It wasn’t quiet during the day where i was mate. The game i dont think we were either. We were just not as loud as hydrated, looked after and well organised frankfurtIt wasn’t just the tv. We were quiet all night. In fact, all day.

Bollocks. Alameda De Hercules was bouncing all day.It wasn’t just the tv. We were quiet all night. In fact, all day.
Mental that I took 2 trains, a plane and then drove for 7hrs to get to a game which cost me a fortune.
Got there and in 35 degree heat ended up drinking Spanish water out a tap in the toilets.
Now I'm getting pelters from folk on an internet forum who 'couldn't hear out support on the tele'.
Couldn't make that up man honestly.
For what it's worth the Frankfurt fans were louder than we were and they were more organised. Their team also performed better on the night which helps.
The noise when we scored was unlike anything I've ever heard.
As for staying behind... We just lost on penalties, needed to get transport and more importantly some water.
Cry me a river about staying behind to clap the players honestly.
CorrectBollocks. Alameda De Hercules was bouncing all day.
Please stop talking shit, you are boringAs an 'armchair fan' for this game I criticised the atmosphere and a fair few have taken serious offence.
Given this is the Bear Pit, that criticism was extremely mild compared to the criticisms the team and fans get on a twice-weekly basis throughout the season.
From what I've read over the past couple of days there were obviously issues that affected the fans in the stadium but I hope that the 'righteously angry' reflect that players suffer from various issues affecting performance throughout their careers and fans have very little understanding or patience if they don't deliver.
It just seemed that, on the night, for whatever reasons, Eintracht fans gave their team better backing than we did - which seemed inconceivable before the game.
Whit?It wasn’t just the tv. We were quiet all night. In fact, all day.
They had run out of water before the game even kicked off. At half time the toilets were absolutely rammed with people having to drink from sinks.
I stayed to see the players get their medals but, will not judge anyone for leaving.
Im 35 and my son is 3 but if i was there with my son, the way some around me were, id have taken a lifting to get him water.They switched the tap water off in our section just after half time as well. People were going mental at the Spanish robocops who just shrugged or shoved people away.

Uefa simply dont give a %^*&. At least they aren’t critical of us leaving though so every cloudYep, me too. It's like the Polis were deliberately antagonising people.
Unless I missed itTbh mate I don’t know why guys like yourself are trying to justify these things , to people who weren’t there or in that situation .
i was in f42. In theory, those in the rangers end were the regular match goers. There wasn’t much more noise coming from there than there was from the neutral (rangers 99%) zone.I think we were in the same row in N42. Patched my seat and just stood near the barrier at the concourse exit further down to avoid injuring myself or anyone else falling arse over tit. Sang my chops off the full game but we just never seemed to get going in the stands. Had plenty around me were trying but didn't know the songbook.
We'll never know, but the Ibrox atmosphere carried us over the line against Braga and Leipzig - can only wonder what a smaller allocation of the hardcore would have done to see out the game after Aribo's goal...
Was there in the afternoon and thought it was great.Bollocks. Alameda De Hercules was bouncing all day.
Ive lost count of the number of times on here ive been called ‘not a real rangers fan’. Yet this has definitely got to be the most wild take on it all. Leaving devastated in search of water and 5 hours sleep. This is a wild place.
Exactly. I stood in tears with my dad and best mate when aribo scored. Nobody is taking that away from me when i left after pens.The comforting thing for me is what they will say to their grandkids when they ask them about the 2022 final in Seville.
“Nah son, didn’t go myself, watched it on BT Sport. Did a lot of moaning about it on the internet though”.
I'm the same as you, I was desperate for water, that and finding my bus so I wasn't stranded with just the clothes on my backIve lost count of the number of times on here ive been called ‘not a real rangers fan’. Yet this has definitely got to be the most wild take on it all. Leaving devastated in search of water and 5 hours sleep. This is a wild place.
It was mate. Everyone singing along. Beachballs and even a few footballs being punted about. Atmosphere was first class, everyone just having a brilliant time.Was there in the afternoon and thought it was great.
I walked past the buses and felt instant empathy for those that had to get on them. That was my first thought. I had a 40 min walk and a 5 hour sleep. That trip cost me hundreds and i was away from my young kids for 3 days. Nobody will guilt me for leaving to make sure i got home, slept and made my flightI'm the same as you, I was desperate for water, that and finding my bus so I wasn't stranded with just the clothes on my back
I struggled through the game, my voice was practically gone when I got in and could barely speak, I didn't drink out the taps for fear of making myself ill but I must have stood and poured litres upon litres over my head trying to cool down, unless you were in the stadium nobody really knows what most of us were going through, it was absolutely horrendous, can't even begin to imagine how the older bears and those with young kids were feeling, genuinely hope no fans from any team ever have to put up with what we did.I walked past the buses and felt instant empathy for those that had to get on them.

Correct. I had 2 mouthfuls out the tap and was, after travelling all day on Thursday, in work at 0645 today. By 0720 id been to the toilet twice. Thats on me though because i left after pens.

No not in mygers ,but have had a season ticket for years.T
Then you cant be in mygers then. If you go to all the games over the last few years you got a ticket for the final. I take tickets for every home game all the shite friendlies and Scottish cup and league cup early rounds and got a ticket for the semi v Celtic, the europa league final and tomorrows final.
It’s almost like we have known this for 2 years mate…No not in mygers ,but have had a season ticket for years.
Paid for a season ticket with no football , but anyway ,so its Mygers or bust.
I don't care what anyone has to say about us, heat affects everyone in different ways and for some us after 4hrs in there the feeling of needing water to stay alive was very much realCorrect. I had 2 mouthfuls out the tap and was, after travelling all day on Thursday, in work at 0645 today. By 0720 id been to the toilet twice. Thats on me though because i left after pens. Apparently.
Sorry but my mate and i were not totally aware of this ,and we go every week on our supporters bus.It’s almost like we have known this for 2 years mate…
We’ve already established you’re an arsehole I’d do the right thing and keep quietIt wasn't an apology.
Just cause you think something doesn’t mean you need to start a thread about itAs an 'armchair fan' for this game I criticised the atmosphere and a fair few have taken serious offence.

Exactly mate I had no drink at all for about 4-5 hours. Too many pricks judging the fans that spent thousands getting there.Easy to criticise from the couch. No ladies front bottom sat at home can criticise the support who spent a fortune then had to sit through 4 hours in 30c without water or any drinks
Time stands still for no man unfortunately!Sorry but my mate and i were not totally aware of this ,and we go every week on our supporters bus.
Must be getting auld.
exactly how i saw it. Didn’t see anyone leave before the players come across the pitch.Is everybody aware the players lapped the Rangers fans applauding them after the full time whistle and before the medal ceremony ? That was my reasoning for heading out for water , we’d already thanked them for their efforts
Edit
Maybe the adverts were on the tv coverage when that was going on
That’s 100% what happened mateexactly how i saw it. Didn’t see anyone leave before the players come across the pitch.
The majority of folk were leaving or had left just as they were completing the stand for the trophy ceremony
This was the main problem , the logistics for getting back to airports from that stadium were horrendous.Lots of day trip fans had to get out sharpish to catch their flights home
I didn't start this thread.Just cause you think something doesn’t mean you need to start a thread about it
You've established %^*& all except a difference of opinion.We’ve already established you’re an arsehole I’d do the right thing and keep quiet
The players never lapped the Rangers fans.Is everybody aware the players lapped the Rangers fans applauding them after the full time whistle and before the medal ceremony ? That was my reasoning for heading out for water , we’d already thanked them for their efforts

Yeah but everyone knows that, £40 a year isn’t braking the bank and it helps the club and you get tickets for the big games if you take all the shite.No not in mygers ,but have had a season ticket for years.

They came over and clapped behind the goalsThe players never lapped the Rangers fans.
They went over to the far side and stayed there.
We were right behind the dugout, and the only time they came near us was when they were leaving to go back to the dressing room.
Should have turned his water supply off and cranked the heating up full blast for the full match experience..Car crash from the op.
You justWhat's your problem?
You want a medal for going to a big football final in a country with a warm climate?
The next time you feel like criticising a professional footballer, you can't because you don't have a fraction of the ability?
Nah. You just doubled down on being an *rseh*le, that's what you did. If i was in the trenches, I'd take anyone of the supporters that travelled to Seville over a sanctimonious cretin like you.I criticised the fans.
Fans that were there went 'off on one.'
I pointed out that fans often unfairly criticise footballers and shouldn't be so precious about what they perceive as unfair criticism.
That was it, basically.
Much the same but left before presentation. 4 hours no water in hot and humid conditions, I was shouting and singing with a parched throat that actually made me feel nauseous. Another 1 hour walk back to my digs before I got water and it was still roasting. I thought I'd clap the players but they didn't look like they were coming to my end and uefa were arsing about for what seemed ages setting up the presentation so I left. Easy spent a grand. This is the stupidest OP on FF history which is quite an achievement.I stayed and clapped every Rangers player collect their medals. I sang every song. I shouted myself hoarse.
No criticism at all from me for any Bear who left as soon as the final penalty was scored or who wasn’t in their best singing shape. It was fucking hot, fucking dry and people had spent a lot of money and travelled a fucking long way to get there. Easy to throw stones from home.
Aye, we all think you're acting like a massive throbber and you seem oblivious to it.You've established %^*& all except a difference of opinion.
Criticise the fans who were there all you want lads.
At the end of the day, you sat on your fat arse in Glasgow for one of the biggest games in our history, while the rest of us took planes, trains and automobiles to support our team. Spending an absolute fortune and being treated like animals in the process.
You can ram your excuses. I know who I am prouder to be associated with.
You've established %^*& all except a difference of opinion.
