Uefa Cup Semi Final 2nd leg- Fiorentina 0-0 Rangers (Rangers win 4-2 on pens)

[Andygers]

Can we do it? Can we get to the final? Can we make one final push?

COME ON YOU GERS!!!!

LETS DO THIS!!!!

I say Fiorentina 1-1 Rangers :)

[I Am Legend]

I say Fiorentina 1-1 Rangers :)

I think that will be the score too, even though Fiorentina were technically the much better side last night.

[Andygers]

Yes I 100% agree with that, they were the better side by far technically but we did our job and kept them out. They key in this leg is that we will have our two best midfielders back which is fantsatic news. The only wish I have for this match is that we do not get battered like we did in Bremen.

[BessiMIX]

Im not agreeing to you two. If they would be stronger than Violas they'd win in their home. Fiorentina is in a great form, and I am so so hopping they continue this to down the ac milan. But I am tipping this win only if they win vs Sampa tomorrow, its hard but they will need to do it.
The two clubs tomorrow/sunday will have very strong opponents:
Vs Sampa
Celtic Vs Rangers, the BIG DERBY!

I think Rangers is better to race for the tittle of Scotish PL than the Uefa Cup wich is only express to Bayern.

Fiorentina since start will play with more attacks to the goal of rangers and they will score one. Rangers will not know to use the chance and in that form they will be down. So Bayern v Viola final :p

My Prediction: 2-0

[Saraj Fanático]

1-1 I say also.

[Andygers]

Im not agreeing to you two. If they would be stronger than Violas they'd win in their home. Well if you consider that two of our absoulte key players out then 0-0 is not a bad result at all in Europe. Ferguson and Thomson will be back to gun Viola down!

I think Rangers is better to race for the tittle of Scotish PL than the Uefa Cup which is only express to Bayern. I don't think at this point of the competition we will be resting and focusing on just the one, remember we are chasing four throphies not just the one ;). Also who is to say that Bayern are automatically going to get to the final, Zenit have the advantage in that tie.[/QUOTE]

[DelijaZauvjek]

1-0 for fiorentina ;)
Or Penalties.

[13Ballack13]

1-0 fiorentina :)

[nb-legenda]

0-0 again and Rangers goes to finals after penalties.

[Andygers]

1-0 for fiorentina ;)
Or Penalties. Wheres your sig of the score of the first leg? I thought you were going to rub it into my face.

[ulster21]

With Ferguson back I give us a 1-1 draw

[Andygers]

^ Sounds about right, this will be one of the most memorable moments of my football supporting life if we make it!

[ulster21]

^ Sounds about right, this will be one of the most memorable moments of my football supporting life if we make it!

Making it to the final won't mean a damn thing...we need to win it :rockon:

[Andygers]

Well if you ask any Celtic fan under 40 years old what their most memorable moment as a fan was I bet everytime they will tell you the Final in Seville.

A loss will never be my best memory

[Andygers]

^ Well we still have to beat Fiorentina before we make any memories ;)

[Sema]

It didn't happen in the first leg, but it will in the second.

Fiorentina 0 - 2 Rangers

[I Am Legend]

Making it to the final won't mean a damn thing...we need to win it :rockon:


I agree. That would be like having cake and not being able to eat it. If I got cake then I want to eat it. :smoking:

[Andygers]

God this now becomes doubly important after todays defeat, now I expect us to take something to boost morale in the camp. Good thing is Fiorentina drew 2-2 at home with Sampdoria, with their full team out.

[nb-legenda]

Damn man Celtic beat Rangers 3-2 :worried:

[Andygers]

^ Yes but I felt that we played well enough to win that game but that is a different matter.

Fiorentina drew 2-2 at home at the weekend, Mutu and Vieri both scored but the fact that they conceded two goals at home fills me with confidence coming into this game. Thomson and Celluar (two of our best players imo) are back for this game as well as Ferguson (who was great in the first half on Sunday). The counter attack will be key as Fiorentina will definately pressure us in waves of attack as long as we hold out for the first 20 minutes then I can see us being fine for this game. We will have to hold Mutu off and Vieri, they both have big egos and if we frustrate them enough they could lose the plot and just go off the boil completely lose it, stopping about 75% of their attacking options. My main concern is breaking down that defence because they did look strong in the first leg. However saying that they will leave bigger gaps whilst attacking so maybe that will give us more chance of scoring a goal, if we score first we will advance to the final.

[nb-legenda]

Why is Vieri scoring all these goals? I think he isn't a good player at all, too old and slow and predictable dribbler. Is Serie A getting weaker?

[Andygers]

^ He must just be a class striker, the art of intimidation also comes into play when being a good striker is in question.

[ulster21]

C'mon you Gers!!!!!!!!

[Andygers]

Lets make history!!!! Lets beat them and get to a final!!!!

COME ON YOU GERS!!!!

[ulster21]

Andy....what is the latest injury update?

[I Am Legend]

Yes.

[ulster21]

Yes.

I nominate this for post of the month :D

[Andygers]

Andy....what is the latest injury update? Adam, McCulloch, McGregor, Burke and Naismith are definately out and Weir and Davis are doubts, though I am 70% sure that Davis will make it.

[DelijaZauvjek]

lol@ Nermin saying Serie A getting weaker..


Umm NANANANNAN HEY HEY GOODBYE RANGERS
1-0 tommorow for Fiorentina.

[Andygers]

Umm NANANANNAN HEY HEY GOODBYE RANGERS
1-0 tommorow for Fiorentina. Ok then you keep that prediction and we will see what happens tomorrow, was it not you who told me that Fiorentina would definately score at Ibrox?

[DelijaZauvjek]

NOPE!
I said that Fiorentina will win eventually. I didn't say where they would win =D
At home or away. They play no different either way.

[Andygers]

If they play no differently home or away then I am very confident that we will win.

Anyway, a message to all the bears out there:

KEEP THE FAITH, WE WILL DO THIS!!!!!!!!

[ulster21]

We need to come out attacking...we can not simply wait around for the counter attack....If Fiorentina scores first they will bunker down and it will be very difficult to score

[Andygers]

If we come out attacking we will be mauled by this lot, they strive on teams coming out and having a go against them. Everton tired going two up and got destroyed against them.

I trust Walter and I trust the team, so lets hope they go out and prove people wrong.

This game has gone in cycles, first 10 minutes very uncomfotable, 10-25 minutes very good, 25-35 uncomforatble and last 10 minutes good again.

I pray that we get to the final, it would be a shame to lose out now.

Congrats to Rangers...
Fiorentina totally declassed them the whole game but Rangers fought through and played defense the whole time..
Penalties are always 50/50 percent. You can be Italy or Germany..It doesn't matter who. 50/50 on Penalties...

I'm just glad Kuzmanovic didn't miss. The blame isn't on him lol

VIERI?
OMG
Is this guy seriously on the squad this year?
First thing for fiorentina is get rid of him.
Mutu might be leaving and Frei is a WORLD CLASS goalkeeper. If anyone watches Serie A you would know what I am talking about. =D

Good game though and I'm going to go with Zenit on this one.
Anyone that can beat Bayern 4-0 must be ***king crazy lol


ANDY just one thing.. lol
When your Capitain missed the penalty what was your reaction?
Did your heart stop working? lol

[())__Green__))>]

wow fiorentina were just pressing and pressing like crazy
after the first save frey did, wow.. it was just world class
but the rest scored and rangers are going to the finals baby!

rangers have to now face zenit who destroyed Bayern 4:0.. and they cant make the same mistakes that Bayern made, because as Zenit showed.. 1 mistake will cost you a goal, but Rangers will prevail and win the Cup ;)

i know what you are talking about, frey is the shit and should be no 1 in france

[())__Green__))>]

lol delija only said that fiorentina would win tonight so that he can watch kuzmanovic in the finals

Papac was amazing tonight, he scored the penalty as well.. Rangers, ill see you in the finals!

i am pretty sure that someone will buy Papac by the end of the season because he has just been amazing throughout the whole season, stopping Messi and others! WOW!

I am really glad our boy Papac scored such a safe and nice PK. Played a very good match. Novo was just pure class, he even pressured Fiorentina with Cousin down. Props to him indeed. Zenit is going down. I am very sure Rangers will bring the cup home. A big success for all of Scotland..except those Celtic fans but whatever. :lol:

Congrats all rangers fans, I'll do links for videos

congrats to nermin who predicted the 0:0 full time and Rangers going through by penalties..

everyone has been underestimating you this whole season and thats the good part, now go out and show them what you have been doing all this time that got you this far.. one more game and you're champs :first:

Rangers pretty much did the Rope-a-dope on Fiorentina. :lol:

[DelijaZauvjek]

lol Cousin is really stupid.
Why would you do that at the end of the game?
Come on now lol

Ado, Fiorentina has always been one of my favorite clubs from Italy..

1. Inter Milan
2. Lazio
3. Juventus
4. Fiorentina

My favorite clubs from Italy. It's my favorite league anyway. =D

Mutu was kind of dead today? If he scored today, it would have proven that he is a World Class striker this year. Well, today he dissapointed and I don't think he's World Class..At least in my opinion.
On the other hand Frei is amazing.

Rangers-Zenit will be a good ass game.
Zenit plays unusual football.
They attack without even thinking. They have a good team defense but attack with everyone. I don't know if Rangers will be able to beat them after what they did to Bayern(favorite)... not even Fiorentina would have beaten them lol

Papac played pretty good.. Not best player on pitch..
BUT I LOVED HIS PENALTY
It was just so calm, cool, and collect.
He didn't even think about it. Without a doubt the best penalty taken.
Vieri's was second best =D
haha

[BessiMIX]

ye good preict by nemin for FT

[DelijaZauvjek]

I picked 2-1 for Fiorentina for the reason thinking that Rangers would play more open. They shut down fully and didn't allow any chances. Fiorentina had a million chances and couldn't convert due to good defense. Mainly the Center Backs in the middle.

[Vic]

Congrats to all Rangers fans. I hope you guys win the whole thing :)
