Match Thread FC Ufa 1 (1) v Rangers 1 (2) - 15:00 Thursday - Rangers TV UK & Abroad

[Samba Si]

Incredible heart shown by the players there and a well deserved result over the two legs.

 

[Brant Hurley]

A deep sense of quiet satisfaction has descended. Proud to be a Bear. WATP.

 

[isawthat]

Well done the nine men, heroes everyone. My blood pressure might go back to normal in a couple of days.

 

[TN8]

That was fucking epic.

I came out to the boozer for the 2nd half, think I'll stay out for a while

 

[Loyal Lad 1872]

Well done Rangers

We're on our way!!!

 

[Commentator]

Bloody hell, thank *&^% that's over.
BUT WE DID IT.
Have to admire the twelve men who stood up, a proper Rangers backs to-the-wall performance.
Congratulations to Steven Gerrard and his team.

 

[andy17x]

My god what a roller coaster. Well done Rangers, absolute titans.

Ryan Jack and Ovie Ejaria were outstanding.

add Ryan Kent

 

[Kowloon72]

Delighted with the result. Analysis can wait for tomorrow (late here). Nerves are shredded

 

[Johnny The Fox]

Looking forward to the winter and European Thursday nights now!

The ref gave us everything the last few mins

 

[tazzabear]

‘The wee buffalo’ can take a %^*& to himself as far as I’m concerned. The only reason his stupidity didn’t cost us is because the other 10 heroes were immense and dragged us through.

We did it in spite of him.

As for the rest of the boys and the management - heroes. Every single one of them. They should be the focus tonight.

Sadly, I agree with every word here.
If Gerrard sticks by him, he’d better deliver and the poster you replied to would be correct.
Morelos owes the players on the park, big, big time.

 

[jtylerpittman]

Me waiting for the post match interview

 

[Ambiorix]

It's performances like that that forge real team spirit. It could be the making of us.

 

[be11y]

That 2nd half was brutal to watch, but what a team performance to dig in and hold on. Outstanding

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Fucking Yassss well deserved there, warrior and siege mentality proud as %^*& WATP.

 

[OsoDeMadrid]

Another liability

Hi. Kindly take a good fuck to yourself.
Only one liability on the park tonight.
Ref.
Thanks.

 

[BigDGrant]

Yeah 100% that ref was legit.......

 

[Barbarossa]

What a result

I love the rangers

 

[Vader]

Got to love the ref's token effort to appear unbiased in injury time. Cut off an Ufa goal cos they ain't gonna score 2 anyway, then blow up at 3:23 instead of 4:00.

I want the most glamorous group possible tomorrow.

Yip, he did.
Don’t get used to it though.

 

[Amigo5]

as big jock said … character

 

[Foolback]

"Zenit St Petersburg boss Sergei Semak says FC Ufa can crush Rangers' Europa League dream"

Then he woke up. They could not do it even against 9 men and a offside goal.

 

[allygaitken]

I retired to my hot tub for the last 10 mins - with a couple of beers! couldn't watch it anymore! I would like to just say - YAAAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!

 

[Marlo Stanfield]

Proud of the team. No surrender lads

 

[GraemeG]

Phenomenal

 

[JungleFighter]

Phsyically shaken but what a proud moment to be a Rangers fan! Odds stacked against us but we dug in and showed our worth and earned our place in europe the hard way. No ****ing surrender.

 

[tazzabear]

The cry was No Surrender

As in that was like the siege of Derry?

 

[Swiss]

genuinely couldn't stop shaking for the whole of the second half and nearly passed out at full time most draining game I can remember the players were absolute warriors. Beat the scum on sunday and the lads couldn't of earned the rest anymore. Get in absolutely buzzing

 

[abz_bear]

So f.u.c.king proud of that team - dunno if it was just relief or being sleep deprived due to work but had a tear or two in my eye at FT!

Ref was an utter cnut.

 

[dreamtheater]

Can't wait to read through all the dramatic events on BBC Stolelands webpage.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Dunno the guy's name on RTV but he's right.

Something huge is happening here.

The last thirty minutes were torture, could do nothing but sit and watch, heroes, the lot of them.

 

[Fogg]

Outstanding back to the wall performance.
The 9 at the end were warriors, and flannigan had some key blocks before being sent off

Unbelievable achievement to get through tonight.

Still unbeaten as well

Ecstatic at that tonight

 

[GoramsGratefulGrasp]

Some team we're building here, fantastic effort!

 

[Damski]

Stevie G at the end with Andy Halliday in a headlock with this absolute cheeser of a grin. Amazing!

 

[clashcityrocker]

Had to switch off in the second half and follow the game on this crazy time travelling thread.

Nerves are shot but by god we are a different proposition this season.

Bring on the groups.

I had to switch off after Flanagan went, felt like I was a jinx as we were 1 up before I got on, went to 1-1, 9 men. That was it for me - and it seems to have worked a treat!

 

[The Hooded Claw]

9 men had a dream.....

 

[thornhill bear]

Will our chartered airline now get its act together

 

[TommyV]

F.u.cking get itup those cheating c.unts

 

[yosser hughes]

f@ckin hell I'm still a bag of nerves, I thought getting older I would mellow out a bit in situations like this,,but I think I kicked and headed every ball that came in to our box in the second half,,,well done bears,, this team is full of heart and I am delighted for that

 

[Graemelins]

We are back where we belong bears!
When the whistle went I was all like

 

[BlueHaze]

Alls well that ends well,Football can really shred the nerves at times and that game was one of them.

 

[tazzabear]

I see all the mentally challengeds on the thread have fucked right off.
Hahaha haha.
And hahaha.
Oh. And jaja ja. Spanish style.

I hope the one at the game has a troubled time getting home.

 

[OsoDeMadrid]

Sadly, I agree with every word here.
If Gerrard sticks by him, he’d better deliver and the poster you replied to would be correct.
Morelos owes the players on the park, big, big time.

Thanks. Alfredo owes no one, fuck all.
I'd say you owe him a fair amount.
What have you done to thank him.

The attempts to belittle out prized assets for doing absolutely nothing wrong today are pathetic.
You! Are fucking pathetic. And I've no fucking doubt you vote SNP or Labour.

 

[SpongebobSquarePass]

That was the longest 45 minutes since werder Bremen

 

[Chager]

Oh my God! What a team and staff we have.
Straight to the airport and come home. There's even more work to be done. You have done us proud against all the odds.
Magic.

Blew up 30 secs early too.

 

[Gazzasflute10]

What a fucking result. Everyone of them amazing. No fucking surrender!!!!!

 

[.k.k.]

Is the draw tomorrow?

 

[tazzabear]

Outstanding back to the wall performance.
The 9 at the end were warriors, and flannigan had some key blocks before being sent off

Unbelievable achievement to get through tonight.

Still unbeaten as well

Ecstatic at that tonight

And still yet to be behind.

 

[Abercrombie]

What an outstanding effort from our men. Immense.

 

[RuchazieBlue]

Fantastic result. Need a good group. There was No Surrender and WATP

 

[jnloyal]

Outstanding result. What a performance when we are down to nine. Flanagan was never a d find yellow in a million years though. No idea what the referee was thinking. The travelling bears enjoy your trip you are an absolute credit as well.

WATP.

 

[weetam3106]

Deep sense of pride and happiness tonight. NINE men into Europe!! Don’t care what happens Sunday (apart from another Pedro/ murty style doing). This is a massive stride forward for our club. The rattlers can wait.
