Uefa Cup Last 16 1st leg- Rangers 2-0 Werder Bremen (Ibrox Stadium)

[Andygers]

This is going to be a really testing match, I feel we have a chance if we play to our best. The midfield is key for this game, hopefully Thomson will be back for then...

Wishful thinking but I say Rangers 2-0 Werder Bremen.

[ulster21]

this will be Charlie Adam's coming out party....2-1 to Rangers

[Andygers]

^ 2-1 is a bad result lets hope its not that scoreline!!!

[CambriaFan]

^^ You're right 2-1 wouldn't be great. The most important thing is that we don't concede an away goal so I'll say 1-0.

[ulster21]

the great teams play to win not to hopefully give up no goals!!

[13Ballack13]

2-1 werder bremen i say... :)

[Andygers]

^ Boo you!!!!

[Andygers]

the great teams play to win not to hopefully give up no goals!! In your logic Celtic are a great team then??? they tried to win against Barcelona but got thrashed, the way we play in Europe is correct and we should continue to do so.

:yell: And we will continue to make it to the round of 32 or the round of 16 and never have a shot at winning any cups!!! The teams that win take some chances. I'd rather lose like a man than win like a pu**y!!!

I'd rather lose like a man than win like a pu**y!!! I'm sorry but you are talking crap, you say we will never have a shot of winning any cups, we are in 4 trophies and its February, if thats not being in with a shot then I don't know what is. Also football is about winning so if we win the UEFA Cup will you disregard it??? I think they give glorious failure a name, its....."the Celtic way".

I meant the Uefa Cup or CL not those crappy little Scottish cups....... Rangers will not win the UC unless we change tactics....yes we have gotten this far with our current strategy yet we gotten here before over the past few years and failed!! Is Walter Smith paying you???:D

[Wabbit]

Just for u Andy my friend Im gonna go with Ranger 2 Bremen 1 ;)

Good luk for them ;)

Is Walter Smith paying you???:D Yes but my point is that Celtic go out and attack and have they won anything in Europe, no!!!!

[Andygers]

Just for u Andy my friend Im gonna go with Ranger 2 Bremen 1 ;)

Good luk for them ;) Thanks for your support but 2-1 would be a pretty bad scoreline.

[ulster21]

Thanks for your support but 2-1 would be a pretty bad scoreline.

I thought you would love that score... then we could play our strength and go for a 0-0 draw in Germany :shocked:

Ask yourself...does Real Madrid, Man Utd, Inter etc... ever go for scoreless draws during the first match?

[ulster21]

Yes but my point is that Celtic go out and attack and have they won anything in Europe, no!!!!

I can not believe you are making me give Celtic credit.....they have not won anything yet they have come alot closer than us in recent times.

[Andygers]

I thought you would love that score... then we could play our strength and go for a 0-0 draw in Germany :shocked:

Ask yourself...does Real Madrid, Man Utd, Inter etc... ever go for scoreless draws during the first match? I think you are taking Bremen too lightly, if we give them any advantage they will take it. Your point about Real Madrid ect. is pointless because all teams play to their strengths and our strength is making the game difficult for opponents.

[13Ballack13]

rangers would never play 0-0 with bremen in germany haha you must be kidding me... remember what happened to aberdeen and gala.... haha :)

[Andygers]

rangers would never play 0-0 with bremen in germany haha you must be kidding me... remember what happened to aberdeen and gala.... haha :) Yes but have any of them beaten Lyon 3-0 and played out a draw against Barcelona????

Also I love it when people take us lightly, it makes us more hungrier to win.....

[13Ballack13]

Lol dont try and take Werder bremen lightly if u do u might lose cuz dey will take advantages of chances that you will give dem... dey have a couple of good players dat could brake threw the rangers defence 1 of dem Diego the brazilian star.....

[Andygers]

Lol dont try and take Werder bremen lightly if u do u might lose cuz dey will take advantages of chances that you will give dem... dey have a couple of good players dat could brake threw the rangers defence 1 of dem Diego the brazilian star..... Since when did I take Bremen lightly??? I actually have them down as favorites, I was just saying that Rangers can also hold their own in Europe.

You say about Deigo, we have played him when he was at Porto and Braga, he didn't do anything to us then. At least we play as a team and don't rely on individuals to win games ;).

[13Ballack13]

yea^^ dats true Rangers always play as a team.. So your sayin bremen doesnt? well dey did lose klose one of dere key strikers but they still have good players that can compete with rangers.........

[Andygers]

^ No I'm just saying that we play more as a team, attacking football teams play more as individuals like Bremen do. No offense.

[Andygers]

Right this is my rallying call!!! COME ON YOU GERS!!!!!!!

I want this thread to be as active as possible!!!!

So BRING ON THE BREMEN!!!!

[Wabbit]

Well if u dont like the 2-1 then....30...but thats like a miracle isnt it??

[Andygers]

^ 3-0 would settle the tie but I highly doubt we will get that much, 2-0 I still say!!! I saw highlights of the Bremen-Dortmund game today and apart from the goals (that were impressive) Bremen weren't too good and I am hopeful for the game ahead!!!

[Wabbit]

^Well nithing sttles u!! haha...good luck man, Im sure u'll be prying to every god to win that game!

[Andygers]

^ Yeah if I believed in him!!!!

this is going to be so tough!!!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

bremen is gonna show how its done just watch out for diego he might ripp the rangers defence apart im telling you this guy is soo sick...

[Andygers]

Well we stopped Messi, Henry and Ronaldinho in one game so we know what threats are like!! Also what if he gets injured, what are they gonnie do then??? I believe that Rangers have the strength not to be intimidated by one player!!!

Also some info for fans in the UK, the Game is on BBC1 Scotland on Thursday at 8pm :).

[Andygers]

Right I know you're out there Ulster but I cannot agree with you about Charlie Adam, He cannot play in this game!!! he will be a nightmare and I cannot believe you can stand up for him.

[Gunner]

hope to see rangers win this one, keep it strong for the british teams

[Andygers]

Cheers for the support, I'm dying for this game to come!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

i cant wait for this game to come, hopefully werder bremen will win this game.......... keep the german clubs rolling in the uefa cup :smoking:

[Andygers]

Nah I have faith in Rangers for this one!!!!!

Here goes my full prediction...

Rangers 2-0 Werder Bremen (Novo + Cousin) PLEASE LET THIS BE THE SCORE!!!!!!!

I read in the paper today that Diego has a short fuse, so if we get him annoyed he could get sent off :).

[13Ballack13]

2-0!! pshhhhhhhhh someone please slap me someone is exaggerating to much...
that will not be the score im hopping for a 0-0 tie in scotland den send it back home to bremen n win it dere....

[Andygers]

How is that exaggerating in the slightest??? I love my club and I am not going to go against them in anyway. Rangers have the ability to win 2-0 and one of the main reasons we do well against teams like Lyon and Barcelona is because we are underestimated too much. We even underestimated Lyon and got hammered but this is the UEFA cup not the CL, so I have every faith in my team.

[13Ballack13]

lol ok w/e, i think its gonna be 1-0 for bremen a goal by diego.... by anything can happen i got faith in the german clubs...

[Andygers]

Bremen are too attacking and thats where our strengths lie against teams that attack, teams that try and slow the game down play better against us. Pana showed this at Ibrox they sat back and got a decent result.

[13Ballack13]

basically all german clubs are attacking same thing with Fc bayern we still managed to beat the big teams like 2-0 in italy against inter hahah.........
bremen needs to just keep attacking a lot and dey will get at least 1 in the back of the net.........

[Andygers]

Nah rangers are too good for bremen!!!!

[13Ballack13]

lol yea ok man, keep on dreaming of dat, watch bremen surprise rangers im gonna die laughin if it happens haha....... never under estimate people use to think bayern was "garbage until they beat teams like real madrid,inter and sooo on..... :)

[Andygers]

If Bremen win it wouldn't be a shock but I hope I wouldn't even have to consider that.

[13Ballack13]

the first leg is in scotland rite if im not mistake?..... its gonna be hard for bremen to win it wont come easy, the least i would except from bremen is a tie to give dem hope in the return..... im pretty sure rangers would take this first leg dere really at dere home field....

[Wabbit]

Geez I wish I could see this game to know of who I have to laugh after it :lol:

[Andygers]

Lol I hope it isn't me!!!!

[13Ballack13]

hahah not me hopefully :)
bremen better tie or win either one will do for me....

[Wabbit]

^Seriously that game is gonna be good..someone let me knoe the result once is done plz!!

[13Ballack13]

don't worry, ill let u know what the results are as soon as the game is done ill post it on here....

[Gunner]

haha we have a scottish - german rivalry starting here!!

[ulster21]

I say 2-1 to Bremen

[Andygers]

^ NOOOO we have a disbeliever in our midsts!!! we are the people and will not be stopped!!

[13Ballack13]

[13Ballack13]

[Andygers]

^ Yeah thanks for the praise buddy, that goalkeeper was a joke but we did still deserve to win that game!!

[Sarajbahçe]

you did great against Bremen (which most people thought were the favourites)
you guys are one of the favourites of winning the Uefa Cup, along with Bayern Munchen
you won at home 2:0, now i hope you guys go to Bremen prepared and play smart.. ill be cheering for you guys in the next round!!

SASA PAPAC!! :)

[Andygers]

^ Thanks buddy, its always good to get Bosnian support on this side (because there are tonnes of them!!!)

I think we will have to defend for our lives in that game but we can do it!!!

[13Ballack13]

i kno man w-t-f was he thinkin on the first goal wooooooooow how pathetic............. my old grama can f--kn save dat all he all to do is punch it over the bar..... now i hope rangers k-lll the sh--t out of bremen wiese made bremen look like fools.....

[Andygers]

Acht you shouldn't worry Bayern did really well!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

Viva Viva FC bayern......... hey man Rangers play freaking amazing im not even gonna lie great passes and great crosses.... Rangers dominated from beginning to end........

[Sarajbahçe]

^ since you guys beat lyon.. and when you guys made the uefa cup, i knew that it would be tough for most teams to beat you guys
you guys might not seem the strongest on paper.. but oohh man can you guys play amazing!
you guys play with heart and i really like that about you guys


Uefa Cup Finals!

Rangers 1:0 Bayern Munchen

( Cousin 49' )

[13Ballack13]

lol, when was this finals like 20 years ago or im guessing if Rangers - Bayern were to meet im pretty dam sure bayern would take it......... :smoking:

[Sarajbahçe]

^ if Rangers - Bayern meet in the finals ;)

dont you want to see a bosnian on Rangers take the uefa cup this year??
i do.. Rangers are doing amazing in the Uefa Cup and i really dont want to see Bayern winning everything, they will win the Bundesliga this year and the last thing i need being a Schalke fan in the Bundesliga to see Bayern becoming even more powerful and get more rich (as if they dont already have the money).. i would like to see Rangers make it all the way!

[13Ballack13]

i would be the happiest player ever if Bayern were to take the uefa cup, they have been dominating in a lot of things this year the DFB Pokal, league cup and now the uefa cup it would be a big accomplishment for bayern if dey win the uefa cup.. :smoking:

[ulster21]

^ since you guys beat lyon.. and when you guys made the uefa cup, i knew that it would be tough for most teams to beat you guys

I knew it, good for the rangers!!

[Andygers]

Yes it is good for Rangers!!!!

[13Ballack13]

lmao Rangers would beat Bayern 1-0 keep on dreaming....... :smoking:

[CambriaFan]

This is the first time I've posted since the game so I would just like to say:
WHAT.....A......RESULT :D :D :D!!!

The keeper sold both goals but Rangers did more than enough to merit the win and we deserved our luck. If McCulloch had just been able to get the third at the end we'd be home and dry but as Ferguson says - it isn't over. Still with a performance like thursday's in the next leg we should be on our way to the quarters.

Bring on Bayern ;)

[13Ballack13]

haha bayern would win if dey meet rangers just watch.....
this is our best team in like a long time..... :smoking::smoking:

[13Ballack13]

hahah dats a big "if" you win but dat wont happen :) Bayern will be ready for you just bring it on if ur ready to get torn apart....... :)

[Andygers]

^ Man you drew with Aberdeen, they are rubbish and you played them at their worst point of the season!!!

[13Ballack13]

lol we drew with aberdeen because our goalie Rensing has lack of experience what dont u get about dat.............. we drew with aberdeen so what... we killed dem 5-1 in munich didnt we thought so....... the second leg is what matters my friend doesnt matter if we drew 5-5 or w/e we won the second leg so its all good...... u see me saying sh--t when u drew against panthiakos no den w-t-f?
