Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. 🥲 #RangersVsMourinho #TheSpecialWan
Google Street View: Spicy Corner in Govan, one of the finest takeaway restaurants on Earth, sustained me after a massive hillwalk last year, and is right opposite a mural of Sir Alex Ferguson that says “AHCUMFIGOVIN” (I come from Govan”).
@ josemourinho .bsky .social How’s it gawn big man, right you’re probably a bit fed up the now, but just a wee tip-off to help the mood: Spicy Corner in Govan. Thank me later.
Oh and it’s got a massive mural of your mate Fergie (the other one) on the wall opposite, cannae miss it. #TheSpecialWan
Above all else, Barry Ferguson defeating Jose Mourinho is a big moral victory for surprisingly short Glaswegian men who sit in their car all week and loudly listen to the GBX #FridayNight tunes (even when they’re not driving anywhere). #TheSpecialWan
Penalty shootout at Ibrox after Mourinho gets a yellow card for drawing a VAR screen in the air.
The funniest night in football history. I telt yeese aw, didn’t I? I telt aw my critics. #TheSpecialWan
BBC live text of the hilarious Rangers vs. Fenerbachę match at Ibrox: “A change to bring you... or is it? Vaclav Cerny was announced to be coming off - having received an extremely vigorous hamstring massage from the Rangers medics - for Danilo. However, when Cerny realised he was about to be subbed he was furious, and Danilo was told to sit back down. Nothing doing.”
Lol what is sacked Clyde manager Barry Ferguson cooking here?
I’ve heard of a player refusing to come off (or go on!), but never seen a manager brick it when someone doesn’t want to come off and cancel the sub. #FergusonVsMourinho #TheSpecialWan
BBC live text: “FULL-TIME Rangers 0-2 Fenerbahce (agg 3-3) We're going to extra-time! Fenerbahce have clawed back the difference thanks to a Sebastian Szymanski double, but we need at least another 30 minutes to separate them. This is a very tense Ibrox.” Underneath it is a picture of Cyril Dessers looking quite stressed and covering his mouth.
Extra time it is! Great. In fact, give us penalties. Trap Mourinho in Govan for the rest of his natural life like Groundhog Day, purely for my amusement. #TheSpecialWan #EuropaLeague
Fenerbachę go 2-0 up on the night and level the tie at 3-3, with extra time beckoning. Mourinho has taken to taunting the staunch Ibrox fanbase, and is also threatening to go pantless for some reason. #TheSpecialWan
Library footage of Jose Mourinho arriving in Govan with his Fenerbachę squad ahead of tonight’s crunch Europa League match with Rangers. #TheSpecialWan
YES!!! HA HA HA!!! YES!!! #RangersVsMourinho #TheSpecialWan
Actually have to drive through Govan tonight, #ForMySins, so I might end up on Edmiston Drive. There’s a nonzero chance I could be within 50yds of Mourinho as he chins a staunch ballboy (who looks like Nathan Patterson for some reason). #TheSpecialWan #EuropaLeague
“Haw Jose, where’s yer team fae?” #AccidentalFamilyFortunes #TheSpecialWan #FergusonVsMourinho
Happy Jose Mourinho At Ibrox Day! #FridayNight🥳 #TheSpecialWan #EuropaLeague
BBC live text: “Who needs Mourinho? FT: Fenerbache 1-3 Rangers Didn’t ever think I’d be using this picture under this heading…” The picture is gruff & staunch ex-Alloa manager Barry Ferguson standing on the touchline in Istanbul, masterminding a ludicrous 3-1 victory over Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbache. Beside him are part-time Sportsound pundits Billy Dodds and Neil McCann, both pointing in the air like a choreographed Bee Gees dance for some reason.
How on Earth has the fud from “Go Radio” managed this?
Is Mourinho just terrified of all managers called Ferguson? Does he not know Barry’s spent the whole season locked in a studio with Paul Cooney and Mark Guidi trying to perfect the exasperated Glaswegian sigh? #FergusonVsMourinho #TheSpecialWan
Jose Mourinho giving an interview after a Chelsea match, and saying, “I prefer really not to speak. If I speak I am in big trouble, in big trouble and I don’t want to be in trouble”.
The 2nd leg at Ibrox next Thursday was always going to be funny, but this makes it funnier.
I want a JoseCam to follow him for the next week doing daily chores like the shopping or the dishes, buckling under the pressure of being humbled by Kelty Hearts’ Barry Ferguson. #TheSpecialWan #EuropaLeague
Jose’s been reading my thread. He knows it would be footballing dynamite if he ever came to Glasgow. #FergusonVsMourinho #TheSpecialWan
Jose Mourinho conducting an interview as Spurs manager, where he says: “I think the yellow card is fair because I was rude.”
Mourinho continues: “But, I was rude to an idiot.”
Just wanted to live long enough to see Jose Mourinho start a rammy at Ibrox tbh. Dreams can come true if you believe and keep achieving! #TheSpecialWan #EuropaLeague
FlashScore: the as-it-stands Europa League table leaves Rangers in 9th and Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbache in 23rd, which would leave a 50% chance of them meeting in the knockout play-off thing.
Omg it’s back on. #EuropaLeague #TheSpecialWan
