    If it was funny or original then I wouldn't mind so much. At least make it a good joke. It's the fact that it's been done to death on Twitter that wound me up.

    But yes, a chance to redeem ourselves and prove people wrong :50:

    Ronny Deila reacting to the #UEL draw: "It’s a good group with some big teams and there will be a lot of exciting games home and away."

    RD on Malmo match: “The word scared is not the right word. We went out and protected something instead of attacking something."

    RD: "We had something to lose instead of something to win."

    RD: “We felt we had something to defend & we lost it, instead of attacking something, so we more on the back foot & looked passive."


    RD: “We looked a bit worried, if that’s the right word. I’m Norwegian not Scottish. "


    RD: "We should be more aggressive and be more on the front foot and that’s a mindset we have to do differently."

    RD: "And what we have done different before this game.


    RD: "I don’t need to clarify anything. We talk about things. Everybody knows what I meant, everybody sees the same things."



    RD: "And everybody agrees our performance wasn’t close to what we can do and we were very disappointed at that."


    RD: “We learn through experiences and there have been a lot of progress but this was a big setback for me, the club and the players."

    RD: "But you can’t feel sorry for yourselves. You have to pick yourself up again. We have another match tomorrow - and I’m ready."

    RD: "We didn’t make one target and we feel sorry for everyone. We understand that so many people love this club and are disappointed."

    RD: "But if you learn from things and you get better. This team has a lot of potential, with lots of young players, & will get better."

    RD: We have so much talent in the team but talent without experience is nothing but now the players are getting that."

    RD: "We know we are such a better team than on Tuesday and this is something we need to show tomorrow and in the future."

    RD: “You can’t say this season is gone and we are not even in September."


    RD: "We are very disappointed as this was a big target for us but we still have so much to go for."

    RD: “And hopefully we can get a run in Europe as well. Everyone knows this about progress and seeing we are going in the right way."

    RD: "Sometimes you get a big hit like we did on Tuesday but we want to get back on track again."

    RD: "It’s everybody’s dream to play in the CL. You could see in the dressing room they wanted it so badly."

    RD :"You could see what it meant to them. We wanted it too much and we were worried about losing it instead of going for it."

    They are dirty * mate but I never ventured too far from the pub, just stayed clear of it all.

    Missed the riot in the city square by about 10 mins. We were in Durty Nelly's, Irish pub just off of it.

    I'd definitely go back. The fact there was supposedly 15k tims there made me feel more at home, too:56:

    If we spend anything much over next few days then I'll be straight down the offy.. I think there will be a net loss come Tuesday . (Cash in rather than spent)

    As a few have pointed out it close to a CL group but we are the ones on spl money and closer to molde than the other two.

    Ferberbahce have spent 28 million so far and Ajax around 11 million..

    Let's see what our board does next few days. :54:

    A group like that kinda softens the blow regarding our CL exit.

    Big clubs,big games,golden opportunity for Ronny and the players to redeem themselves.

    The Europea League seemingly done wonders for the side back in 2011.

    I doubt there will be any away allocation for the Ajax games, too right after they * threw seats and all sorts into the family section and attacked fans in Amsterdam along with the police. Ashame since Amsterdam is a cracking place.

    The board will be happy with that, we'll have at least 2 full houses. Softens the blow a wee bit of losing out on the cl.

    We have a good chance in this group, it will be tough and we definitely need to improve our squad defensively. Maybe a winger as well.

    They have a really good team, they would compete well in most CL groups.

    Last year we closed the top tier, surely we won't be doing this again with this group? We could get two full houses.

    Should for Fener and Ajax.

    Not Molde, though. Be more like 40k.

    That is unless we need to beat them to qualify or something.
