Rangers Vs Sevilla, Champions Leage 29/9/09

Eirebear

Rangers welcome back midfielder Pedro Mendes after the Portuguese served a domestic suspension.

Steven Davis is available and defender Sasa Papac hopes to play despite a hamstring strain. Steven Smith may deputise if Papac fails to recover.

Sevilla's Argentine quartet of winger Diego Perotti, defender Federico Fazio and midfielders Aldo Duscher and Lautaro Acosta are out through injury.

Fredi Kanoute is expected to partner Luis Fabiano up front.

Another victory for anti football this evening? Or the complete and utter pounding we have been asking for for a while?
Who knows!

Nah, unfortunately Rangers fans are a casualty of the fall out between ITV and STV, none of the games will be shown outwith Sky.

Unfortunately i couldnt afford the 100 quid asked for the 3 match package so im just gonna have to go to the pub...

How much will you spend in six trips to the pub?

I'll spend no more than a tenner tonight Des, im not going out to get hammered, simply going to view the game.

So 60 quid, for 6 games, spread over 12 weekss, as opposed to 100 quid i didnt have when the 3 match packages went on sale.

Talked to a few of the Sevilla fans in Central Station this evening, showed them the way to Ibrox and wished them luck for tonight. I should be employed by the city PR people as I kept saying how great their own city is and they should get back to Spain with a smile on their face

Des - Eirebear talked about the 3 match package therefore there are only 3 trips to the pub to replace not buying the home package.

but some team might!!!

Tonight is a tough one for Rangers.
Sevilla have started so well and in a different season would be top of the Spanish League - it just so happens Barca and Real have had such unbelievable start!!
Rangers havent scored for a while - by law of averages they should get one tonight....
1-2

Sevilla's bench is very very good, Renato, Diego Capel, Romaric, Negredo could all easily be starters and the team would be just as strong. Impressive team really.

Think Negredo will play ahead of him more times than not this season.

Hoping for emphatic Sevilla win.

Rangers should have had a peno tbh, Sevilla not in the 1st half much.

Need a win here.

1-0 Sevilla rangers being robbed

A Dub in Glasgo

From the BBC

'2049: Let's get one thing straight: Rangers should 100% have been awarded a first-half penalty for the foul on Steven Naismith. It was as cast-iron as you get.'

Ooohhh, I love controversial European nights

Well done Sevilla.. Great night of results

Eirebear

Well, that was heartbreaking.

For 65 minutes we controlled that game, playing some of the best football i have seen us play in absolutely ages.
We passed the ball well, we created a few chances, our opponents who are of a far better class than us created one. Unfortunately we couldnt take them.

We were the victims of some awful refereeing, including but not only, the penalty decision and the freekick before Sevilla's first.
Even after the first, we attacked, we showed guts and played football.

Sadly however we were hit on the break for the second and collapsed after that. Part of that blame in my opinion must go to Walter, he knew the substitution(s) he wanted to make, we all knew what he was going to do. So why did it take him ten ****ing minutes to do it?

All in all we were beaten by a team who took their chances, but there are a lot of positives to take into the old firm game on sunday.

When the fourth went in memories of Juve and Ajax came rushing back to me, this was nothing like those games however.

Unlucky Rangers, I watched game, and it was a penalty to be fair. Also, its a red card, then the lad goes up other end and scores. Who knows what would have happened had Rangers gone 1 up. Seville were very clinical and they will trouble much better sides than Rangers this year. One positive was that Stuttgart didn't win, two wins against Urinea could put Rangers in a very strong position. If they play like they did in first half 2nite they will beat Unirea.

ah right, i see. was this in the CL or just in general. i'll be very surprised if you beat them home and away, am happy to place a wager with you on it

Dude, Sevilla will beat them.

I know theyre a decent side, but they are inexperienced at this level. I expect Rangers to take 4 points of them and will be dissapointed by less.

Yet you are willing to put money on them beating Sevilla? I'll take that bet off you.

Dreamer: Your team done well tonight, but got lucky in many ways. I reckon the game in Seville will be much tighter.

Sevilla play in spain and Unirea in Romania

Sevilla will beat them away and rangers at home and thats us out of teh groups, Stuttgart away could be tricky tho.


Think Rangers done well, certainly deserved something for most of the game, 4-1 flattered Sevilla but with those strikers they will score if given half a chance.

eZe^

Only saw the goals, but from the sounds of it Sevilla got a bit lucky. They have the ability to play teams off the park with their swift passing and deadly finishing, sounds like it was only the latter that got them through this game. Adriano's goal was a peach though, likewise was Novo's.

tdv

Konko's goal was very nicley worked aswell.

Rangers did play well but at Ibrox & with that support I wouldnt expecet anything less than a good performance.
