We were shit in the first half. No doubt. But that was an utterly freak first goal. 
Going 1 nil down inside 22 seconds is a total game changer. It allows them to sit back and soak up whatever we can muster. Which wasn’t a lot granted but with a goal in their pocket the pressure is completely off them and all on us. That totally changes the dynamic. 
 
Gutted with a draw and feel they have the advantage now. But it is very hard to read too much into the whole thing given that freakish goal and the total lottery of an accidental ball to elbow penalty. one of the weirdest OF’s I have seen. 
 


 
 

Mentality 

I found it interesting the chat before kick off that if Scotland falls out side the top 10 tonight then next season the champions of Scotland will not get automatic entry to the Champions league.
 
Unless the champions of Scotland are Rangers because we qualify based on our club coefficient. 
 
 

Well, everyone else in Scottish football have done fuck all in Europe for over 20 years to merit getting automatic entry into any UEFA competition to be fair.

I understand that. Just saying that on TV it clearly stated that the club coefficient would mean that if we win the league in 2025, we would automatically qualify for CL. They probably got it wrong. But that’s what they said. 

If we had a clinical striker we'd have won that game tonight 

Convinced we have a bunch of tarriers on here... how anyone can be blaming the manager for the loss over two legs is beyond mental.... That was fucking Benfica ,... their budget dwarfs ours.... we gave a real good account of ourselves and a couple of breaks we could have gone through this tie. PC is a miracle worker with some of the players he has had to work with .... 
 
Gutted to be out but win this league, get in the Cham league and give PC all the money we can possibly scrape together

I don’t see why some of our fans need someone to blame. I’m not gonna blame anyone for that tonight. We got beat by 1 goal over two legs by a decent European team whilst we have a depleted squad. A win tonight would have been tremendous but unfortunately it wasn’t to be. We’re top of the league, in the cup semi finals and have the league cup already under our belts. I’d have give my left bollock to be in this position back in September. Tonight was a step too far but the treble is definitely on.

Brilliant post.

Snap. I'm the same. Fucking proud of this Manager and this team.

Ridvan is brilliant 

One of Tav’s best defensive performances I can remember.
Souttar has been excellent too.
