How long until they go full North Korea on us, and start printing false match reports with us losing every game?
In all honesty, first 10 -15 mins, it was tight and they obviously had a few chances, Mcgregor making excellent saves. At the same time though, we had a few ourself, from the wings and long balls in behind.Could have gone*
They had chances before half time, but you can't describe a 0-4 win as having been a tight game.
That's because, like the daily record , half of the posters on the match don't have a fucking clueHalf the match day thread were saying it at half time tbf
Seriously
The match day thread really is an astonishing place though, it brings out the very worst of FF!Half the match day thread were saying it at half time tbf
Seriously
Mate, I agree with the scoreline flattering us a bit, but the rest of what you say is nonsense. It's a football match, other teams will have chances and create. We also missed chances - Kent a d Hagi in the sitter category. We will come unstuck against better teams (because they're better) but as far as Europe goes Gerrard's teams perform as well as any Rangers side, if not better. Have a look at the EL teams last night. Ours was the best away result of the night. Even Spurs struggled against a mob I'd new heard of.Ok tin hat on, I thought the scoreline flattered us , it couldve went any way in the first twenty minutes, they missed an absolute sitter, our midfield was missing, (for most of the match), we were outplayed the first half and our habit of overplaying and negative play was evident, Second half we improved probably because of the scoreline, but the midfield selection is a real problem which will bite us on the arse when we face better teams
But let me guess it was a dominant performance by Cheltic after their 90th minute winner
Celtic manager Neil Lennon praised his side for a "dominant" display as they edged past Riga FC to reach the Europa League play-off round.
Only hope that plenty of mentally challengeds departed with their hand-outs betting on Willem ll.25 minutes in and the mentally challengeds aplenty that hammered into Willem II at 5/2 definitely didn’t think it could go either way.
They knew their cash was heading down the tubes.
Glorious.
I don't believe youHalf the match day thread were saying it at half time tbf
Seriously
They actually have dominant and edged in the same sentence that is sub human levels of intelligenceFrom the BBC
No, that's because it was correct. Argue with the manager if you disagree.That's because, like the daily record , half of the posters on the match don't have a fucking clue
Oh, they sure did.Only hope that plenty of mentally challengeds departed with their hand-outs betting on Willem ll.
Had to laugh at Lennon last night, " team should be proud as this team have never lost a European game at home" Riga were only formed in 2015 and played 6 yes 6 European games at home since 2018 and most of them against teams like Dundalk and another from the Faroes and mostly in the Europa league qualifiers.
He also didn't say that the game could have went either wayShould have been behind before we scored and then Mcgregor makes a terrific save as well to keep it 2-0. 2nd half much bettwr but Gerrard even said himself in his RTV interview it wasn't a 4-0 kind of game.
No, that's because it was correct. Argue with the manager if you disagree.
Typical from the rebel - mentally challengeds struggle to beat a team from one of the poorest countries in Europe yet are lauded. We beat a decent Eredivisie side convincingly on their own patch yet it gets sh@t upon.0 -4 guys, Scottish press should be shouting our names loud and proud but we no longer live in that world.
All correct, of course, but you will be waiting a long time for any acknowledgement of the facts in the gutter press.Lets be honest that assessment is pretty accurate. That could've easily ended 5-5, bar some horrendous finishing from Willem and some great saves from McGregor.
We need to defend better next week than we did tonight.
However the Scottish Media should not be focusing on that negative they should be focusing on a resounding win and Rangers coming through a tough tie, they should be full of praise for how clinical we were and how amazing McGregor is. Full of praise for Kent.
Plus we are now as a nation 12th in the coefficient table, pretty certain that is 15 places higher than we were as a nation when we returned to the SPL.
The sfa would charge you for saying thatIf Willem had won 4-0, would they also have been saying the game “could have gone either way”?
I wonder, I wonder...
It was a weird game. Not sure 4-0 is especially reflective of the performance, but it does highlight how amazing it is when you take your chances.
We've not been used to that these past few seasons.
