Match Thread Rangers v Villarreal - 20:00 Thursday - Bt Sports

[Willger]

Great dogged performance.

 

[Boyinblue]

Fkin magic bring on vienna ill be there

 

[AnglianBear]

Warriors every single one. A fantastic result given the circumstances.

Beat Rapid and we're through. More than capable.

We almost nick it at the end as well!

 

[bilkobear]

Wow.
That was a fckn tremendous display of resilience from Rangers.
Just fckn WOW!

 

[Scarlett]

I'll take it!!

Meeeee tooooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[Kirbys House]

Needed a win

Winning 1 out of 3 home games isn't good enough. Left us with a very tough task and the game in Vienna will be the hardest of the group

But under the circumstances it was a decent result and leaves us with a chance

A decent result

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Fantastic result given the circumstances. Mcgregor superb, Jack and Arfield had great games. Struggling to make a case for Flanagan, which is pretty much what we thought before the match.

 

[RFC97]

At the final whistle I realized my arse was quivering, literally

 

[Calico Jack]

It's all go still.


We win and we are through.

 

[FifeBear]

Great point, still in our hands albeit a tough one.

 

[Daz1690]

Rangers fans are the real winners tonight, tremendous.

 

[imvaison]

Well done to our players.
Very difficult to be a man down for a full half against a good team.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Well done Gers

 

[Jorgthegreat]

Great point given the circumstances. Shoot out in vienna

 

[gkd88]

You could've went and got the crowd up.

I live in a different country. I’d love to have been there champ

 

[Widdenheed]

That's a phenomenal effort. Backs to the wall performances like that can galvanise a full season

 

[Subway Bear]

Outstanding performance, review individually tomorrow. As a team that was fucking brilliant and we could have nicked it.

 

[W*A*T*P]

That ref was the worst yet

 

[Bear72]

Well done Rangers. A draw after playing with 10 men for half is no bad result.
We're still in this

 

[Britvic55]

Good point Rangers, thought you were magnificent in the last 10 - 15 mins in particular.

We're still in it. Win against Rapid Vienna and we're through.

 

[Teddyjohn]

Needed a win

Winning 1 out of 3 home games isn't good enough. Left us with a very tough task and the game in Vienna will be the hardest of the group

But under the circumstances it was a decent result and leaves us with a chance

We’re unbeaten in three home games and we’ve just held a La Liga club despite us being down to ten men for 50 minutes. Tonight was a very good result for us.

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

Great result given the circumstances. Referee is a cheating bastard.

We need to win in Vienna to go through yes? A draw is no good

 

[JayDee]

A great point. Well done Rangers.

 

[JD1872]

We will go to Austria and win

Really brave performance by the team tonight, could even have sneaked the win

 

[bilkobear]

Sure I’ll be fine later, fu cking raging at the moment. Game ruined

Yes, the first half was a great game of football, and the match was ruined by a fckn retard of a referee.

 

[Rodney Wallace]

Really proud of the effort put in, that was some amount of dig shown.

Into the last game with it still on our hands.

We can do this.

 

[thomsonstackle]

Gerrard has helped shape us into a team of warriors. I’m so proud of them tonight.

 

[madmac1959]

Heroes.

 

[DocStone]

A man down thanks to the ref even when Candeias was still on the park tbh. Bent ref is obvious.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Needed a win

Winning 1 out of 3 home games isn't good enough. Left us with a very tough task and the game in Vienna will be the hardest of the group

But under the circumstances it was a decent result and leaves us with a chance

Don't think we needed a win it just means it's all to play for in the last round

 

[kbotw]

We’ve just drawn twice with the team that finished 5th in arguably the best league in the world last season.

Arguably we could have won both games, however I’d have taken it before the match tonight

 

[Polar bear]

Behave yourself Jesus Christ

Exactly.

 

[Butterbean]

Ugly but a brilliant result. Well done Rangers. Bring on the Austrians

 

[Ambiorix]

Another backs to the wall performance. Proud of the players that we managed to get something out of it.

 

[thetoptier]

can't believe we took more points from villareal than that shite russian side

superb after lafferty came on an unbelievable point in the circumstances

 

[allyballyalbertz]

Loved Middletons foul at the end there. Girfuy.
Proud of them, our passing and possession was dire, but we could have scored 3 or 4, we defended brilliantly when it came down to it, (they didn't score) and the sending off made all the difference for villareal.

Fortunately for Gerrard we'll never know if subbing earlier would have made a difference. Thankfully we survived.

 

[Ubik]

coulibaly doesnt do it for me, i think he should be benched.. he offers virtually nothing.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Fantastic gutsy effort. Shagger was phenomenal. I’ve been following Rangers for 32 years and can’t remember a season where we’ve had so many outrageous refereeing decisions against us. We did great to get a point from that.

 

[Hank]

And the train keeps rolling!

 

[Donsky]

Villarreal will go all out to beat Spartak now, not just to qualify but to avoid big teams by finishing 1st.

 

[The Predator]

One of worst officials I've ever seen. All over the place. Prime candidate for a job with the SFA.

Him aside and given the circumstances, a tremendous result. All we need to do now is beat Rapid again. In some sort of way it's clear for us. Hopefully rapid go cautious and sit on due to only needing a draw.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Ref fùcked us. Given the circumstances the players should be commended.

Can't grumble with that result, feels like a win, cheating refs as per usual costing us the chance to win games.

Win in Austria and we're through, We can do this Rangers!

I’d have taken that before a ball was kicked Jac.

 

[Recoba]

Very proud, well done

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

One fuck-up is understandable, two or three is suspicious, half a dozen, all against the same team? That is Scottish refereeing level - a new standard in cheating / incompetence.

 

[loyalblueman]

Some performance, some support, some result considering.
Breath taking ending.
WATP
Roll on Austria

 

[Deleted member 125]

Let’s be honest, Villarreal are dugshît.

What?

Are you on the wrong forum pal?

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Macgregor, Arfield and Jack were superb

Flanagan and Coulibally were woeful

 

[Foolback]

Great result considering. We could have won that with a full team. Will Borno be back for Vienna?

 

[WearsideGallantFew]

Needed a win

Winning 1 out of 3 home games isn't good enough. Left us with a very tough task and the game in Vienna will be the hardest of the group

But under the circumstances it was a decent result and leaves us with a chance

I agree.

 

[Nerf Herder]

Cheated AGAIN

Heroes to a man AGAIN

 

[RAFBob]

The atmosphere, the unity on the pitch and some warrior performances! Brilliant from everyone inside Ibrox tonight, with exception of the referee and his team, they were bastards!

 

[jexx]

It's a long while (well at least a couple o' weeks) since I've seen as bad a ref as that! Honkin'

 

[Chris01]

Another Draw bonus bears!!!
