I'll hold off a couple of rounds yet!

If we get to the semi's i'll be in touch!

KeithAFC · 24-02-2011 8:22pm

Would be like an invasion.

Pal · 24-02-2011 8:27pm

imagine Rangers v Liverpool in Dublin.

the mind boggles.

Busy day for the Gardai

KeithAFC · 24-02-2011 8:28pm

Would be more Rangers fans.

Deserved to go through there in the end. 4 players waiting for Healy's cross, don't think I've ever seen so many Rangers players forward!

Pal · 24-02-2011 8:33pm

bit off topic but great game on now Villareal v Napoli

napoli scored and a wall came tumbling down

Pal · 24-02-2011 8:40pm

Not too unhappy with that.

The more games for rangers the better!

Its very rare for me not to be upset when rangers get a positive result. But this is a blessing for Celtic in a way. More games for the threadbare squad.Grampa weir will be cussin edu for that. Lisbon were woeful it has to be said.

Frightening thought.Extra Gardai would have to be drafted in from every county in Ireland.Maybe even the Irish Army would be needed(I dont know if Im joking here)

Pal · 24-02-2011 8:59pm

I'm a Celtic supporter but to be fair you have to give Rangers credit.
They would have been a bit short on confidence after the weekend and they came back tonight impressively.

Eirebear · 24-02-2011 9:01pm

All the stuff about too many games may very well be true, but i'm damn sure if you asked the players they'd rather be in it than not!

Big run of games coming up -

27th Feb
St Johnstone (H)

2nd March
Celtic (A) SC Replay

6th March
St Mirren (A)

10th March
PSV (H)

17th March
PSV (A)

20th March
Celtic (Hampden) LC FInal

6 points in the league, still in Europe, still in Scottish Cup and League Cup champs?
Then things woould be interesting!

KeithAFC · 24-02-2011 9:06pm

Plenty to play for. 2 games in hand in the league. Still got to play them at Ibrox. Come on The Rangers. Lets do this

Pal · 24-02-2011 9:07pm

nice chatting to you.
back to the telly.
2nd half.
Villarreal have equalised.
Good luck Rangers.
CIAO

Eirebear · 24-02-2011 9:21pm

Interesting wee factoid for the superstitious among us.

We have played Sporting twice in european competition. 1972 and 2008.

Pal · 24-02-2011 9:31pm

quick update.

Villarreal 2 1 up

Napoli piling on the pressure

Villarreal win 2 1

have to say Napoli are not likeable.

Worst disciplinary record in Europa League.
Surrounded the ref after the game (for nothing).

No Italians left.

3 Brits remain out of 16.

Could be RANGERS at Aviva yet.

But somebody still has to beat Villarreal. They are a good team.

I'd like to avoid them for as long as possible, our record against spanish teams is abysmal.

Will be thousands of people who you would imagine many republicans would not like to see in Dublin. RSF being one group who would not like it.

I'm sure there will be a lot of people who wouldnt want Rangers there at all, thats why it would be all the more pleasurable if a huge number of bears went there and had a great time despite all the outrage from some quarters.

WallyGUFC · 25-02-2011 12:11am

Rangers fans would be grand until the scumbags clad in Celtic shirts stream down from their knacker estates with trouble on their minds.

TBF we've our own fair share of scumbags too, and Dublin is similar to Manchester in the fact that its very cheap & easy to get to from Glasgow.

(I dont actually think well make the final, however...) Could you imagine the numbers that were in Manchester turning up in Templebar before a game against Liverpool at the Aviva?

The guards would be completely, and utterly out of their depth and wether malicious or not, chaos would ensue.

ctrl-alt-delete · 25-02-2011 8:13am

Just popped in to offer my Congratulations on last night, great time to score what turned out to be the tie winning goal,

Delighted for Diouf to bag himself an important goal, I don't like him much, but as a Blackburn fan I know he is worth his weight when he puts the effort into the playing side of things.

Difficult one up next against PSV, but great confidence to be taken from last night!

I'll ignore all the other crap being talked about here.

Pal · 25-02-2011 9:12am

Rangers are definitely in with a chance against PSV.
Ibrox is a tough place to get a result for any team.

problem is the next round.
My predicted winners are in bold.
Who would you want ?
answer : none of them

Benfica Paris Saint-Germain
Dynamo Kyiv Manchester City
Twente Zenit St. Petersburg
CSKA Moscow Porto
PSV Eindhoven Rangers
Bayer Leverkusen Villarreal
Ajax Spartak Moscow
Braga Liverpool

I can't see Rangers getting any further, Sporting CP were truly woeful over the two legs, from their performance over the two legs they would be the equivalent of a top half SPL side in Scotland, a quality somewhere between Hearts and Kilmarnock. I would have been surprised had Rangers failed to get through as, over the two legs, they were the better side yet they seriously struggled.

PSV are miles ahead of Sporting in terms of quality and confidence. I can't see anything apart from a PSV win.

you must live a very sheltered life if you think this!!!

no disrespect to eirebear and others who seem genuine on here but rangers have a huge number of scumbags with chips on their shoulders about the republic....it would kick off even before the ''celtic knackers'' showed up....just look at manchester!!!

anyway i think PSV might be too strong for rangers in the next round!!!

In our last two league meetings we'd win the tie 5-0(2-0 at Ibrox & 3-0 at paradise) on agg.If Psv are any good it shouldnt matter if both games are at Ibrox(Plus, they wont have to factor in the 12th man i.e. Our Scottish refs who are prone to the odd "honest mistake" or two.;)

PSV are sitting top of their league.
Joint best defence with Ajax so far with 22 conceded.
Easily outscoring all their rivals. 66 goals to the next being 51
They'll have every right to feel very confident after defeating a very strong Lille side who themselves sit second in their league with a very comfortable GD.

They however drew with Sporting Lisbon who themselves are in very poor form.
3rd in their league, but
15pts off second and 23 off the top
GD of 8, yes 8, compared to 26 for Benfica and 39 for Porto.

All in all, I'd say the only thing Edu's goal "achieved" was a better Scottish co-efficient and an extra 2 games for an already weary, threadbare R*ngers squad, that they really can't physically afford. (Though Lloyds will be happy with the extra Gate reciept) Somebody get Davy Weir a defibrillator!!

I'm happy enough!

Isnt it embarrasing when your main hope of winning the league is that Rangers might get tired?

Now run along, we'll do our best to keep Scottish football somewhere in Europe, i'm sure you'll watch.

Our main hope of taking back the league is playing you off the park, as we have been doing. But if some fixture congestion makes for some weary blues and helps us on our way, I'll smile and accept it gracefully.
