Manchester we were never in it, why would you watch that back? Seville we had one hand on the trophy, it is 'what might have been' rather than 'what never shall be'.
I'm not going full Suvill, name a suite and all that, but the players deserve the recognition, imho.

I'm not going full Suvill, name a suite and all that, but the players deserve the recognition, imho. They, and us, gave our all. It was the finest of micro margins, it is something we should be proud of. This team has balls of steel.
All I have managed so far is I put myself through watching the penalties again to see if the Germans were as accurate as I remembered . They were. Mcgregor had no chance with any of them.I'll never watch it.
Still never seen a single second of Manchester since the full time whistle and Seville will be no different.
Heartbroken for the players, management, backroom staff and especially the fans. We all knew it was within our grasp but ultimately we fell agonisingly short.
Proud of the efforts from the team but I can't relive that pain again.
Will never watch the game or anything with seville init . Hurts too much..Anyone watched it?
It is a fantastic document of the final.
Ramsey...
Dougie Park is absolutley gutted at the trophy presentation, as we all were/are.
So close. We go again, get that Zadok music playing boys.

I hear you. In a similar boat myself. The main pain from Seville for me comes from even the cynic in me, who always tends to think the worst, even I had started to believe when Aribo scores we might just do it. I felt it all through the fortnight build up to the game as well. But I did not admit it. My old man did, at 72 he kept saying we are doing this. Never seen him so desolate after a game in my life, and that was hard to see. Thankfully being the man he is he’s back to normal already , better than I am in fact!tbh, I wasn't as emotinally invested in Manchester as I was in Seville. Manchester was easier (Dad and I were full points TC members, and I booked an apartment beside Picadilly after Bremen) Seville was a genuine mission. My dad is 72, it is our 150th. I don't feel regret, but I do need closure.
I don't want to feel about Seville the way I feel about 2008.
This team is fabulous, I want to love them.

That’s great to hear! But I’m not sure I can rewatch itI watched the whole match back last week, sober and obviously minus nerves.
We were MUCH better than I felt immediately after the game, it kind of made me feel better, or at least less disappointed and like you say, proud of the team.
My initial thoughts were that we were timid, nervous and didn't do ourselves justice, it was the opposite watching it back, Rangers were the better team and deserved to win, we took the game to them throughout, at the end of 90 minutes and at the end of extra time we were the only side going for it.
Only thing that will beat that will be winning the thing.The 10 minutes after the Aribo goal is something that’ll live with me forever but I doubt I’ll ever watch the match highlights.
Every cloud....Only thing that will beat that will be winning the thing.
Iv actually watched the highlights again, even the pens.
Because of Manchester I cant even listen to Best of You by the Foo Fighters
I eventually watched Manchester on the Monday before Seville. Getting excited about the match my 2 boys were asking questions about the 2008 game, when I told them I hadn't watched it they were shocked and wanted to see it with me, I reluctantly agreed. I don't think this one will take me 14 years but I can't just yet.I’ve still not watched Manchester back, nvm a couple weeks ago.
When Aribo hit the net there was a moment of are we really going to do this?
Wild celebrations turned to tears and the fact that we were leading in a European Cup Final.
The next 5 minutes was sheer emotions running wild. Don’t think there was a dry eye.
I just kept screaming at my dad, 'one hand on the trophy, one hand on the trophy!'.
It is gut wrenching, but it is also magnificent.
Same, I had a truly brilliant experience and a great couple of weeks build up to it.We did not do ourselves justice in the final, but credit goes to frankfurt as they had done their homework and stifled our attacking options.
The more open the game became, the better we played. I still believe we are the better team, and would fancy us if we met them again.
We were fantastic throughout the tournament, and although we were beaten by the very finest of margins, our club and fans deserve enormous credit.
There is no way that I look on our Europa run as a failure, I look on it as a magnificent achievement.
I’d say you’ve summed the game up pretty well.My recollection of the game must be absolutely terrible.
I thought during the 90 minutes we were actually quite poor apart from a couple of 5-10 minute spells.
Frankfurt weren’t great either tbf but I thought they had the better chances and the better spells of controlled possession.
When I left the game I was pretty sure Frankfurt were the better team in 90 minutes and we shaded extra time and looked much stronger the longer it went on.
I’ll never watch the full game back so I’ll need to take the word of anyone that has that says we were better.
Aribo put a difficult turn and shot past the post in the first half and Jack had an easier shot to get on target from just inside the box than the one he scored from at Hampden. Put it over the bar when he should have done much better.I’d say you’ve summed the game up pretty well.
I watched the game on tv and the highlights about a week ago.
We were slow out of the traps and continually coughed up possession through misplaced passes or poor control.
Frankfurt had the better chances - aside from our goal we had the Kent chance, the Davis follow up and not much else.
About 2 mins before they scored Goldson took a poor touch and we lost possession. Kamada put the ball on the roof of our net thus spurning a great chance.
Thought after that “%^*& me, we’re doing this”. However, that goal we conceded would look abysmal in the Petrofac Final
