AJF

Eh we've already beaten Real Madrid this season don't you know!!!

Game went largely as expected. Minutes for players likely to be in the starting 11 next Wednesday with the subs being used to bring off some of the VIPs. First half I thought we were really good. Penned county into their third of the pitch and worked the ball around well. Scott Wright had a great first half. He looks really good just floating around, receiving the ball with his back to goal and popping off little passes and lay off’s to the 2nd and 3rd runners. Not quite how I expected his role in the team to look but it was really effective. Another goal and assist for Tav. The man is an absolute machine. For me he is already worthy of a place in the hall of fame. If he leads us to European glory then he will go down as one of the club greats, in my opinion. Lowry has bags of potential. He was a little wasteful at times tonight but just watching the way he receives the ball, plays cute balls round the corner and fizzes passes across the field has me excited. Another good half from Diallo too who may well be a good option to have off the bench if we are looking for something going into the latter stages of the final.

Thought we’d start a strong team, pretty much full strength. Game a week before the final and then ring the changes on Saturday seems fairly sensible.

Cheers gents, it's appreciated. Like I said, I don't feel as though I am in a place where I should be worried, I just feel myself being worn down a bit and felt it might help putting thoughts into words and this seemed as good a place as any!

I seriously hope this is a parody of Specksy and isn't a genuine attempt. This trend should stop, even though I found Specksy's song rather catchy while simultaneously cringing at it.

I said I found it interesting rather than entertaining, but I take your point.

In fairness to Rooney, didn't she just say that the leaks were coming from Vardy's account, rather than actually say Vardy was the one responsible?

Contrary to some, I actually find this stuff pretty interesting similar to the Depp v Heard trial. Quite sad but interesting nonetheless.

On this point, I actually think starting in an earlier round of qualifying can be a benefit for different reasons than you mention. For instance this season we played less qualifiers than we normally do and were very ill prepared for Malmo. A couple of games in Q2 will have you in a better place going into Q3, fitness and cohesion-wise, in my opinion anyway. Obviously there is the possibility the Q2 tie could be lost, but come through it then you're in a much better position than just starting in Q3.

A really good piece. It's concise and while she touches on her own experience regarding her love for football and how she felt, she then shifts attention from herself and on to the wider issue at hand.

The final being in Seville has added another element to our run to the final. Hopefully we can get the job done.

I am separating from my partner after 11 years together. Things ended amicably and we still have a lot of love for each other. We have accepted an offer on our home which I currently live in alone. As we go through the process of removing/selling furniture, each night I come back to an emptier shell of a house. I've never suffered from depression, and I don't believe I currently am either, but I can feel myself growing wearier. She was my first and only real meaningful relationship so I am new to this whole break-up malarkey. Alcohol has become more prominent in my life. I feel I am responsible enough to recognise signs of needing to speak about this. I've got a great group of friends and family, but it feels a little less daunting expressing this here than to them.

I’d like to see Lowry given a start. I think his appearances thus far show he is ready to. I imagine we will see a few first team players get some minutes to keep them ticking over but then fully rested on Saturday in prep for the final.

Describing a player as “in-demand” seems weird in an article where no other teams are mentioned as being interested.

Aye mate Category 4, that's all that was left. I'm the same, I was shocked to say the least haha!

Just got an email saying the threshold has dropped to 1502! Ticket acquired:

aye, I’ve not taken the plunge yet. In two minds. The fact that there are no planned fan zones and pubs apparently won’t be open to show it then there’s no point in going without a ticket. That’s how I’m trying to justify the cost to myself in my head

That’s what I mean though, why is it being painted by some as a Rangers issue rather than just a wanky comedian makes an arse of himself issue? The Jim Spence tweet highlighted that even more that for some reason, folk are desperate to cast blame on anything Rangers.

The fact this is getting released tomorrow with little advance notice at all makes me wonder if we are being forced into wearing it for the europa final due to some crazy kit clash or something

I thought I was able to accept no going to the game and watching it somewhere but after today I think I'm going to buy one off one of these secondary ticketing sites. It'll cost me a fortune but I'm that deflated right now I don't really care.

Aye, apparently so. There's a boy on another forum said he was below 1500 on Friday night, bought the Edmiston House package that night and then got his email today saying he's got a ticket as above 1511 points. Haha, contacted that guy right after the game on Thursday but tickets were already away unfortunately.

What makes it worse is that I've seen some people that were below 1500 points but purchased the Edmiston House package which adds 50 MyGers points instantly rather than at the next points update which has now resulted in them being allocated a ticket. I seriously wish I'd known that

Aye, just seen that. Gutted!

That's what I was thinking. Would be chaos if both Rangers and Frankfurt fans were just left to find their own place to watch it. Nah. Although I misread a post which stated 9am today was the deadline for the second batch of tickets to be bought, I thought that was when the leftovers would be released, so I'd imagine the leftovers as a result of fans going on the official flights will be put out later today at some point.
