A year ago today...

[Malkytfp1 18,801]

I watched this with my wee boy and my auld boy. Everyone of us were in baws of tears at the end of the game. I still get goosebumps watching this back. That full night me and my dad were telling my wee guy the magnitude of what we done whilst sitting up late getting pished on a school night and letting him stay up and watch videos of Rangers from the past whilst reading all the articles from around the world about our achievement in getting to a major European final. That's what fitba does.

Last month I lost my da. Whatever the fuck happens I'll always have that night and with or without him passing, you try and tell me this means fuck all 🙂

I still feel gutted that we never won the final in Seville but the unbelievable times we had on that crazy run were unforgettable. Ibrox absolutely bouncing against Braga and Liepzig stick out for me like I'm sure they do everyone else.

I'll take the moment that Aribo put us 1-0 up in the final to my grave. Complete and utter euphoria surrounded in the pub with my mates.

I can’t watch that

Aribo’s goal in Seville is the happiest moment of my life. Euphoria.

as much as it was brilliant, I honestly couldn’t really enjoy the match after it as I knew we had one hand on the trophy but deep down sadly I knew it was only one hand 

[Bydo 3,287]

The best moment I’ve ever had at Ibrox, hands down. The elation knowing that we had made it, and that I already had a ticket as we got two in the UEFA ballot was just incredible. I walked back to my motor in a state of shock and euphoria. 

Of course fast forward a couple of weeks and the feeling after Aribo scored tops it, but the devastation of not winning the final still chokes me. Straight back on a bus to the airport, the most subdued flight I’ve ever had the misfortune of being on.

Sorry to hear that about your old man mate

Was one of the greatest nights in the club's history that we all got to witness live. Mental if that means nothing to you.

It’s really not.

Best night ever plus the 2 week build up was superb.

Only cringe if you weren’t actually there

Makes it worse knowing we were so close to winning it, still feels too raw considering what's happened this season. 

After Manchester we dominated domestically for the following 3 years, but the comedown from Seville has been monumentally depressing.

Not sure how any of that means it meant nothing.

Can't watch it yet. Still fucking ruins me that we didn't win it. 

I'll comeback to it all some day and watch it all, but I've said that about 2008s final too, and I've never seen that game or highlights since.

I've not rewatched a single second of it no replays nothing. Saw it only with my own eyes. No recollection of "Goldson's mistake" or how close Kent was at the end.

I will sit and watch it one day, maybe not be as sore after the one year anniversary.

@Malkytfp1 Cheer up mate, sorry about your loss.

Some sound advice there on getting over the grief of losing a parent....

Bet he wishes he'd have thought of that before 👍

My mate had a party for the game and I genuinely nearly passed out from bouncing about and screaming. My head started pounding and I went dizzy. I've never felt anything like that before in sport.

Cried like fuck for the next 5 minutes after it, genuinely couldn’t stop

[Inigo 32,732]

Best footballing night of my life. 

Used to be Leeds, Marseilles, all the old OF games of the late 80s and early 90s, the Edu late goal winner and the Sheep in 91 that I'd have called the best atmospheres, but it's Leipzig I say now. 

Definitely bitter-sweet now though, for a few reasons.

[superallysbears 7,879]

Then you compare it to how we're feeling today

Can't watch anything to do with that European run. I still get dreams that we win that final. Pure heartbreak.

The period walking around Seville after losing was genuinely one of the lowest I've ever felt in my life. 

[STEPPS BOY 75,161]

My best night at Ibrox.

Me and my two boys there and think we all shed a tear.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 11,395]

Specky’s reeled a few in on the first page.

At least presume that’s what he’s done, not read the next two to see if he was actually being serious.

[The Hammer 11 2,673]

Honestly that night is what it’s all about being a rangers fan ,  will live long in my memory but I still think braga at home was slightly better for noise during the game there was more tension during the Leipzig game as we were on the cusp of a final

Bollocks. Nothing will ever top that night at Ibrox. 

[DiamondDan 2,386]

Look at the faces. Only a lottery win could bring that feeling of joy to you.

I dont view coming second in anything as an achievement. 

We didn't come 2nd against Red Bull at home. What the fuck are you talking about?

Its not really that difficult to figure out what the fuck im talking about. 

[BlueVanguard 7,088]

Couldnt attend the game that night due to being away on a family holiday and my daughter wanted to watch the game with me.

What a fucking night by the way.
