Rangers and Chelsea is the pairing the forum wants allright

Bandage · August 31, 2018, 11:40am

Celtic, Salzburg, Leipzig, Rosenberg.

A whiff of Lutheranism about that draw.

We’ll have played Rosenberg six times in the last 18 months.

how underwhelming is that…

Piles_Hussain · August 31, 2018, 1:49pm

Olympiakos, AC Milan and Real Betis is a tough draw for FC91. With all the best will in the world, it’s hard to see us progressing any further.

Your man Will O’Callaghan on Newstalk sport said Chelsea had been drawn with Powk. I was wondering who the fuck he was on about

the_man_himself · August 31, 2018, 3:38pm

That’s the correct pronunciation

Ashman · September 20, 2018, 5:32pm

Glasgow Rangers are utter utter dross based on the 15 minutes I have seen of their game . A chap Coulson looks a pub player .

anon78624367 · September 20, 2018, 5:39pm

is it not P-A-O-K… jesus I’d have made a holy show of myself if I was ever in Greece

Think it’s the centre back Connor Goldson. He looks shite alright, but Rob MacLean just said he’s been excellent this season. There’s another hammer thrower beside him called Worrell or something.

Ashman · September 20, 2018, 5:43pm

Ya , Goldson that’s him . Worrell looks like a bull in a china shop .

the_man_himself · September 20, 2018, 5:54pm

Hipster European football types like James Horncastle and Andy Brassell say Powk anyway. I’d say either is fine

the_man_himself · September 20, 2018, 5:56pm

How’s Cazorla looking? Big step up for Rangers in fairness

Ashman · September 20, 2018, 6:02pm

A bit heavy . Didn’t see much of the game , 20 mins at most .

Julio_Geordio · September 20, 2018, 6:04pm

Bordeaux 3/1 away to Slavia Prague tonight. Bordeaux a shambles in the French league apparently, and away from home but still 3/1 looks tasty

WOOF!

Sevco have equalised twice now. Villarreal were battering them at 1-0 but they scored on the break from their first attempt. Villarreal scored again almost immediately but Lafferty just finished a great team move.
