You want Rangers to lose in Europe and Celtic to progress. Your mindset is alien to me. Thankfully nobody inside the club thinks along your lines.Aye no bother big time Charlie
I’m realistic about where we’ve been and where we are. I’ll take the league this season and be ecstatic with that thanks very much.
This.I’d prefer we beat Braga and they lost to Copenhagen. Keeps our momentum going and hopefully harms theirs. Yes it will cause a backlog of fixtures but if we have momentum and they don’t it hopefully won’t matter
That would be mental.I’d be happy to concentrate on the league, although I keep thinking about the possibility of us drawing the legions of scum in the next round - and 3 games against them in a row !!
What about knocking them out in the last sixteen on the Thursday before beating them to go top on the Sunday?
That sounds much better
I think this is on the money i would love to qualify but there is a positiveIt would be a slight advantage imo.
Obviously want us to progress in the Europa however If we were to go out to Braga and they qualified I could see the positive side of it.
Maybe I'm not being realistic but i wouldn't discount us not winning the whole dam shooting match. There isn't many teams that will fancy playing us.Let’s face we are not going to win the Europa, while I want the Bears to win every game they play I wouldn’t be gutted if we lose to Braga, as the OP said, might give us a wee edge in the title.
Yeah but Man Utd only chance of CL is Europa saying that I wouldn't fear them at the momentWinning Europa League gets you straight into UCL.
Your local team hold no fear for me either.Yeah but Man Utd only chance of CL is Europa saying that I wouldn't fear them at the moment
My thoughts exactly - the gaffer loves European football and that will likely mean just as much as the league.The gaffer will be setting the team up to win all games. He won't rest players for Europe.
If we need to play them might as well beat them.
That is a lovely proposition.I’d be happy to concentrate on the league, although I keep thinking about the possibility of us drawing the legions of scum in the next round - and 3 games against them in a row !!
I agree.League is the priority
everything else is a sideshow
I said this a few weeks ago and pointed out that we've beaten equal, or better than, any teams we beat in the run to the final. I'd argue Porto is harder than any teams we beat then and I'm not sure we had much trouble there.We are playing far better football in Europe than we did when we reached the final mate, anything can happen.
I’m going to be honest and say that I really don’t care about Europe. We need to win the league. I’m not unhappy for us to go out next round and them going on is a plus for us.
for me, European football after Xmas is a luxury and not a necessity.
Dave King said as much when asked about possibly selling Alfie.. He said we don’t want money in the bank we want the league title..I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re thinking is along the same lines of being in or out of Europe.I’m going to be honest and say that I really don’t care about Europe. We need to win the league. I’m not unhappy for us to go out next round and them going on is a plus for us.

Porto were amongst the 3 favourites to win and we took care of them over the 2 games v them.Let’s face we are not going to win the Europa, while I want the Bears to win every game they play I wouldn’t be gutted if we lose to Braga, as the OP said, might give us a wee edge in the title.
I wouldn’t rule out anything in Europe with this team. Best European record of my lifetime.
If we win this game, we’re in the last 16 and it’s anybody’s from there on in.
100 % agree, we need the League title this year, another tie in Europe could work against usI’m going to be honest and say that I really don’t care about Europe. We need to win the league. I’m not unhappy for us to go out next round and them going on is a plus for us.

That sounds f.ucking fantastic!What about knocking them out in the last sixteen on the Thursday before beating them to go top on the Sunday?
