yay, the discussion of rules again.

Valencia. Looks like a compound fracture. Oh dear. That was awful.

The match itself is total shit.

Awful match, also showed the huge void between scottish and english football

huge? it was 0-0. and rangers were hardly camped in their own half for 90 minutes.

the gulf no doubt is big, but that game certainly never showed it...

[ampersand]

you think that was an even game and didn't show any big gulf?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

That was some injury but I wouldn't say it was Broadfoot's fault, it was a fair tackle.

Rangers obviously had a game plan and set their stall out from the beginning.

It worked a treat. They defended superbly and therefore worth the point that they gained.

[ampersand]

Well despite Rangers playing 10 men behind the ball most times you would think a team like Man Utd would be able to break them down but nah Wayne Rooney went missing in Davie Weir's back pocket!

didn't see the game, but just seen the Rangers manager on TV say that they planned to camp in their own half and that's exactly what they did. He said it's the only way that weak teams like Rangers can compete with the likes of Utd.

So ampersand knows more about Scottish footie than it's current best manager.

Meanwhile on Sky text letters, Fergie is getting a right slating from Utd fans, with them saying he f**ked up tactically, and that even so Utd are too weak to win anything this year.

I guess the proof of that will come on Sunday. Given Utd's last two not-great results, I expect Liverpool to suffer the heat from that and get a pasting. Then again, Woy has a habit of getting the better of Utd sometimes so it might be an interesting match.

says it all. rangers weren't backs to the wall all game. they had plenty of attacks

As I said, I didn't see the game. But what I have seen is Rangers best shot on target, and frankly my 75 year old mum can kick a ball with more force than that. And she'd run around Utd's back four with more zeal.

equally, you could look at rangers games in the spl and see how many they've conceded. yet they come up against the best in england with what we're told is one of the best strikers in the world. and they keep them quiet. i heard rooneys name about three times all night.

[eFestivals]

the old 'my mum could do better' line. lolz.

tell me i'm speaking shite once you've actually seen what youre disagreing with me about eh neil?

Are you really trying to say that Walter Smith has it wrong, Fergie has it wrong, and the TV pundits have it wrong, and that Rangers made even one worthwhile attack?

Come on then, show me a single worthwhile attack from last night. You're the first to scream for me to provide sources, so match your own words.

I think the fact they played with 10 men behind the ball tells you everything you need to know about the gulf in class.

[eFestivals]

so based on last night's 90 minutes, where is the huge gulf in class?

You have 90 minutes of footage to choose from so show us anything which showed Rangers as able to compete. Show us a Rangers attack.
