Ahaha, they eventually beat that widely feared Portuguese team, Maritimo, on penalties.

Good stuff.

Good good, always nice to have as many GB teams in Europe as possible.

Haha, Hearts did better than them. 5-3 against Braga, who are actually better than Maritimo.

Braga being seventh and Maritimo being second?

Yeah, we should have humped them though, but their goaly was TOO good.

Brage did get a draw with Porto last weekend and beat Benfica the week before. At least, it was something like that, got it off a Hearts fan at school.

Man Utd 5th, Everton 3rd.
Milan 4th, Messina/Lecce 3rd/2nd
Roma 13th, Udinese, Cagliari, Bologna, Reggina, Palermo, Chievo - All above.

You're telling me that means anything?

It's about 3 games into the season in Portugal, which really doesn't give an accurate representation as the season hasn't really started properly at all yet. Last season, Braga finished 5th, and Maritimo 7th in the Portuguese League. Therefore, my statement about them being the better team is justified. Rangers have only just gone ahead of Aberdeen and Kilmarnock, and this is the 7th week of SPL football. They're not better teams than Rangers.

Face it, Rangers are going nowhere in Europe if a victory over Maritimo on penalties is the best they can do. I'm not saying Hearts are going anywhere, but they scored five goals to Rangers' one in this round of fixtures. Against a proven better team.

Hopefully they can prove me wrong. I'd like another Scottish team to make an impression on Europe. But I just can't see it happening, as Rangers right now look crap. Seriously.

Rangers lack a creative midfielder, Burke is decent enough but too much is expected off him when he has had very little experience. They need someone who can provide Prso and Novo with a quality final ball which at the moment is never there.

Best thing about scottish footy at the moment is martin o'neill whenever celtic loose. :-)
other than that its rather balls.

Aye, they're crap, I'm not disagreeing there, but they could have beaten Maritimo by so much more if their goaly was a bit more retarded.

What was with the commentators? MarItimo. Not to mention Dado Prusho.

leeds played Maritimo back in the day, and we also had to go through on penalties.

This was about '97, though.
