Get to Auchenhowie for our players 5pm - they need us now more than ever

[ssblue]

Can someone please confirm arrival time so I know wether to leave or not?

Arrival time showing as 5.16.

I would expect them at Auchenhowie just before 6.

 

[Macky]

That’s what I was looking at too. I’m heading now. Will be early if required lol

We lost a European final on penalties. A final that a club with our resources had no right to reach.

And we done so with majority of the players deciding to put in one of their worst European performances this season.

To many 4s and 5s out of 10 last night.

Only bassey gets credit.

They didn’t decide to just %^*& it off mate, Frankfurt completely nullified our play with excellent tactics.

 

[dublinbluenose]

I would have thought the players would want to get straight home and rest up. Back training tomorrow to prepare for the final. Sunday is the time to show gratitude imho

Gio said they will be attending the funeral of Jimmy Bell tomorrow morning, train and prepare for the final in the afternoon.they probably went through a few things this morning before coming home

Against a good side that has knocked out Barcelona and West Ham. We never played at our best and I am as gutted as anyone else, the only reason I feel so down is because that set of players have had me walking on clouds the last few weeks.

Aye mate you’re right, the players went out and deliberately didn’t perform - bet they’re well chuffed today.

 

[Boabski Bluenose]

I can't make it today due to work but will defo head to Hampden on Saturday to show my support to the team. The last 2 weeks have been pretty much my best time as a rangers fan in around 45 years. I don't have a ticket for the game but want to show my support to the team. Anyone know when they'll arrive on Saturday?

 

[Baloo72]

No Surrender

 

[whitbyontbear]

I was at Renfrew airport to welcome them coming back from Russia as the first team to go there and return undefeated. I now live in Canada so you can call me an armchair fan and I am alergic to prawns so that would be a a misnomer.

I am not sure, from what I read on the MSM that the Glasgow polis would welcome a horde of fans turning for our return as it would give them an excuse to get wired in to please their political masters. So, ca' canny lads.

You can last 3 days without water.

Running out of things isn't great but suggesting you were medically dehydrated at 9 o'clock at night after a days worth of hydration is a bit over the top fella.

Ffs take a day off, were you there? If not keep your pompous views to yourself

 

[The Predator]

Aye mate you’re right, the players went out and deliberately didn’t perform - bet they’re well chuffed today.

At no stage have I said they deliberately played like that.

But let's not pretend they left it all out there last night.

Poor performances all around.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Team have just landed

The flight is currently over the English Channel mate, at 38,000 feet. See Flight Radar links up the page a bit.

 

[talkingsportsjacket]

We lost a European final on penalties. A final that a club with our resources had no right to reach.

and a club that did not lose one game ,including going to Barcelona and London.
Their squad market value totally engulfs ours.
We should be proud of each and everybody connected to this fine club.

 

[Godrup99]

They didn’t decide to just %^*& it off mate, Frankfurt completely nullified our play with excellent tactics.

It's almost like frankfurt are quite a good team with good players isn't it.

Players flight is on uk airspace now, the other planes just landed. I'm under the flight path!

 

[BrooklynBlue]

At no stage have I said they deliberately played like that.

Playing poorly does not equate to a lack of effort. The lack of squad quality ultimately showed - and yet, we were a whisker from winning.

 

[Whitburnbear]

Ahh

I just seen a titan airways land from Seville. Assumed it was the team.

Apologies bears

 

[AdiGaz]

I would love for our guys to get a heroes welcome arriving at the training ground.
They will all be feeling at their lowest and that’s where we (as we always do) step up. That’s our job.

They took us to a final that many of us never thought we would see again, and within a penalty kick of winning it.

It’s things like this that set us apart from the rest. We follow follow win, lose, or draw.


Edit: the team is being collected from the aircraft and taken straight to Auchenhowie. They should enter the training complex via the rear gates. Arriving at the airport 4:44pm so if we get to the training ground for 5pm we should be there in plenty of time.

A heros welcome for not being heros?

 

[The Predator]

Nonsense mate. We played like we have the ability to and have shown this year in Europe we are brushing that Frankfurt team aside.

 

[Godrup99]

Is anyone actually going?

 

[Portals_Bear_Blue]

Seen only 2 posts from you on this thread and already you’re already giving me a sore head. Wind it in fs!

Nonsense.

They had done their homework. We made changes on the fly to try to how we were playing.

 

[tscotsman]

Credit to the guys going to show the team that they have not let anyone down and they have our full support. We are one big family and we always stick together through the highs and the unbelievable lows.

Here‘s to a high on Saturday when we lift that cup, that will help (a bit!).

 

[Godrup99]

By the way, the attitude of some people on here fkn stinks. Get a a grip of yourselves and your emotions, we were a bad penalty away from immortality.

In essence, grow the fck up. We run out of energy eventually

 

[Just_Perfect & Warranted]

Gutted but ultimately not having a recognised striker harmed our chances.

There’s no getting away from that

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Nonsense mate. We played like we have the ability to and have shown this year in Europe we are brushing that Frankfurt team aside.

Those were exceptional performances - we've also had others like Braga (away), Prague + Brondby, not forgetting Malmo.

We started without a striker (again) and Scott Wright (no harm to him). Jack hasn't been fit for months and we're bringing on guys like Sakala.

 

[Steve]

Ffs take a day off, were you there? If not keep your pompous views to yourself

I couldn't afford to go like a lot of people.

My statement about hydration wasn't pompous it was factual.

Your original post came across as over the top. Your reaction to my post is a bit more of the same tbf, might just be the way you are.

 

[Bluebeard]

Any pics from outside the training ground currently? Bears there ?

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Agree.

It’s extremely hard to continue to peak so many times over a short period. We don’t have enough depth & resources to do it continually at that level.

Last night was sore, but we have way over achieved overall.

I pity people like you. These boys have been fucking tremendous these last 2 seasons and given us some incredible highs

 

[bilkobear]

To be honest mate, we were short of a center forward last night.
A fit Alfie and that cup would be sitting in our trophy room today.

Some of our ayers didn't perform at their top level. To say some of them didn't leave it all on the park is ludicrous from some posters, it's absolute nonsense and actually an insult.

Put any other team in any competition in a final with no strikers and see what happens

 

[Draper1872]

Nonsense mate. We played like we have the ability to and have shown this year in Europe we are brushing that Frankfurt team aside.

Brushing aside a team that went to the Nou Camp and scudded Barcelona? Haha. They put out teams from the 2 best leagues in the world.

Madness to think we would brush them aside

 

[Punpun]

Taking train to Milngavie now, hopefully a decent turnout

I was at renfrew airport that day with my brother and dad reckon 10,000 bears turned up that day,happy days

Yes Bilko. I actually think we wouldnt have lost in Braga & Leipzig too were he fit.

He is more important as the opposition gets tougher.

 

[The Predator]

We could and should have.

We won't get a better chance of securing another European trophy.

That team were more than beatable had our players been on it from the start.

 

[Chief Rafferty]

A kick of the ball from being legends!! A bloody swing of the boot!! After 2 hours of football in that heat it was decided by a cats whisker!! Those boys getting off the plane deserve handshakes and hugs!! By f**k they were close.... just go and lift the Scottish Cup now.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

I’m on a train to Lisbon but fully agree.

 

[sir_walter_smith]

When he got injured I feared for our season. We managed to get past Braga and Leipzig without him right enough but was only a matter of time before it bit us in the arse in Europe.

 

[muttley]

I think we're more than disappointed after beating better teams in Dortmund and Leipzig. I reckon playing too many games caught up with us last night. A 2nd Rangers goal would have finished Frankfurt. However, too many times, even here in Scotland, we've messed up after being in front.

 

[whitbyontbear]

I was at renfrew airport that day with my brother and dad reckon 10,000 bears turned up that day,happy days

Aye they were.We didn't realize then how good we had it.

 

[Treble Kings]

Would be great to see.
We have too many glory hunters though, that are onky interested when we win.

And that's why 50,000 turned up at Ibrox when we were in the Third Division, because we were winning everything in sight...

 

[brain]

Someone take some photos/videos and post them on here.

 

[Edinburgh Blue]

Yes and we needed them last night which didn't happen.

Swings both ways.

Congratulations on winning the worst post of the year award 7 months early as there will be no contenders.

 

[Bluebeard]

Someone take some photos/videos and post them on here.

I hope there’s a few hundred at least. Players need to see it

I urge any local milngavie bears to head there now. Show we are behind them for Saturday

 

[Gers55]

Just parked at the tennis club and there's a few bears already heading in the direction of the training centre.

[adastra]

Thank you to each and everyone of them. They let us dream for a few weeks and gave us a memorable day(s) out at a European final.

I’m gutted as the next Bear and shattered from the 12km round trip hike from the buses but I loved the whole Seville build up and trip. We are back on the big stage and after doing the Brechin et all, I for one thank every player and every staff member who dragged us here.
