I'm over the moon Rangers got into the final (being a Rangers fan :laugh:) considering we ain't the best team plus we have a very hectic season but it'll make a good final :) Considering Dick Advocaat used to be our manager should make for a good atmosphere :D

Fingers crossed we can wrap up a quadruple

As when I saw it l!ve, each and every penalty should been retaken, as the keeper was not on his line when the shooter struck the ball.

They should get rid of this kind of finish and have a half way line to score a goal in 15 seconds shoot out.

Just like I predicted, Zenit won it all. I must say, Rangers played some boring football for 80 minutes.

That is the only tactic Rangers could do though. They just had to frustrate the hell out of Zenit and hope they got a bit of luck. They played largely the same way against Fiorentina!

Zenit deserved it though. Beating Villareal, Bayern Munich, Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen along the way.

Rangers were a disgrace! How the hell did they even reach the final i will never know and obviously the best team one on the night.

I think 2-0 is an understatment to Rangers because personally it should of been 3 or 4.

Rangers were to defensive and I think Walter made a mistake starting Darcheville I would of personally gone with Novo or Boyd.

It wouldn't of changed things at all. Zenit were the much better team, if we could even call Rangers a team on tonight display.

At least Rangers got what they deserve and that's not the UEFA cup. Zenit beat Munich 4-0 and that alone deserved what they got.

I was expecting much more from Rangers. They were playing like they were ahead in the game and defending the score and when they actually did come forward, they lobbed balls towards the box hoping for the keeper to slip and fall.

Zenit plays some very attractive football and I had noticed that a few rounds ago. On the other hand, Rangers got lucky against Sporting in Lisbon and they were very lucky against Fiorentina but they got what they had coming.

Agree with you about Rangers tactics. They didn't look like they wanted to win. Just to contain Zenit and nick a goal.

Not sure Zenit deserved it. They may have got to the final but it was their home performances that got them there. If they had played a team who actually played football instead of trying to bore the opposition to death they would have lost. In the main stages of the competition they only won one away game.

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
