Popular Post Jimfanciesthedude 24,479 Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Twice ive seen us in a euro final, manchester as much as losing was hurtful, i thought it was a step too far back then, zenit were a tremendous side, we were out on our feet and tbh our run was about trying to simply nick a goal Tonight though was massively different, went into it thinking this is the best chance that I'll have to see us win a euro trophy, we were top scorers in the tournament i think and it was all seemingly clicking into place for us To lose and lose the way we did is truly fucking heartbreaking, not just the penalties but the way the occasion seemed to hit the players, even guys like Jack and lundstram were subdued in the middle when defending, Just fucking devastated, Bobby Hume, delparlane, jintybear and 27 others 30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KingKirk 25,595 Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Heartbroken but immensely proud Let's be honest tonight we where miles off it but a can't believe Kent hasn't burst the net with that chance in the last minute.

Popular Post The Godfather 71,647 Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Aye we all could post the same Jim. It's done now and nothing can change it. The fact we are talking about losing a European Final on penalties is absurd though. Football isn't set up for teams like us to get to that stage. Shite we couldn't do it but glad we gave it a go Those nights in Dortmund and Ibrox will live in our kids memories, not many clubs have them mind. corbyloyal84, BlueVanguard, J-Maestro and 28 others 31 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is we didn’t just lose on penalties, we lost to five near perfect penalties. You don’t see that very often these days and that almost makes it worse.

BlueThunder 8,452 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 We are all heartbroken, and in some ways it would have been easier to have been beaten 3-0 in normal time. However despite our lack of cohesive play for parts of the 90 we were about 20 mins away from winning it, then a few inches away from winning it in the dying embers of ET. The team dug deep despite the problems and we so nearly made it. A slightly sliced connection or someone not on the post for the follow up and we are all celebrating our greatest European triumph. Those are the margins. HG5, SteveEarle, 32Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDB14 2,760 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 What makes it all the more frustrating for me is that it felt like a really winnable game if only Morelos or Roofe could have started. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Colombian almost hit his shot straight at Shagger’s hand. As I say, small margins.

GaryStevens02 148 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I THOUGHT they made their subs to bring in lesser players, we had better players than the starting 11 to bring on from the bench but waited too long to make the changes Albertz Nipple Ring and shandy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hit it straight aye but it's low the only way trapp can save it is by sticking a leg out and praying. Kent hits it perfectly it's a wonderful save.

BoydsFavouriteDonut 230 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 So disappointing. Not the time to be slagging players or second guessing the manager. Thought they all emptied themselves. Combination of games, heat, the lack of a natural match fit striker all had an impact I think. Still took it to pens. Probably won’t see that again. But I said that after 2008 so we’ll see what happens. I was convinced we were winning that. Totally different last time. This is worse. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
