactics at home.
christ put the bloody thing in the net!

0-3, dead and buried. better finishing and this could have ended differently, but man for man, lyon have been superior.

Darchville's shot clearly bounced a few inches too high on that terrible surface. If it wasn't for that it was 1-1 and Rangers 10 minutes from the last 16.
Would have been a travesty if Lyon were deprived of their due.
Lyon to win the Champions League anybody?Not a great performance but have some real quality and with a bit of luck they could do it.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Good game all the same. It was probably the one game left in the whole competition where there was something to play for.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Most Protestants are.There's a couple of (proper) Rangers supporters on boards.ie. One I think lives in Donegal though. The other is a Glaswegian living in Dublin with his wife. Seems like a decent guy and always asking for places to watch the match in Dublin and if anyone is interested in meeting up. Give him a shout. Something to keep you interested while the LOI is on a break.
I think the fact he's living in Dublin is what required the clarification, rather than his religion

The most popular religion in Latvia is Catholicism.
99.9% of the cocaine comes from Colombia - a Catholic country.
I'd like to rename you just plain "stoic".

What, a Protestant living in Dublin, I'm shocked !I think the fact he's living in Dublin is what required the clarification, rather than his religion
No, I'm implying that he needed to clarify he was a decent guy because a lot of people living in dublin aren't.
I'm worried that I could be talking to the borg or something.

Well that's my question answered then.
Thought Darchville ran into the ball he put over. He was unlucky but that's about all you can say he was unlucky with. Petulant piece of thuggery he got sent off for ...very silly carry on.
Rangers crossing, frees and corner-taking were consistently brutal and they'll have to work on it. Thought Lyon were okay but hardly champions in waiting. There's always a chance a team in the position Rangers found themselves in would slip up at the back when they need to commit forward.
Third goal was a peach though.
Enjoyed the coverage and novelty value of it all. Nice not to be saddled with watching the Mancs for a change.

In a statistical sense a pretty big city will inevitably have "a lot" of people who won't be decent. But is Dublin particularly bad to merit you making a point of it? If so, who, why, where?
Of the hundreds of people in Dublin I personally know and the hundreds that I've briefly encountered (say 700 total) I can only think of very few, at most 10, who came across as not being decent people. Also, of that sample I'd estimate about 70 would be of oft-derided D4 stock.
I fret that the problem may lie more at your end dearest Gavin.*
Alternatively of course it could be that I'm such a decent person that people raise their performance when they meet me.
Im afraid to say, it has. I dont like to harp on but its been all negative in my, admittedly limited, experience.
Of course, my first act upon touching down in Dublin is to sing the "you are a jackeen" song, gestures and all. That may set the tone for the excursion. Fortunately noone in "The Dandelion" appears to know what a jackeen is.

Yeah the Dandelion would be a pretty upmarket spot alright.
You could well be right about Dublin. But of all the Dublin people I've actually met, not just looked at and judged, I must say I've no qualms in saying they are great people. Maybe it's the culchies coming to Dublin who get ahead of themselves and think they're brilliant for making it to Dublin that the problem lies with!
I think it's a broader societal thing though. Myself and your arch-nemesis have said it before, people just aren't friendly enough to each other. Particularly when you consider the minute chances of actually sharing the same time and place with that person. (I've been doing some deep thinking on foot of the 'life on other planets' thread.)
