Ramar Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Man Rangers are so dreary to watch. Defend, defend, defend, defend, defend, long ball to fast striker! defend, defend, defend. Yeah I watched the first half, me and my brother resorted to making random jokes about the Arsenal board to entertain ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 As long as they get the job done thats all that matters. Nacho Novo is going to grab the winner in the 83rd minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Guardian sum the first half up here really: 22 min: Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... hack! Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... hoof! Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... Zenit pressure ... hack! 26 min: Ineffectual Zenit probing ... Ineffectual Zenit probing ... Ineffectual Zenit probing ... Ineffectual Zenit probing ...

tapedeck Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 And Zenit! Oh, they've scored. Can't see Rangers doing anything here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Best team in the competition won it. You could see that Rangers had nothing once Zenit scored, they paniced and all they had was to throw on 3 more strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 All I can say is: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL! Not because I'm a Celtic supporter, but because of how Rangers played throughout the entire bleeding tournament. They got to final by sheer luck. Like Middlesbrough back in 2006, only much less entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 The main news tonight is that in the real big game Hull beat Watford 4-1 so will play Bristol City in the Championship Play-off final. So next season will see two new teams to the Premiership and the possibility of Derby's record not lasting very long! Hopefully information about tickets will be revealed soon and I'll be able to nab some and enjoy seeing Bristol City win promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Gutted for Rangers, you can't really play like that against a team with the quality that Zenit have. Like the commentators said, I'll be looking forward to seeing Zenit in the Champions League next season, they should fare quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play the most dreary football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Best team won tonight (UEFA Cup). Zenit deserved to be in the final, Rangers didn't. They had played boring football throughout the whole tournament, getting lucky in the 2nd legs every single time. Well done, Zenit. Thoroughly deserved.

RIP Tommy Burns, a true Celtic legend. Tommy is a legend. Real Celtic man! great manager and very unlucky not to have won the title. I remember the 1995/1996 season where his celtic team only lost one game but they still never won the league. The football was fantastic!! pics taken from celtic park earlier. taken from kerrydale street forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
