Glasgow Rangers 2:0 Famagusta

Safely through to the Champions League proper where we will probably be destroyed by any half decent team. Such is life, at least we're through with guaranteed cash to hopefully put the club on a more even keel (I'm not convinced it should go on new players).

Like I said after the first leg Famgusta showed some really nice touches and we were very lucky they didn't score. Rangers' two goals were very good and once again Dado Prso proves he is the man to make the difference. He covers every blade of grass, twice, every match. Amazing workrate for such a big guy. What would Rangers be without him? Lets hope we don't have to find out. Nacho Novo? Hmmm, just not good enough.

Watched the match on the big screen (65" diagonal) courtesy of the new projector :-) Works really well in the bedroom running off the Freeview box via Scart. Channel Five had the Man Utd game and the picture on it was also very good (colours were a bit bright though). ITV2 had the Everton game but it was in glorious 4:3. The projector will switch to a 4:3 signal but I didn't bother with that. It was very disappointing seeing this when compared to the other two matches broadcast in 16:9.

After the match Lesley wanted to watch "Lost" on Channel4 which was an amazing experience. Fantastic colours, good contrast with an almost 3D quality to the image. I was just projecting onto the bedroom wall (painted a yellow-orange colour) with the projector sitting on a large book atop the bed. Not ideal but the results showed with the projector mounted to the ceiling and a DIY projection screen with proper black border to improve the contrast the picture will be even better. Not bad for a total budget of less than £500 (projector, cables, ceiling mount, screen). I have my solution for the big football games, TV dramas and DVDs. Well chuffed.
