Two nil. It's over.

Tekke looked like he may be offside, but it hardly makes a difference. They were gonna win anyways.

[TheRossWalker]

It's over.

[Evafreak]

Game over ah well better luck next time

[IAceI]

Ah no. Tekke wasn't offside, first contribution he's made in the game except be offside.

[Crybaby Bunting]

You know the second goal featured the most lifeless "it's all over" from the commontators compared to every little chip that was screamed

[METALMAN]

I don't say this much, but it's a shame Rangers lost.

[IAceI]

Don't think the Rangers fan need to boo the Zenit fans coming onto the pitch. I mean, I've never seen a group of supporters with more fantastic abs than them.

Better than the British chavs ¬_¬

[The Quasi Juice]

Not like the Rangers were the favourites anyways so, no surprise this.

[IAceI]

Rangers done well to get to the final. We know. Can we now have a little discussion about Zenit winning the fucking thing?

[FireDoughnut]

It's Britain tonight in the UEFA Cup apparently but it's England next week in the Champions League.

They will change that to Scotland tonight now.

English media considers all Scottish sports teams and players to be British when they're winning, and Scottish when they're not.

Ironic, since Man United and Chelsea are owned by an American and a Russin, managed by a Scotsman and an Israeli, and probably struggle to get a team full of Englishman between them.

You can say what you like about Rangers tactics, but it got them to the UEFA Cup Final and they gave it a damn good shot. Sure, Zenit had more of the good chances, but Rangers held them off until the last 15-20 minutes and even played some good passing during the game. They've nothing to be ashamed of, they did very well.

But in the end, Zenit were the better team on the day and they've had a brilliant run in the competition too. Deserved winners and well done to them.

And nice to see the mutual respect between the teams as Rangers go up to collect their medals.

[britneyspearsisgod]

Considering the Zenit fans are pretty racist, it makes me sad Rangers lost. Still, Dick Advocaat has a good team and is a quality manager. They were beaten by the better team.

Still, they did proud to get there in the first place. Well done Rangers.

So... City won, Rangers lost... I get the feeling my support for a team is like a bullet to the head

[METALMAN]

I was hoping my boy Kris Boyd could win it for them.

Yeah, 3rd choice keepers and Steve Sidwell count of course. Fair enough, but my other points stand.

[ONO]

Congratulations Zenit. When they put moves together, like the two goals they were superb.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Anyone know what that funky russian music was that was playing when Zenit were recieving their medals?

That's definately going on a GTA playlist >_>

Foster is 2nd choice; he just recovered from death of some really bad surgery...

[Scott McFly]

Is that why Kuszczak was on the bench against Wigan?

[therockbox]

Yeah because it's really clever to bring a player straight back from a long term injury.

[Scott McFly]

The only game he's ever got for United was when Van Der Sar was injured and Kuszczak was suspended. I'd hardly call that second choice.
