Fireworks set off outside Rangers hotel

[Sebrof61]

Was told last night by some friends who support PSV that the Willem11 ultras were planning to let fireworks off outside the Pullman hotel where rangers are staying ,
Just gone 3am here in Eindhoven and we have been wakened-by a 8 minute burst of fireworks

 

[Cali_bear]

I would assume that this is the norm for most away teams in Europe, I don’t agree with it but it happens more often that not I would imagine.

 

[kilbirnie bear]

Saw a few videos of their Ultras in Luxembourg last week setting off flares and fireworks

 

[tangledupinblue]

Earplugs are a must . Always helped me out wether trying to sleep after nightshift, cabined up offshore with a mad snorer, staying in digs above a pub or in Blackpool prior to Manchester 2008 with Bears everywhere till the early hours.

 

[Desert Loyal]

Shitting it

 

[Blueblood86]

Fannies! We have Obviously caught they're attention ,I'm confident it's them that will be going out with a bang tonight also ...
Hope the fireworks were red white and blue .
WATP

 

[Arkanoid]

Be a problem if it was an 8am kick off.
I'm sure our professional athletes will be just fine!

 

[lowerhuttloyal]

Rangers will leave it to game to bring the fireworks.

 

[Arranger]

That’s nice , celebrating the Famous being in town

 

[Solomon's Temple]

Some additional motivation.

 

[cooprfc]

You would imagine we do some light training this morning and then get a sleep in the afternoon anyway.

Natural human sleeping rhythms are actually at their best with two four-hour bouts of sleep on either side of about half an hour of being awake in the middle of the night, rather than just sleeping eight or so hours straight through - historically almost all human cultures did this until about the 1800s. So a wee bit of wakefulness around 3am probably helped the players have a better night’s sleep overall, thank you Dutch ultras, very thoughtful

 

[Deleted Account]

I remember sides doing this when the all conquering Liverpool sides of the early 80s where in town on European business.

A sign of where we've improved I'd suggest

 

[Balogun1]

Hope we stick it to these little pricks tonight.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

So now we should be pissed off and angry. Good.

Intae them.

Only found that interesting fact out recently when I read “The Second Sleep” by Robert Harris. Not his best btw.

Mental

 

[rangersno.1]

bunch of fûckin gimps

 

[dunn1872]

Looking at the video of their ultras last week, they looked like a bunch of bangers so it's fitting.

 

[In Walter We Trust]

Weirdos

 

[BillStruthsBudgie]

Definitely got them worried then. Without wishing to be too negative though, if we suffer an early exit tonight, it would allow us to concentrate solely on the League. Personally, I would far prefer to stop the Bheggars desperate attempt at their tainted holy grail than to win the Europa this year. Tin hat on.

 

[brain]

They’ll be exhausted watching their team get pumped tonight then

 

[siegeheroes13]

Wait until @ahalfallover gets there, he's the biggest banger they'll ever meet.

 

[RabSpackman]

Proper European football!!

 

[CoopBlue]

Hopefully we get a rocket up our arse after our shambolic performance on Sunday!!!

Financially EL is very, very important to us, especially in the current climate.

I hope they were socially distanced and remembered to rule of 6.

So we stopped it in the 1800's?

Makes sense

 

[Wazza]

Just for Facebook really and to impress their Antwerp pals.

when at work i sleep 4 x 2-3 hour windows a day but when I'm home I go into a 6-7 hr sleep pattern ,have done this for 35 yrs im sure our players will be fine

Yes, true. Maybe my judgement is getting a wee bit clouded, but I blame this on the sustained bombardment we are currently enduring from all angles - referees, media, SPFL, etc etc. Siege mentality starting to take over!

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

And we'll be doing cartwheels tonight.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Mad bastards. We're in trouble.

 

[Jack Burton]

Gerrard will need to change the game plan after the big bad fireworks.

 

[aghalee_hero]

I'm sure the players can have a lie in if it upset them too much.

 

[Jack Burton]

Just for Facebook really and to impress their Antwerp pals.

Hoping it goes on an ultra page on Instagram, bit like the Green Brigade.

[giogaddi]

Oh, they're so hard.

Old school shenanigans

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

Haha. A classic.

Doing all they can to help their team out. Don't have a problem with it personally.

This is a regular thing now before European games aswell. I'm sure we'll have been prepared.

Pair of thick earplugs out of Boots. Sorted.

Oh dear that’s terrible news,

[RangersEasyOK]

Sad bastards

 

[westenclosurebear]

Pure rockets man, intae them Rangers.

[Gazzabear v2.0]

Doing it correctly, they would have set off the fire alarms and had the hotel evacuated, not just set of a few fireworks. Amateurs

 

[coplandrearl36]

Wait to see what we’ve got planned for the return leg.

 

[Tommyhlrsc]

Wait until @ahalfallover gets there, he's the biggest banger they'll ever meet.

In the nicest possible way...

 

[IrnSou]

If Katic was fit he’d header them right back at them.

A man of vast experience I see haha
