Rennes 2-1 LCFC (2-3 Agg) Post Match Thread

[Tielemans63]

Getting to like the Europa Conference 

 

* No VAR

* Blood and thunder games

* Both teams going for it

* Great atmosphere

 

Makes a nice change from Premier League football

The premier league is ****ing boring 

[Roazhon]

For those who dispute my point of view, and that of Génésio, as I said, besides the two games against Leicester, the history of Rennes' other games against English clubs, when examined closely, is more that surprising, and raises questions. So after the games against Arsenal and Chelsea, everyone was wondering when other English clubs were drawn, how are we going to get screwed this time🤔? And it was not just the impression of ultras, simple supporters or Bretons! But hey, that's how it is. Now, the VAR (which is not the solution to everything, no doubt), why its absence in a European competition? It's amazing. Otherwise, there were around ten injured Rennes supporters during the first goal, a stampede in enthusiasm due to a barrier giving way. No serious injuries. An unanswered question: if Alemdar, the goalkeeper this evening, had been in place of the holder Gomis in the first leg, wouldn't it have been better for Rennes.... Good night at home, I will follow the following this Cup.

What a load of shite. Better side over two legs? You had four shots on target over two legs.

 

And how is he moaning about var? Var should have sent one of your players off.

 

Sour sour grades from him.

Didn't realise Thomas Frank had taken over at Rennes.

Genesio is a good and weighted trainer, be polite with him!😉

Sounds like just another moaning bad loser manager to me. We have plenty of them in the Premier League…

Ignoring ones own players falling over regularly, over 2 games some bad tackles..

So many free-kicks  & claims of VAR would show who is guilty , in any game both sides have calls on  poor descisions...

ifs ,might-bees,could have,could & should Part of the game, it depends in the day,

and which players plays  the other parts of the game better...

Sunbury Fox > So I lack class too! 😜 But when you follow the Stade Rennes closely and know its recent European "adventures" (during which the same questions as those of Génésio who was not at the time our coach were asked), his remarks (not discourteous, which also takes into account Rennes' own weaknesses) are relevant. And I understand that supporters who know little about Rennes do not fully understand the nature and meaning of his (my) remarks. Once again, Génésio is a responsible, balanced and honest trainer. In any case, we Rennes supporters are asking ourselves some serious questions!

You've been an excellent poster on here but disappointed that you're defending the kind of nonsense that your coach has come out with.

Let's face it, we all thought this was a tinpot trophy when we ended up in it, but it has delivered big time in terms of entertainment. This was a brilliant tie, and reminiscent in terms of the Sevilla game in terms of the emotions I felt as a fan.

 

European competition is brilliant, and Rennes were a more than worthy adversary that made for a fantastic tie. I really enjoyed both games!

Gotta credit the ref. Didn't fall for any of their shite.

Better than any PL ref I've seen this season especially with that fanatical home atmosphere.

It's Stade Rennais!

Bruno Genesio: “When you organize a European competition, you have to organize it under the same conditions as the others, otherwise it's useless. Maybe Leicester is more attractive than Rennes for a quarter-final.

 

Making accusation about corruption. Very salty.

If there's some sort of high level corruption to favour us going on why did the ref play about 8 and half minutes stoppage time and why did he only give a yellow for a studs up definite red card which would have swung the game massively in our favour.

Génésio, coach of Rennes (he perfectly sums up this match, the previous one, and incidentally, before he coached our other bizarre matches against English clubs. It's up to us to make a name for ourselves!) :
"The first feeling is disappointment because if there is a team that deserved to go to the quarter-finals in both games, it was us. Once again, we lacked a bit of maturity. In our little weak time, we conceded a goal from a set piece. We lacked efficiency because we had the chances to score the third goal and take them to extra time.
And then, we missed the VAR. When we organizes a European competition, we have to organize it under the same conditions as the others. Otherwise it's useless, it's better not to do it.
In both matches, we are short of at least one penalty. It would have changed a lot of things. I don't want to overwhelm the referee even if I think it's a bit too much in the same direction for it to be just chance but above all we have to play this competition under the same conditions than the others. There are several contrary decisions over the two games, at least three.
Maybe Rennes is a club less attractive than Leicester for a Conference League quarter-final. It's up to us to write our history by scoring twice as many goals as the opponent to qualify.
Despite the elimination, I especially want to congratulate my players. We showed a beautiful face.

I hope we will learn. There is a famous President, who is no longer there, and who once said "I understood". We also need to understand.

When you try so hard and you are not rewarded, of course there is frustration and anger but we have to move on. We can't go back unfortunately. We have to move on. We have to recover and prepare for the end of the championship if we want to relive this kind of evening at Roazhon Park.

Honestly, it was an amazing evening. We would have liked to reward our public with a qualification. I have rarely seen atmospheres like these. In Lyon, there were some in the big parties but with 60,000 people. Making so much noise with 30,000 people for the duration of the match, we have to give them a big thumbs up. »

As we say in England "tough titties".

Yes thought the ref did well. They were a typical European side pushing it to the limit. 
 

Was impressed with our time wasting though, we are learning.

Got to be a video of the away end for Fofanas goal, it was carnage.

The only thing that in anyway was possibly contagious was the last second handball from KDH, but even with VAR is was 50/50. It’s the only decision that if the other way round I’d have wanted. Especially in the last minute. But when you watch it back in the cold light of day it’d have been harsh. Headed onto his arm after he was pushed.
 

Everything else was just appeals about nothing, thought the ref had a good game overall and any comments like the ones from Genesio just comes across as sour and salty. Don’t think there was anything in the first leg that was remotely controversial? 
 

it was a good tie, thought Stade Rennes we’re excellent overall, fantastic atmosphere. Good luck for the rest of the season 

[sm1]

Sad to hear some of the shite coming out from the Rennes camp. They are letting the final 15-20 mins cloud their judgement. We were the better team in the 1st leg and were pretty comfortable up until their 2nd goal in this game. Better team won no doubt and some of the antics from the Rennes players was awful, diving in the area, crying for handball. They made Arsenal look like good sportsman. Finally the ref was superb and the Rennes manager should be ashamed of himself accusing him of being corrupt. He should watch our game against Atletico in 1997, to see corruption. 

[Vardinio'sCat]

Not interested in the quibbling, Rennes are quite something and I hope they continue to shine.

 

I never thought of Brittany as an obvious hotbed of football, but thats european competitions for you.

étonnante!!! c'était tout ce qui nous manquait. Même vesty était énorme pour nous 

Il a plutôt été catastrophique avec ses coups-france en touche. L'homme du match, c'est l'arbitre qui vous préserve d'au moins 2 pénaltys indiscutables sur 5 situations litigieuses (Traoré en première mi-temps, Terrier à 1-1, Meling au début des arrêts de jeu, Guirassy au milieu et la main indiscutable sur notre dernier coup-franc. Honteuse et scandaleuse qualification de votre équipe. Je ne serais pas fier à votre place. 

Nous, au moins on a joué au foot.

Je suis terriblement dépité car on a été exceptionnel (nous supporters) et nos joueurs ont été admirables et on méritait au moins les prolongations.

 

Heureux d'avoir partagé avec vous ici et j'espère votre victoire finale pour qu'on se dise qu'on ait perdu contre le vainqueur mais j'ai du mal à y croire.

Their left back looks like a good talent
