I am just depressed. Everything just fell apart. I just don't think it's fair but I won't complain. We were soooo close!!!!!! And to see how the rest of you are acting has sickened me. When your team gets defeated no one makes fun of you so why make fun of us? Anyways, great play by Man Utd. At least they tried. HATS OFF to you Leverkusen, win the champions league.:)

Don't sweat it manufan, United did well to get this far and Leverkusen are a top side - top of a group that had Arsenal and Deportivo, and knocked out Liverpool - no shame in United losing to them.

Amazing to see Keane back - and he scored a goal.

2 CLEARANCES OFF THE LINE! It feels so unfair. I know Bayer are a good team, but I think we deserved to go through today. The first 'clearance' was probably a goal, but it's all over now.

damn. now all i hope is that the Manchester - Arsenal game is a better result than today.

yeah i see the game, you didnt deserve to go through, and you even had the ref on your side. And Rangers have already reached that level:rolleyes: , infact we even beat Leverkusen in Germany a couple of years ago:mambo: so you keep dreaming about your fluke CL victory.

Manchester United at least made it this far. They played their hearts out even with 2 (not just 1, but 2) of their most important players out with injury, Beckham AND Gary Neville. most teams would have just rolled over and died.

If we had not had 2 play Deportivo who were blatantly out to get all of our players, especially Beckham!!

This is not a whinge, but simply a facts statement. I will admit we were outclassed unfortunately in the games. However, that Danish bel-end of a ref came back to haunt us english again!! He is a disgrace, the commentator was appauled by the decisions he made. It would have been a different semi-final had becks, Neville and keano been fully fit for both legs.

Anybody think it was a bit weird that one team doesn't win the leauge or anything, then all of a sudden goes straight to a champions leauge final and almost winning the leauge??

Yes, Man Utd were second wen they qualified for the Champions league and wont it!!

I've beaten much smarter ppl in arguments than you, so i wouldn't start you prick!"!

I think you're the one just tryin 2 get a cheap laugh cos they'res a team gone out. But lets see how far you got this season, CIS cup?? so were there actually any decent teams in that? QF Uefa cup?? how **** is that!! And no league! So shuv that up ur dumbass scottish arse!!

And glory hunting, is that why ur a Rangers fan then is it??:confused:

Are you really proud to dominate that tiny country of scotland, with about only 2 teams ever winning ur crappy league??

genesis

What a disappointing result, Man U did try, and they went ahead thru Roy Keane.
One slip of defence work, Bayern got the equaliser.

However, Bayern had done well undoubtfully, but we also had couple of chances on the goal line. For me, the first one from Johnsen, already across the line before Ze Roberto cleared it out. Football is like this, sometimes full of controversial.

Man U should look forward now against Arsenal this Thursday.

there is a reason Celtic and Rangers tried to join the Premiership.... one is more money, another is the scottish league is garbage. its a 2 team league. i wouldn't be proud of winning that.

rangers are a top team on a second tier league. Manchester United have been the top team on one of the top 3 leagues in the world.

Talking about Glasgow Rangers, their achievement seemed to be limited only in Scotland itself. In Europe, they hardly made an impact.

In fact, Rangers are not in the same class with Man U.
Even in the computer simulation soccer games, they are only categorized in B or C class.

So, compare Rangers with Man U is no fair.

Glasgow maybe the final destination of Champpions League this season, but the team of this city still got a long way to go.

your american what the **** would you know about football anyway? your a glory hunter. the scottish cup is worth a lot more than "The F.A. Cup":rolleyes: and we happen to be undefeated against English sides in europe:D we`ve been one of the most successful british sides ever, winning more trophies and beating bigger sides than man u ever will. i remember the year we won the cup winners cup, bayern munich were the best team at the time, and we absolutely ****ed them.

i would be more proud winning the ****ing welsh league than i would winning the Premiership, competitve? so what? 10 old men walking around a running track would also be competitive.:rolleyes:

and what exactly is a second tier league? didnt celtic beat you 4-3 this season? at old trafford? and didnt we beat you 1-0? the very year before you won the CL?:mambo:

Now, maybe the situation does not looked good for Man U, maybe Man U will end with empty-hands, but if Fergie can solve the defence problem, I'm sure we can achieve further and better in the next season.

u can talk all about cheap wins... fact of the matter is that when it is all said and done, manchester United will STILL be regarded as one of the better teams in the world and Rangers will not.

its funny that u ACTUALLY THINK the scottish league is better than the Premeirship.

how many European Trophies have rangers won recently? or even been a real threat for? i can talk about trophies won 5-10 years ago, and games won just as long ago...
(and didnt we beat you 1-0? the very year before you won the CL?) as u elegantly put it.

manchester United has won trophies since they won the CL final. i would still like to count the CL trophies that rangers have won.........

lol, I almost shetted in my pans when Butt came out to get the ball but missed it, and then that Uruguayan guy tried to lob him, but Placente came to rescue. It kinda reminded me of the '99 final. Both teams had a lot of chances, it could have gone either way. I think the defending was poor because of the slippery pitch. All in all, Bayer had a harder road to get to the final. And that's why they deserved it.

They had to get past all of these teams to make it to the final:

Barcelona (semi-final, unprobable final)
Lyon (second in France, one point behind first)
Arsenal (leading Premiership)
Juventus (second in Italy, one point behind first)
Deportivo (Third in Spain, 3 points behind Madrid)
Liverpool (3rd in Premiership, 2 points behind ManU)

and of course ManU.

ManU finished second to Deportivo in the first phase of the group stage, and Bayern was the only other "good" team that they had to face before again playing against Deportivo. You could argue about how good Boavisto is, but they were clearly behind both Bayern and ManU.

What I'm trying to say is that, not the team with the better players advanced, but the team who had a tougher road to get there. And if you still don't think that Leverkusen is a good side, then I got nothing to say.

I didn't watch the actual match.
Why was the pitch slippery?
Was the match played in the rain or something?

I don't know why. When Keane scored his goal, Zivkovic slipped while trying to get to the ball. Keane would have never gotten to the ball if Zivkovic hadn't slipped. Also, Blanc slipped when Neuville scored.

Can't stop the rush...

Its good to see an underdog make it all the way to the final and take 2 english scalps along the way ;)

Leverkusen focus on attacking football and fully deserve their place in the final. Personally i hope they go all the way :D
