Scottish football

Haha I know mate. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely buzzing this morning. What a result over both legs. Still, beating them 3-2 (assuming it finished that way) would have been phenomenal.

6 goals against Dortmund is unlikely to be equaled nevermind beaten.

Anyway glad you enjoyed Rangers performance last night and pity(not!!) that your predicted 4 goal victory for Dortmund didn't materialise!! ?

I can't recall that. Although if Haaland was playing, I would have definitely predicted a Dortmund victory.

 

[RFCbluenose]

Yeah, was puzzled at the game why he disallowed it, they don't show replay in stadium so when Germans were going nuts protesting about it thought Alfie must have clipped him, saw it on highlights when I got back and as you say shocking decision not only that it was the wrong call, shocking why VAR only show the two angles to ref when the TV one from the rear clearly shows what happened!!! what is the point of using VAR if they don't give the ref ALL the views available to him so as he can do what they say VAR is all about???

Totally agree

Ahh, the old selective memory.
But to use your hypothetical viewpoint, if Helander was playing i'm sure he'd have dealt with Haaland! ?

Should've been 7!! ?

Tough draw don't fancy having to go to Serbian for a win but its one of the favourable ones we could of have.

Difficult game no doubt, but definitely a winable tie!

I can remember thinking that last year with Slavia mate lol .

Looking forward to it, no doubt the money will be taken off for the ticket in the next couple of days.

Was hoping to get the Hammers in the draw but hey ho!! Looking forward to it anyway.
But back into one game at a time mode now, need to sort out the throwing away of points in the league , roll on Sunday and the reality of playing the Hammer throwers of Motherwell!! ?

A fixture which should be a walk over will no doubt me made hard. Away record since the break has been abysmal. Keep saying right we need to start now. Starting to feel like them last year. Be calling for null and void shortly due to the Ukraine Russia situation

 

[Bluerover]

Yep, totally agree with the putting doubt in ref's head,they must have access to all the TV angles surely or what is the point of it if not?
Mind you maybe VAR was being operated by a few of our errr... incompetent ref's up here, that would explain it!! ?

This placing pressure on refs seems to be very common

If the game goes ahead, Gers have got to take confidence from their last game moving forward, not sure how close for comfort the away leg would be though, don't know where we'll be with things in a couple of weeks time.
Rangers flying the flag for Scotland again, it's a while since Celtic had a good run in Europe tbf.

That is true mate who knows what is going to happen. Since Celtic beat Lazio home and away they have been terrible in Europe bar a couple of wins in the last game of the group when they have already been knocked out.

 

[laudo9]

Yep, refer

Yep, the job of refereeing a football match is a thankless task more often than not, VAR(if used properly) will 9 times out of 10 lead to the correct decision and help the officials at games, therefore in turn take the pressure off ref's?
Using VAR and then not using all available angles to assess it doesn't make any sense?

European nights at Ibrox and Parkhead when the fans and the teams in unison are something else, I've experienced both live in the past but as I'd previously commented you could feel the atmosphere coming through the TV at Ibrox, the fans certainly played their full part in that victory.
