GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Theres fuck all impressive about our recent European record, no matter how you paint it. Success for this club means WINNING, not scraping into the last 8 of the Champions League."scraping" into the last eight of the champions league wouldn't be an achievment....history and resources available say that's nonsense.

WVB 2,560 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 "scraping" into the last eight of the champions league wouldn't be an achievment....history and resources available say that's nonsense.An achievment does not equate to a success. You celebrate success. I cant see many flags being sold saying "RFC - quarter-finalists". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud72 117 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Walter certainly became more defense minded over the years.I remember in 1996,in Zurich,a Rangers team containing legends Laudrup, Gaza, Albertz,Coisty,Goram,Gough,McCall and Durie were torn apart by Grasshoppers.At that time players and management were critical of certain players not playing to orders.I think latterly Walter's teams were always well disciplined, if nothing else.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 As a club we have massively underachieved in europe, it isn't just a Walter smith problemCorrect. Smith's first spell and Advocaat's millions should have seen us progress a lot further than we did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 There is room for improvement with our European record, but with our financial restraits in recent years then we have done remarkably well for ourselves.I am actually extremely excited at the prospect our side in Europe next season, especially with Jelavic leading the line!

nvager 498 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We have had our ups and downs.Kaunas was an unmitigated disaster. To get to Manchester with the players we had was a fantastic achievement.Overall though our record and performances in the CL has been so very poor recently.
