What's the worst that could happen? I mean, we can continue taking occasional humiliations off utter dross such as Partick Thistle, popping up in the premiership only to get papped back down again or we can hop aboard Giovanni’s European locomotive and steamroll everyone in sight.

Sign me up. Di Stefano comes back Im changing teams. Ive upmost respect for someone so passionate that he tracked me from my old twitter to phone my work to speak to me about his plans to reinvest in Dundee and transform Scottish football. Sadly he was jailed soon after. Sure his company sounded like Internazionale.

In my opinion this ultimately sets clubs up for failure when they make that step in to Europe, they don’t have an effective style to play at that level. I know I didn't just see a Rangers supporter, whose team's tactics in their run to the Europa League final last season (and the Champions League so far this season) amounted to 'let's get them back to Ibrox and scare the opposition with a loud crowd', just try to call other Scottish clubs tactically naïve in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it tactically naive if it has genuinely worked in every single example you have just referenced?

HibsFan Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I suppose that's true. I wasn't trying to say that this 'tactic' of van Bronckhorst's hasn't been devastatingly effective. I'm just questioning whether it might be down to pressuring the referee, assistants and VAR officials into decisions which benefit Rangers, as well as some frankly satanic levels of fortune that have gone your way in that European run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been devastatingly effective under van Bronckhorst ? It has worked every time he has used it and got us to a final mate how much more effective can it be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Absolute European juggernaut of the last decade, Aberdeen. That's what everybody says.And don’t you forget it.Not like an Edinburgh club to gain an advantage in Europe on the back of the Dons’ hard work (we haven’t forgiven you for 1955 Hibees). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piorek Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Might not be a perfect solution but how about trying to slightly even things up by sharing all tv and sponsorship money equally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never. Never. Never. It's a good and realistic idea, that would still allow the OF to have utterly colossal financial advantages. However, both clubs would act in concert to resist it and they'd have the full support of their fans in doing so. Despite what they claim, the last thing either would want would be even a very slightly fairer fight. This is how they want their football to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Dropping two points in stoppage time at Easter road means we’re probably now looking at 37 years sorry about that 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
