Relieved as I am that the rs did not win, any attempts to find humour in their situation inevitably bring up our own shortcomings.
We need to be taking apart in such finals, challenging at the highest levels. We may fall a few times but you learn every time and you get back up, it's about the journey and the experiences. They had one night of pain and several nights of pleasure on their journey, yes laugh, yes banter, yes give them [Poor language removed] of course that's football.
But if you honestly gave me the option of us rampaging through the champions league and falling at the last hurdle, I'd take it over mind numbing and embarrassing games against Europa minnows.
This won't go down well with some because some of us don't like the truth.
