August 31, 200718 yr comment_4169 Tough tie, but definately got a chance of going through. Whereas, if we'd got Bayern, there was no chance of going through. Only three weeks til the home leg, I think we'll need to win by a couple of goals at our place and keep a clean sheet. Just hope we've got our act together by then! Report

I'm not sure how the Dnipro side now compare to then, but just a warning not to read too much into one result! Report
August 31, 200718 yr comment_4181 it's a hellhole, by all accounts, so i'll nae be going (besides that, i'll be back fae my holidays one day). however, i think it's a winnable game. I remember dnipro being okay but no great shakes from that hibees game, and a bunch of their goals came in the last five minutes while hibs were pushing up the park to get one back. pretty much the draw i thought we'd get - some doughty eastern european mob. i saw we take 'em and then make hay in the groups - remember, three from five qualify. bring it on!

August 31, 200718 yr comment_4195 I have found the following link on the Guardian site on Dnipro http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/08/28/threes_a_crowd_for_dynamo_and.html I know this is my first post on this forum, but IMHO it seems that Dnipro have got a good team and have made a reasonable start to the season. If we assume that the Ukrainan League is the same standard as the SPL (both countries have two teams in the Champions League Group Stages and have meglomaniac club owners) then both the Dons and Dnipro are evenly matched. From reading the article the success of the Dons depends on their attitude towards us. If they think we are of lesser quality than tham, then we may have a chance. Report
August 31, 200718 yr comment_4203 TBH I'm more concerned about our own team than them. As long as JC puts out a sensible side in a sensible formation then I'd think we might have a wee chance. We need to get some confidence, wins and probably most importantly clean sheets on the board in the next few games. Report
September 1, 200718 yr comment_4210 From reading the article the success of the Dons depends on their attitude towards us. If they think we are of lesser quality than tham, then we may have a chance. And that's us in a nutshell. If we think we can beat them, chances are we won't. If we go in there with the determination we had against Rangers at the end of last season, I'm quietly confident Report

I have waited for 5 years for a proper away trip, and I don't want to totally rule it out yet... If you look on Red Web club have announced a "offical travel partner" for the trip who are putting together a package. Also passport travel are talking of putting a charter on. I have booked trip from Wednesday to Saturday for 3 of us going from Edinburgh to Kiev via Amsterdam then train to Dnipro. Total cost looking to be about £360 each including accomodation. Cannot see the charters coming in for much less than £500 (passports trip to Ukraine last year for Scotland game was around this level) so you will propbaly be cheaper arranging it for yourself.
