Europa League Discussion Thread

[AldoKemp-1]

Im over it. I have accepted, im not even that ******, this season was terreible anyways. What i cannot have is Rangers claiming to be better than Sporting., when it is simply not true.

I haven't seen anyone mention at all saying rangers are better than sporting. However I do disagree with you and some other people saying you are far superior to Rangers when realisticly we are about the same level, Yes we don't play the most attractive football but we win games and thats whats important. We have now put you out of the Europa league just like we put you out of the Uefa cup. But Sporting are not Far or even superior to Rangers just like rangers are not superior to sporting. Its time you grow up and stop making excuses though.

Edit: Shay fair enough mate, actually thinking about it it was forward but not that much. but anyway it still wasn't offside. and also agree the word hun isn't to do with Sectarianism however Halbard what is a hun ? Most likely he doesn't know the answer.

Anyway not going to argue with Halbard on this matter because it's excuse after excuse after excuse as to why his team didn't win and the simple answer is they weren't good enough.

 

[Halbard]

Why don't you just admit that Sporting are stuck in ****.

I've said millions of times that Sporting is being dragged through a sea of **** by the board and the manager. The are completely clueless.

Think its about time you blame the players... Afterall they are the ones on that park performing, Taking a huge wage at the end of the day going home and laughing at all you idiots blaming the manager

@TBM The word Hun has nothing to do with sectarianism

Aldo it was played forward, but I agree with you that it wasnt offside because Edu is behind the ball which is the rule now.

Fair enough, our teacher banned it being said in school though, just assumed. Arguing with others puts Celtic being quite reasonable into perspective.

Hun means german. and yeah people like Halbard decide to say things they hear because they think it will annoy you even though they know nothing about it and why we are called huns. Hanoverian is the correct term for it I have just checked that up so if you want to know more about it just search it

 

[stuartyrangers1]

Why? Seriousely, Sporting played much more, had more posession, attacked more, did not lurk around for the counter, favored a positive gameplay.[/QUOTE]

mate we deserved to win over to legs yous got a lucky break 1st leg to score but 2nd leg we more than matched yous for the whole of the game yea we got a lucky goal second half

 

[Athe~]

This is for the Rangers fans.

The ball was passed foward, so the offside rule applies. "Rangers were better"

As far as I know, as long as he is behind the ball, there's no offside, and he's clearly behind the ball.

Aside from that, maybe you deserved to win, but in football you don't deserve, you either win, or you don't, and this time you didn't. Get over it, there's more European football next season... provided you do well enough in your league.

 

[Halbard]

I just watched the match replays, and i have to say: 2 penalties that should have been given to Sporting. The ref made the game for Rangers. 2 penalties. Can't argue with that, can you?
I will retract my statement about the offside. I was deeply wrong there.

You retract your statement because you found another excuse you mean ? you keep saying your over it but you clearly aren't stop crying. Btw do you count how many free kicks sporting recieved when your players went down without being touched also known as diving ? count how many times that happened over both legs and see what you come up with

I'm over it. Wont lose a minute of sleep over this. But i will defend that Sporting were robbed.

Today, i did not see any diving from Sporting. Neither in the first leg.
Can you honestly say that it is not a penalty, in that video?

There are plenty of dives from sporting, Thats including going down when there is no reason.

Yes I can honestly say that's not a penalty never in your lifetime is there enough force in Bartleys push for the sporting player to fall to the ground which IMO is classed as a dive. I don't think many people will agree with you thats a penalty and Sporting are always robbed according to you. YOU ARE A BAD LOSER GET OVER IT.

What both sides of supporters need to realise IS....

types of football from these countries is ridiculously different, scottish football is typical UK football, the type that i love, and that video of the challenge to me is a pansy making the most of nothing at all.

whereas portugal typical european football, "contact" is a foul, very much 10 seconds from basketball type rules...

disagreement on these challenges is all because of this.

Im afraid lads your going to have to agree to disagree!

im not sure your player went down easily but he was being manhandled by Bartley :S
Could have went either way imo but it is worth a shout anyway.

Que Sera, Sera

you never know, this could be a blessing for Sporting maybe it will lead to the sacking of you coach that you dislike so much?

Understand where your coming from mate but if you have a look at the sporting vs rangers thread (Which is now closed due to halbards biterness) you will see he makes up an excuse for every time his team gets beaten.

I;ve heard excuses off him such "The goal was offside" "It was a handball" "He should have been sent off" he cannot simply just admit his time aren't good enough :S and i'm the first one to admit when i'm wrong and that my team aren't the greatest team but his excuses are the dumbest ones ever and believe me it's 1 of many of his excuses he has used on this game alone. Infact i;m actually going to be the bigger man now and ignore him because his constant trolling of excuses is beginning to annoy me.

 

[Halbard]

Going to sleep. Too bad i cant show that lovely elbow hit on Postiga by bartley, but whatever. You would probably call it a display of affection.

Even the newspapers say its a penalty. All the major papers in Portugal say its more than enough contact for a penaly.

I actually feel sorry for Matigol Such a great player lost in a **** hole.

Give it a rest!

and you have just massively proven my point, portuguese football and opinions of football is massively different to UK football. you practically play basketball, type in "Old Firm challenges" into youtube and see what the lads that have been arguing with you are used to week in week out, then you may understand.

and i wonder why the portuguese press are going to claim a penalty... hhmmm
