Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If the ref had of given Ferguson that pen in the first half. we would of went into defensive mode properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 4-4-1-1 would have worked better that night.I'm still too annoyed at the cheating french prat who did us out of the Champions League Final.

icrfc 11 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 We hit the end of the road that night.We beat better teams than us all the way through by taking advantage of the home/away set-up.Zenit were a cracking side and it would've taken an immense performance to take home the trophy in a one-off tie.Don't forget they were rested for a full week or 2 before the final whereas we played on the Sunday before I think, but of-course we are the establishment team and always get favours from the authorities Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLightsOfHome 15 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 No, but it was Walter's tactics that got us there so I'm no criticizing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no allowances made whatsoever which would have went a long way towards us having a greater chance of victory but there was absolutely no way they wanted Rangers to win another European trophy before the immigrants. If we were going to do it we knew we were on our own but ultimately this was not quite enough. To get to the final was still an immense achievement for us and one of which I am proud.

Hamie 4,849 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 No, but it was Walter's tactics that got us there so I'm no criticizing.Personally I think it was the sale of Hutton.We were fantastic on the counter and our overlapping play was 2nd to none.When he left I felt we went a bit flat.He was also playing the season of his life hence why we got 9m.

Gaz92 966 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hutton was great but he was away for the UEFA Cup run and Broadfoot imo was pretty good at RB when he came into the side.To be honest 9m looks like a steal now when you consider he has gone on to do fuck all with his career since although I'm sure he's picking up a fortune.I remember being disappointed at the time when Hutton left, thought he was a great outlet. Will always remember him for his Stuttgart performance. But as you said, 9 mil was a shrewd bit of business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
