teddybear1975 got a reaction from GA1972 in Dessers
Not scored in 5 or something is it… anybody who’s not a little concerned with our options upfront at the business end of the season has their head in the sand. I only hope others continue to chip in with goals as we’ll need them.

Disappointing to go out. Lot of fight and work rate but little quality upfront. As good as Benfica were on the ball they have a soft centre we didn’t have the quality to expose. Onwards and upwards domestically 👍

teddybear1975 reacted to JWAC in Really nice post about Dujon Sterling from his agent on linkedin
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7171740870398976001/
I often get asked if I enjoy my work as a Football Agent.
Of course, there are times when it’s incredibly mentally and physically challenging. Much like a player, but in a hugely different context.
But there are times when it’s the best, and I mean the best job in the world. Just like last night:
Benfica v Rangers in Lisbon, last 16 of the Europa League 1st leg - which ended, against the odds, 2-2 with Benfica coming from behind twice (with two gifted goals from Rangers).
Dujon Sterling, who as many know, I have looked after for 9 years since 15 years old, scored his first senior goal in 137 attempts (I’ve probably watched most of those games!) What a goal, what a new memory. An many also know, in 2020, Dujon’s career was so nearly ended by a sudden illness, that kept him out the game for 10 months.
What struck me as it went in, standing on my own amongst 3,500 delirious Rangers fans, was what it meant to so many others.
To Dujon: it was his reward for the battle he won in 2020 and never giving in.
To his Mum: a moment that emotionally rewarded her for the countless hours since he joined Chelsea at 6 years old for her love and support every step (or run) he made.
To the coaches and staff of various clubs/ England (to many to name): a wonderful sense of joy for Dujon knowing his journey and the part they played at some point. My phone went crazy as he scored.
To everyone at Rangers (staff/teammates): it’s a team effort from start to finish and a measure of the hard work put in by all.
To those partners behind the scenes (the boot companies, the lawyers, accountants, concierge, insurance, mortgage advisors, barbers, car salesman (endless list!) who know Dujon.
To the media/ journalists: you know who you are and who have never doubted his ability and spoken about it.
To the fans past and present: an unreal bond through thick and thin. Rangers love him coz he gives 100%. He is an elite talent. The fan next to me last night was drunk with a thick Glaswegian accent. Couldn’t understand a single word for 90 mins but when Dujon scored he jumped on me, hit me in the stomach and kissed me 😂 another very special moment.
To Dujon’s close knit friends, in and out of the game: you never doubted.
To my wife, family, friends: thank you for understanding and being there. Countless messages as the goal went in.
To my other clients/ their families/ colleagues: again loads of messages/calls sharing the happiness of the goal.
Football is the biggest sport in the world. It forms part of the wheel of life for so many, for most of their lives. It’s a tough workplace for all involved.
But moments like last night, make it so, so satisfying….and enjoyable 😉
Have a good day everyone. And never stop believing ⚽️ 💙
P.S. in the 2nd leg next week Benfica will experience Ibrox at its firey best. Can’t wait. ✔️

Don't think the ball stuck well with him at all. Just didn't link well with anyone. Worked really hard, but we'll need to keep the ball a bit better next week so he'll need to improve.

Hear this pish every time right enough. Going back years. One time valencia were "the aberdeen of spain" cos aberdeen had lost their first seven games and valencia had lost 3 in a row. They humped us and went all the way to the final. The "aberdeen of spain" with Mendieta, kily gonzales and claudio lopez playing for them.

Talking of that Barca team, nobody's mentioned Dico.
Disappointing.

thats fair enough mate, i wouldn't knock anyone for having football being their whole life, but it isn't for everybody. I used to be proper obsessed and when my depression hit its hardest we were absolutely shite, so had to find other things to keep me happy. Still love the rangers and go at any opportunity I get & check the scores constantly when I'm not but I'm in a much happier place than I was and doing more with my life now
(all jokes aside, apologies for going a bit deep there)
