Legia Warsaw Forum

[orjan_persson]

Translator is brilliant. I still have no idea what this is about....

The Danes had one quite overwhelmed player, what he apologized with a spelling mistake on his shirt and was also well tanned, besides, the level of our exclaim.​

​

Scots have the potential to attack, but slightly more pressed lost in the defense tragically, and in total the enemy did them well.​

Of course, we do not have this double-clad "in our pocket" but if we do not go out in a pile, we have a very good chance and any announcement of the disaster is premature, moreover for both sides. It will be a very hard match.​

I will not copy horses, because I will lose, I try not to argue with idiots, because they bring discussion to my level, I try not to respond to arguments ad personam, see previous points - and only a cow does not change her mind ..​

 

[nelster]

Opening betting shows for next week have

Legia 7/5
Rangers 7/4

Just for 1st leg.

Think we were 11/5 away to Midtjylland

 

[Arkanoid]

From the outside those odds have draw written all over it! Any Ibrox win that gets you through will do for me every day of the week

 

[Kirbys House]

They're slight favourites with the bookies (for next week, can't find qualification odds yet)

"It will be very hard, Rangers are not cucumbers. We need two matches similar to Spartak."

What a translation that is.

I suppose it’s a word they will use but not a direct translation

Maybe akin to the old slur for disabled people being vegetables

 

[thornhill bear]

What’s the significance of the cucumber?

I think she has done that sort of thing before

 

[cammyranger]

Bare in mind, Legia struggled by a team from Finland in Q2. In Greece, the standard outside the big 4 is pish and a 2-0 aggregate win isn’t all that impressive. Hibs put out Asteras from Greece last season, who I would imagine are on a par with Atromitos.

Don’t want to carried away by any means, but certainly feel quietly confident we can do this.

 

[Gazman_Airdrie]

They haven't conceded a single goal in these qualifiers to be fair.

Midtjylland had conceeded once before facing us in 4 league games then we took 4 off them and have won all 5 opening league matches.

Legia lost their opening league game 2-1 at home and sit 10th after 3 games (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss).

I fancy we will beat them home and away.

 

[buc11]

I haven't had this much trust in a Rangers side since one of Walter's teams.

Feels like things are getting back to normal now, so I'm pretty relaxed about this tie. There will be %^*& ups but we'll take care of this like we did in Denmark.

That goes for Celtic in a few weeks also.

Here's hoping bud.

 

[AndythephotoDr]

One thing for sure, there will be teams all over Europe seeing Rangers in a very different light. We will be a team that many won’t fancy playing.

 

[Ponientebear]

Just googled it, he plays for Southampton.

The Legia fans seem to think it's 2009.

I’m sure he plays for Bournemouth

 

[JW1988]

I don't think the atmosphere over there will affect our players one bit, and even if atmospheres do play a part I think ours will be more hostile than theirs, especially if we need a win in the 2nd leg.

You’re kidding yourself on with the last part mate.
If you genuinely think Ibrox will be more intimidating than Warsaw have a look on YouTube

 

[Superrangers]

Precisely, I don’t see any ‘text 65808 to dob your fellow fans in’ messages there.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

When this tournament started we’d have bitten the proverbial hand off for a 2 legged tie v Legia to make the group stage. Just do it Rangers

I remember people thinking we wouldn't have gotten as lucky as last season. In terms of who we've drawn it's at most equal to last year, just have to get the job done

Theres some phenomenal logic in this man's outlook.

 

[speedie]

Fancy us to win home and away comfortably if im honest, from the few games and results I’ve seen, they look bang average

 

[standardbarger]

They haven't played us yet though

If players get intimidated by banners and pyro then theirs will be more intimidating.

If it's noise that intimidates players then I would like to think that, given we will have 20000 more fans than them at their home game, we could do better.

20000 more doesn’t mean more noise though mate. Depends on the ferocity of the support

Yep and all too often Ibrox is silent.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

"Another such black robotic player is experienced 34-year-old Steven Davis."

Interesting take.

 

[blueman14]

Another one from their forum.

I watched the Rangers' match with the Danes out of curiosity.Let's not exaggerate and make scots football gods. They are at Legia level and easily defeated. Their defense is as busy as a car full of coal. After all, such parodists as their side defenders are hard to see even in our Ekstraklasa.

 

[Cutty/Young]

Hopefully the scumbags who are intent on following them abroad causing havoc decide to stay away or are kettled by the cops, I would be concerned more for our own fans over in Poland given their reputation and people being picked off by them or attacked in pubs.

 

[Wugs]

"It will be very hard, Rangers are not cucumbers. We need two matches similar to Spartak."

What a translation that is.

"My hovercraft is full of eels"

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

"My hovercraft is full of eels"

Ah the old English-Hungarian phrase book sketch. Nowadays it would be an app

 

[TPP]

Misleading, Legia win game in hand they are 3rd after on 4 games played. They expect to have a go at winning the league people need to chill a bit

 

[tottie beck]

Some howlers in that translation

if we do not go out in big pants then we have a very good chance

Expect to see them in 80s style shorts then

Their defense is as busy as a car full of coal.

I take it they dont rate us defensively then

Joking aside, I think this guy nails it though...

In my opinion, the key element will be not losing the goal at home, which will hopefully expect a rematch.

PS. After what both teams have presented so far, one can conclude that the best offensive will face the best defensive.

I am very curious how and what will result from it.

This guy seems to sum up their general feeling

They impose a fast pace, play with the first ball and control it well. They fight all over the field. In order to fight them at all, we have to play much better than we are currently doing.

 

[Mark Walters]

Nor I.

Infact Rapid Vienna springs to mind.

I'd always heard of how they and the mentally challengeds despised each other from the 80s. Then the Austrians rock up at Ibrox with a banner which looks like its on loan from the Groin brigade.

Nor should they, they love their club and %^*& everybody else. Way it ought to be.

That's quite deluded to be fair, even though I think they'll be a hard game, our defence is far better than the vast majority of their league.

 

[Cowan_rfc]

I think we will scud them by about 3 or 4 in Poland. Id fancy Rangers against anyone just now, our midfield wins us games and we have Morelos in frightening form.

 

[tottie beck]

Rangers will score 2 goals in Warsaw.

I think an away goal for us could be crucial

Aye, because Warsaw have Colombian, English, Finnish, Northern Irish, Nigerian, Canadian, Croatian, Scottish (I know) internationals. We'll wipe the floor with them. It's good to see that some of their fans are underestimating us.

 

[Albertz89]

We will win both legs

 

[pelem]

GHER it fuuKIN up boric and his mhob. Go Krakow.

 

[Wishbone]

"My hovercraft is full of eels"

My nipples explode with delight

 

[SDR]

Looks like they have a pretty good idea of how to beat us !

 

[Bluechip]

Is that where the rotund toalie is now? Crossing himself didn’t work his last few visits to Ibrox, he had to pick the ball out the net a few times.

He was good at CROSS balls right enough.

 

[The_Irrepressibles]

Basically they are saying we are excellent going forward but have a shit defence .

Maybe a bit harsh on our back 4 , as individually they are all great players , apart from our LB area of course . It’s just that we leave ourselves open because we attack a lot

From what I can gather Legia are the opposite , brilliant defensively but shy in attack

Will be an interesting match up

Decent read that to be fair, the bits I could understand anyway.

But they're in for a rude awakening if they think our defence is weak. Our real problem is we've 'switched off' for a period in every match this season which has opened the door for the opposition. Otherwise we're pretty solid, especially through the centre.

Edit: just want to credit Goldson who gets a wee bit of stick on here at times. He seemed to be the only one of the starting 11 who didn't go to sleep after 60 mins last night.

If we play our normal high tempo game over there, we will score at least 2 goals. Our defence, however, does have the tendency to go to sleep, which should be a major concern.

I think its the midfield and full backs that are to blame to be fair rather then the CH's.

Voodoo no worries.

"Another such black robotic player is experienced 34-year-old Steven Davis."

Surely they mean the Kamarabot.

 

[greggakd]

Adult film stars deserve their names spelled correctly just as much as Alfredo Morales, Trevor Stevens and that Greek right back who played for us in the lower leagues.

very unstaunch of me, but i cant for the life of me think of a greek right back who played for us

We only beat Progres 2-0, I don't see us having much edge against them

Ibrox is vastly superior in massive European games, anybody that compares that are having a laugh. Either they were too young to remember the European nights under Advocaat's era or just after then like against Stuttgart or they're at it.

 

[RFC#1Scotty]

This guy seems to sum up their general feeling

As I stated, after seeing Atromitos Athens hit their crossbar and several chances to bury them, I've no fear with a Defoe and Alfredo prowling around their box.

 

[RFC#1Scotty]

Pish , if we are up against it you will hear it .

I cringe at the arse kissing, when Ibrox Stadium explodes and hits full voice, nah, there is no stadium in Europe even close to the noise of Ibrox. The young ones don't know it yet, because the last time we experienced that was early 2000s.

Our team somewhat went downhill, had some big European nights throughout mid 2000s to the period we went down, but cast your mind back to 2003 and what Henning Berg stated about the Ibrox atmosphere.
