Hearts could get past them I think Hearts might scramble a draw at home but I'll be surprised if they don't get pasted away. The standard of the Swiss league is far better than Scotland.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 2, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) The bookies had The Rangers as favourites. A licence to lose money. Edited August 2, 2022 by Devon Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that they would get a goalless draw to be honest and take that back home. USG weren't even at home. While USG did well last season they lost their manager and their top scorers. I wasn't sure how well they would cope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Dundee United got a great result tonight. I still expect them to go out but they are at least giving a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaaad! Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not sure anything will outdo losing 3-0 on aggregate to a club your own youth team managed to beat a mere four years ago, but I guess at least it’ll pile more embarrassment onto the state of Scottish football at a European level.

It depends, if Rangers aren't a goal up by half time then I can see their fans turning on them and making it difficult for them. But I still think that they will do it, USG lost to a Mechelen team with Bolingoli in it at the weekend. Of course I hope they don't.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll know that since that youth team win Sligo have improved leaps and bounds, both in infrastructure and performance on the park, but regardless of how the Mighty Well perform in Europe, it's always a real treat watching Rangers falter in any competition.

westlondonmist Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 What the fuck was that? I don't really know what they tried to do. They didn't park the bus, they didn't press, they just stood and watched AZ play football. I don't know what was more embarrassing, the keeper, Jack Ross, the fan with a Dundde United European tour tee or the fan that fell asleep. Their fans had travelled but lots of them had left before half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did suspect they wouldn't see it through but this was like Berti Vogts in a European Championship playoff levels of collapse. Particularly cruel, I thought, was the way the broadcasters took the time to send someone outside to film the fans leaving as the game continued on about the 75min mark. Just a further indictment of the sheer gap between the SPFL Premiership and its European counterparts. Jack Ross's teams usually have a good start then burn out, but this is record time.

David Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 What a result today. Hell of a game as well, going ahead only to go down 2-2, then roar back and win 3-2. I honestly had little hope before 3pm of us taking anything from Aberdeen. Beautiful.

Daaaaaad! Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Quite remarkable. Pleased for Steven Hammell as he was a mainstay of my teams on Championship Manager 4. In my naivety I wondered if James McFadden would have gone for the job, was there ever any discussion around that or is he comfy on the couch next to other Berti Vogts call-ups?

westlondonmist Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Dundee United tanked by Hearts today. They need a new keeper quickly, they had a decent one last season and now they basically have Barkas in goal. Zander Clark is still without a club, he would probably do.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
