Possibility of Scum in last 16

[True Blue Avenger]

See if we get through, draw Sporting and scud them too, do we win Portugal?

 

[Number11]

Job to be done next week first.

This.

 

[richmond23]

I reckon both away fans would be banned.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

I know it’s only tongue in cheek stuff people saying we go to Braga and win , but just to keep it real -

How many away wins have we had in Europe under Gerrard ? 3 out of 14 games , all in qualifiers - Mitjalland, St Joseph’s, Osijek .

How good are Braga in comparison to any team we have played in the past two years ? Certainly on par with Porto .

How much will we miss Alfie leading the line on Wednesday and giving their whole defence something to worry about ?

The last 25 mins aside , how bad is our form currently ?

As delighted as we are with our comeback and the grit shown by our players , even on top form with Alfie on fire we do not win many away in Europe - it’s a tad silly and irresponsible to suggest we will stroll into Braga and win the match .

If we play to our best and Braga have an off night we could get the draw that sees us through . That’s reality .

Yes, no surrender indeed.

 

[Robert Marshall]

I reckon both away fans would be banned.

Why ?

 

[Robert Marshall]

No. They will want the 2nd leg at home with zero of our support. They would only allow us in their ground if it was the first leg at theirs

And to be honest, we'd be the same, 100% us at Ibrox for second leg

Only if both Club's agree

 

[rangerstilidie54321]

Could you imagine......

 

[pelem]

Very much agree. I don't think that handball last night would've been given against them in Scotland. Our officials would've 'missed' it.

You actually meant 'Whit hand ball'.

 

[Woodheadbear]

We have won 3 away games out of 14 away from home in Europe under Gerrard . But people think we just go to Braga , minus Alfie and playing poorly , and win ?

What goes through peoples minds ?

I'm sure I read somewhere that in the 14 away ties we've only twice suffered a result that would see us knocked out. We're a very good team in europe so its certainly not beyond us to win though I think a draw is more likely

 

[Erniep]

If it happened I would imagine both clubs (and the police) would be happy with no away fans at either game. A chance to completely sell out all seats with no segregation to worry about.

 

[richmond23]

Why ?

Under police advice. Potential for trouble.

 

[Stephen]

It would be glorious. The original 'gold dust brief' and we'd be favourites for a last 8 berth.

 

[aldojack]

Watch this, we will draw them in the next round then FARE will appear and try for a stadium ban for us

They've been quiet since that tweet incident....

 

[devilman]

Nah, I'd rather Copenhagen just pumped them in the next game. Not even just a little bit, a proper pumping and us going through. They would not like that one bit. Although, their stories would change on what they prefer anyway.

 

[Robert Marshall]

Under police advice. Potential for trouble.

So why is there not home fans only when we play 4 times a season?

 

[Robert Marshall]

It would be glorious. The original 'gold dust brief' and we'd be favourites for a last 8 berth.

ST holders would get their own seats

 

[VGM]

That'd be a quiet night in at the library.

Not......

 

[Scott Wilkie]

I would

As both clubs are in with a shout of qualifying for the last 16 it got me wondering; have we ever been close to drawing the scum in Europe before?
I remember my Old man mentioning it before...not sure if he was right or not.

Love it.

 

[richmond23]

Games not as high profile as this one would be

 

[Robert Marshall]

Games not as high profile as this one would be

Just another old firm game

 

[NorthAntrim]

“If” it was to happen would it be a case of a general old firm and meet in your own bars/supporters clubs etc. Or would fans take over say George square for a day like we do on a “proper” European away day?

 

[Dugsy]

Would love to play them in he next round, would be carnage though.

 

[GazRanger]

Let’s get through first!

 

[Union Jack Pillow]

Would take that in a min! Think wednesday will be the end of our euro games this season sadly

 

[Robert Marshall]

I’ll crack the jokes

Is it your turn for the jokes, HenningBerg
See post number 90

 

[Kingging]

If we can't have Copenhagen, I want Man Utd next round

 

[Robert Marshall]

Is it your turn for the jokes

 

[david1982]

Be funny if the skunks shit the bed tomorrow...

 

[GS94]

Morelos hasn’t scored an Old Firm goal before, imagine him scoring at the Piggery and it counts as 2?

 

[BillStruthsGreenhouse]

............A week of carnage. If we were to put them out of Europe and win the league game it would end them.

Forever..

 

[Golfclashloyal]

They are due at Ibrox in between the two last 16 ties.

 

[Dylanbear]

That would be glorious

 

[Berserker]

A we draw København in the next round.

 

[Graemelins]

Not sure how they'd even begin to try and organise fans getting over there. Every single flight leaving Scotland would be mixed and end up getting diverted. The airport would be a war zone.

To quote Winston Churchill:
“whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

Humble pie delightedly scoffed squire

Oh it would be unreal

I'm sure I wouldn't be able to taste it because of this lemmon in my mouth

Should play this pre match at Ibrox

 

[Gaz030191]

Even if they get through (which being realistic they probably will) its a 6% chance we draw them.

Always a chance but don't think it'll happen, that said I don't want them anyway. Hope they draw inter and go out and we keep moving on.

The less pressure on our guys to keep going the better.

 

[Cooper_11]

Correct .

We are all buzzing from that comeback last night and rightly so , but without alfie in Braga against that level of opposition we probably have no more than a 10% chance of going through . Braga could win the tournament IMO

That was my opinion last week when they were in complete control for an hour at Ibrox. But we showed that we have something about us in this campaign by beating them home and away. By that reckoning, and although it’s a very big ask, we can win this tournament.

Great result & performance but there are plenty teams still in it who will take advantage of us continually giving the ball away, especially 1st half. I think we gave it away 6 times in the first 5 minutes tonight. Its impossible to win a European trophy if you give the ball away too easily.

 

[Oranje]

I'll go against the flow and would rather get a glamour tie of Man U or Arsenal. We will be playing the mentally challengeds the Sunday before the 1st leg of the last 16. Would be sick of the sight of the manky khunts.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

I hope we don't get them. It's Europe. Let's get something different rather than playing them for the 6th and 7th time.

 

[doyle55]

Wouldn't mind getting Arsenal.

 

[The Predator]

As I said on Twitter. I'd fancy it.

Unbias referees.
VAR.

They wouldn't fancy that.

 

[Henry Hill]

Arsenal

That’s a good point actually
