Fancy a German team beating a British team in a penalty shoot out.
Holly fuck . Imagine Cheaty playing in front of this lot
As soon as I saw Ramsey step up, who had barely played three minutes before that and came on just to take a pen, I knew he’d miss. His body language was completely wrong. I really don’t know why managers tend to outguess themselves these days when it comes to penalties. As it is, a good Rangers side got beaten in a cruel manner. I feel a bit for Gerrard’s former lads and their fantastic support. They were every inch as good as Frankfurt, but well… someone had to win it in the end.
Congrats to Frankfurt! Despite having rarely won something, they are a big club in a big city, with a fantastic support as well. Finally, they enjoy some genuine success, good on them!
So it’s not exclusive to England fans then. Fancy that.
I’d say it’s exclusive to alcohol-soaked twats who have drunk so much that they don’t know anymore what they are doing. Nationality doesn’t matter in these things.
Alcohol-induced stupidity is non-discriminatory.
Well done to Frankfurt for beating those cunts in the final.

@Nikola Partizan got knocked-out by a Cypriot club.
@Bekloppt your favorites are facing each other
Dunno Ifti, I went off Sheriff when it turned out they’re owned by dodgy oligarchs.
Intrigued by Omonoia. It sounds like a disease.
The less said, the better. Probably the biggest crisis at the club in my time.
Guess that’s what happens when one lets Markovic go…
Yeah, that entire region is rather dodgy.
What’s the issue with Partizan? I know the clubs and leagues in former Yugoslavia are in a mess.
Anyone giving Rangers a good chance tonight?
They are in the CL thread
Oops, last season hangover…
I do think should be Conference and League mind.
Or next season … for us …
Yikes.
