Highlight from last night...Big John doing a Tardelli (circa 1982 WC) after the goal went in.

Not sure...quickly Googles German Bundesliga standings..

Just a wee side note, I thought Bassey was also immense considering his age and where he was playing.

Too early for a Europa Final thread to start...? First entry...As I didn't want to temp fate and look at details regarding the final venue, I have looked into this further now. I didn't realise the Stadium only held 43,000. This is poor for a show piece final IMO. Its also a different stadium from the ones the Tims played in for 2003. Despite the limited capacity, the positives are it's a tighter stadium without a large running track around it.

Is there an option for fans or stadium?

I think we have to remember he came in mid season and had to gain the trust of a bunch of players who had a very strong bond with the previous manager. There have been too many silly points dropped but let's not aim everything at Gio. In many games the players let themselves down with sitters and terrible defending. Either way, I've seen more than enough to want to see how he does with some of his own additions.

On UEFA YouTube site 👍

Emotion aside...I think Gio played a tactical blinder last night considering the cards he had been dealt. I also think that applies to many of the other big games of late. He's also shown enough tactical awareness to adapt in game which was not always Gerrards best quality.

Seville is lovely wee town. The Plaza de España is well worth a wee visit.

Feel like last night was a dream. Did it actually happen? Had to tune into Talk sport to confirm. Adrian Durham saying last night was the best atmosphere he's ever experienced in his 40 plus years watching football. I'm still not convinced it happened?

I'm f**king speechless

Happy Birthday Sir. Hopefully a double celebration is on the cards!

That's what it looks liked to me. Almost the same as last week with a small sprinkling of ambition this time and a full house behind us.

Brave 👏

Aribo though the middle? Who from the midfield is going to support the front players? Looks like Gio has set us up to stay in the tie.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Or pissed? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Regardless of what happens tonight I hope the fans are there until the bitter end. The team deserve a full house no matter what. No empty seats at any stage!

Dammit Ian! I thought you had an update on Roofe n Ramsey! You're usually first with all the scoops! 🤣🤣🤣

Rangers 2 Leipzig 1 FGS Kent Gers win it on penalties...

Current state of my tummy at the moment...

Not a criticism. Just an observation 👌

Powerful image. Poor Dallio didn't get the memo I see...

The Bassey-Balugon-Barasic Conundrum... Sounds like an episode of the Big Bang Theory...

Roofe is a fighter and suits games that are tight with little breathing space. Even to get 60/70 minutes from him would ne great. Sakala and Wright (to a lesser degree) are better later in games when the play is more stretched IMO as evidenced on Sunday at Parkhead.
