Can't believe players, team and manager getting knocked for that performance. 

 

Opened up tonight and we'd have lost 3 or 4 nil, as it is, we were unfortunate to lose and still have a great opportunity to make the final. 

 

That'll do for me

All about persepcrive, and only when it's deseved- not as if we've lost 1-0 to Raith Rovers in the Ramsdens Cup Final tonight. 

 

That team should be destroying us, I would expect their forums would be the ones knocking players, management and performance, not ours.

Like Braga before them, Leipzig might well have lost their best chance tonight. I didn't see anything better than we've met before. They were ponderous in the buildup and poor in front of goal. Given that they were mostly trying to win and we were mostly trying not to lose, I'd say we have nothing to fear. We might not make the final but it won't be because Leipzig are playing football at a different level than us.

That may have been different if he had "opened up". Given the players at his disposal, the manager got it right.

 

For what they have spent, for all their European experience (especially in CL) they should be swatting us aside. So huge credit to our players as there looked very little between the teams tonight. 

 

I'd say whoever scores 1st next week goes to the final.

My thoughts exactly. The Leipzig player is offside & in the goalkeeper’s line of vision

Didn`t notice it when the shot was whistling through everybody, but when you see the slow motions ...

 

... then again, the ball was hitting the net before McGregor actually moved, IIRC.

Because he couldn't see it due to the offside player was blocking his view?

Aren't all goals subject to a VAR check?

Might even do it with one goal.

Very true r_s although don't fancy penalties  I'd take it right now if you offered them though
