Russell Martin's First Rangers Game Tonight on 10:23 - Jul 22 with 732 views | PatfromPoole | It does seem a bit ridiculous that a team can have their most important game of the season a few weeks before the start of their League season. Many a time Celtic or Rangers have ended up selling players (including to us) towards the end of a transfer window as they have already been knocked out of the Champions League. Still, very interesting game. I predict Rangers will get a decent result tonight and Brent will be God. But then they may struggle in the away leg and Brent will not be God. |  |

Whilst it’s ideal to qualify straight into the competition, I loved these sorts of games when we were in them: Vitesse being the highlight. Not quite football season but yet it meant so much. Just don’t talk about Midget Land, Wanyama, and Jay-Rods easy give away. |  | |  |

Vitesse home and away were 2 of the best experiences at football I've ever had. |  |

Seconded. The atmosphere at the home game was brilliant, and the second leg is probably still my favourite ever away game. |  |

Russell Martin's First Rangers Game Tonight on 11:17 - Jul 22 with 620 views | franniesTache | Vitesse away is probably the most drunk i've ever been at a football game, the combination of a night out in Amsterdam the night before and having to start early to get to Arnhem meant that it was close to 48hours of drinking |  | |  |

Yep. Everyone goes on about Milan, but Vitesse away was hands down the best for me. |  |

Be'er Sheeva was the best for me, probably the most of an adventure that i did and Tel Aviv was a cracking place for a drink. I actually really enjoyed Midtjylland (apart from the game) as Aarhus before the game was class and it was f*cking strange basically going to the Danish equivalent of Eastleigh for a european game |  | |  |

I know that, I have seen Panathinaikos play AEK Athens in the Olympic Stadium in Athens which at the time was the home ground for both of them. Away fans were banned in Athens derby games due to a supporter being killed at one of them bizarrely not a football game but after a basketball game between Panathinaikos & Olympiakos So it was a weird atmosphere with half the stadium packed and with fans sitting in the aisles and the other half of the stadium virtually empty |  |

Point of order: Aarhus isn't like Eastleigh. It is the Danish Equivalent of Pompey |  |

I wasn't saying Aarhus was, i was saying Herning was, or at least it seemed like it |  | |  |

Friends tell me I may have been present in Aarhus. My memory of it is a little hazy. As with many other things at the moment, it seems. |  |

Rangers just scored on 51 minutes very much against the run of play |  |

Russell Martin's First Rangers Game Tonight on 21:34 - Jul 22 with 120 views | Southamptonfan | Rangers 2 nil up. Not another manager that succeeds at another club, and only fails at Saints. Surely not 😕 What an earth could be the problem at Saints, that every manager we have does well elsewhere, but fails at Saints. It's beyond me. |  |

I think my personal favourite away trip was Bucharest. As BA hiked the return flights to Heathrow up from £49 to £849 (their website experienced technical difficulties whilst the draw was being made) a group of us flew to Budapest and got a wannabe Orient Express style sleeper train overnight to Bucharest and back the same way. We did a 5 day trip Mon > Fri, had an excellent time in Bucharest, ended up in one of the Ultras dens after the game and lived to tell the tale! We went in to rescue some Dutch Saints fans who obviously hadn’t read the memo about not going in there. Got surprisingly well received all things considered - I think the result helped. Ended up talking to the guy who was banging the drum during the game with the p/a system who started up all the songs. He was telling me about some of the rumbles they’d had with the Dinamo & Rapid ultras over the years. When we got a cab back into the city centre, he came out and spoke to the cab driver to make sure he didn’t rip us off, the poor guy was petrified and refused to take any money for the ride. |  |
