Official 3rd Qualifying Round - Rangers v Servette

[Ferrybear73]

Not great. Whereas we have a habit of slapping Belgians about.

Time to change that !

 

[Uncle Albert]

Rebooked brussels to geneva

Coming home from paris to Edinburgh

 

[Michael Mols]

Them.playing a120 minutes of football with 10 men, is great news for us, get this game put to bed on Tuesday.

Would think they’re going to be more match sharp than us. We need to see signs of clicking as a team on Saturday.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

 

[RFC81]

Nae bother. Think we'll progress!

 

[Alfie shhh!]

I think we'll destroy Servette quite easily then face Marseille, who are getting pumped at home to Leverkusen currently. Might be getting ahead of myself but we're qualifying this year :shh:

 

[dh1963]

Reminds me of the strange stat that Derek Johnstone was only sent off twice in well over 500 competitive Rangers appearances. And they were in the only 2 games he played in Switzerland.

 

[Ulsterbear97]

Just booked:
Dublin - Geneva
Geneva - London - Belfast

near doubled in price since this morning when I had a look

 

[sulabear]

How many tickets expected for Servette then? Think the accommodating Swiss will offer up more than the minimum seeing as its a 30,000 seater and they have no fans?

 

[tr0211]

Will be a lot of folk raging after pulling the trigger on booking Belgium. Really excited for this one next week. Think we have an excellent chance here.

Thanks mate. Didn't think I'd get to see this til it went live. Looks like there will be some buy I imagine they'll go quick.

 

[Haining84]

Are Genk any good?

No they’re f**king sh!te.

 

[Andrew webb]

Marseille lose to Greeks in next round hopefully.

 

[Chris01]

Marseille lose to Greeks in next round hopefully.

Marseille are building a cracking team made some great signings

But the Greeks won’t be easy

 

[RFC56]

As I said in the other thread, both teams looked very shite. Should be an easy enough passage through to the next round.

 

[CoopersLeftPaw]

Let’s do this mob Rangers, need to hit the ground running this season.

We should never be on the back foot

 

[OrangeBufalo]

Servette will be hard to break down but I thought that Genk were poor considering all the ball they had, they done very little.

Genk was the trickier tie for us based on their style of play.

No excuses now, we should be beating Servette over 2 legs.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Into these napkin bastards

 

[stooler]

Playoff draw Monday 7th August

Rangers/Servette v Panathinaikos/Marseille or PSV/Sturm Graz

Easily

 

[Highway Star]

Not great. Whereas we have a habit of slapping Belgians about.

After watching both legs, I fancy us strongly against this Swiss mob.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Playoff draw Monday 7th August

Rangers/Servette v Panathinaikos/Marseille or PSV/Sturm Graz

Very much hope it’s the latter.

 

[Kit_]

We should get Ced The Ted on the phone for some pointers but either way I fancy our chances.

 

[The third Kray twin]

Nae bother. Think we'll progress!

The word is “advance” mate. Nae using that word when talking about Europe, regardless of spelling

 

[bwj2246]

Hope the club see sense and get the UB/BC into the Copland for this one.

 

[Theblueyin]

Who are the teams in the next round?

Anybody?

 

[the_ref]

Wednesday.

Don't be a defeatist mate, we can get it done the day before

 

[Now and forever]

If we can't beat Servette we should be nowhere near the CL.

I think we'll be fine.

[pandager1]

Cracking result for Servette, considering the early sending off.

I would make us favourites to get through this tie, but the PO round is going to be very tough with the amount of new signings we have and lack of fit centre halves.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

I agree with your first point but I take nothing for granted. Let's face it until Saturday we don't know how we perform competitively. People saying they think we will blow them away, based on what so far ?

I'd be very hopeful they'll be fit in three weeks

 

[Kingdom Bear]

From what I’ve seen so far we are no where near ready for these games ….hope I’m wrong

 

[smittbox7]

Stupid question but do the 7 yellow cards carry over? I.E would they be suspended for the return leg if they get booked at Ibrox?

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Reminds me of the strange stat that Derek Johnstone was only sent off twice in well over 500 competitive Rangers appearances. And they were in the only 2 games he played in Switzerland.

Maybe he just hated the collaborators.

 

[Shotas_Dance_Teacher]

Tam Buffel will be raging! He was a cert to be in the tv studio next week.

 

[Dynamo_Queef]

As i said Servette have a guy named Pflücke who played for my local team a couple of Years ago and was not even a regular starter. Lets have them Rangers!

 

[RFCRyan]

Always comes too early for us a feal but we should put them away.

 

[Bishyboy]

Pretty sure it’s 3 bookings for a suspension.

 

[Biniaro11]

Personally beating Marseille would be a nice bit of revenge, cheating ba••••ds!

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Should be able to tap up big Helander for some info.

 

[stumac]

Should be able to tap up big Helander for some info.

He known for his knowledge of Swiss football?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Pretty sure it’s 3 bookings for a suspension.

Think that’s correct:

In case of repeated cautions:

1. before the group stage, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after three cautions, which did not result in a red card, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc.)

 

[cooperman]

A bit worried just because our record against Swiss teams ain’t great, but then if we can’t beat them over 2 games then we don’t deserve to be in the CL

 

[Matt22]

Anyone that booked easy jet flights for Genk. You can process a refund on the live chat (with cancellation fees) to recoup some money back. Think the booking has to be made less than 24 hour ago. Hopefully helps a few out.

 

[Miko's Warm Up]

It'll be interesting to see the UCL squad for this and who makes the cut. Confident but we'll need a bit of luck. Hopefully we can get through.

 

[scottmac]

Got birmingham to geneva 230, jumped up from about 180 when booking. Thankfully get 90% voucher back from gotogate for the brussels flights so use that for the next round.

Just booked a hotel at the airport, hotel prices are wild in the city centre.

 

[Hilly5411]

Good excuse to bring Senderos back into the RTV studio imo

 

[Molly Sugden's Bridesmaid]

As i said Servette have a guy named Pflücke who played for my local team a couple of Years ago and was not even a regular starter. Lets have them Rangers!

No one likes a name dropper!

 

[DRAGO]

Personally beating Marseille would be a nice bit of revenge, cheating ba••••ds!

I get the sentiment but not really comparable. Cunts!
