Can think of no logical reason to change things.

Worth it for the risk of £62 all in.

Notice the BBC online headlines are The rangers and Hibs??

Would have thought we'd at lease be worth a mention as it's against a side from the BBC's favourite spuked-over league.

I know we finally get mentioned in the text eventually, but......

My brother just sent me a screenshot of the Engurlish page, which has the Burnley v Dons as the top story.

 

With a picture of Steven Gerrard of course.

Well up for this een should have the better of them over the two legs.

Sadly I have little confidence we'll progress, after all they probably have an even bigger budget than rasellikbyraway and can probably buy at least one player in this window that costs more than all our team combined!

 

But then again we could cause an upset and "progress"

Nae bother

 

 

Burnley's a shitehole and their team are pish.

Was in the home end when Cheltenham beat them in the FA cup in 2002.

 

Remember goading their keeper about "working in a chip shop", (because he was Greek) didn't make much sense to me but it seemed to amuse the guffies.

 

That and my mate punching me in the nose when the second went in.

Interesting to see their thoughts on it all

I think it's at least a more predictable game than we've had in the past. No travel issues, no weather issues, they are in preseason too, and we will know their players. They aren't spectacular by any means, all depends on our starting 11. Two or three more decent signings needed before we face them but I think they are beatable. As someone mentioned already, Everton struggled against Limassol, no reason we cannot challenge Burnley. Yes, 7th in 'the best league in the world' but they're a blue collar team with no thrills.

When will the kickoff times for this fucker get announced?

Ooft,some tie potentially.A few on their forum seem surprisingly pessimistic.A bit earlier in the rounds than I would have liked,but lookin forrit tilt   

 

Someone called 'topdon' on their forum,inviting them over here. 

It's like drawing Celtic away in 3rd Round of Scottish Cup and just not filling me with any great excitement whatsoever!!

We've never played them before!

 

Great opportunity for McInnes to put himself in the shop window....

I guess you are too young to remember drawing Ipswich in 81. Everyone from Guffland ( and most of the rest of Scotland) told us we would get a battering similar to the one Liverpool gave us the previous year. well it just didn't work out that way.....

 

I do concede that the team that faced Ipswich were just a wee bit special....and we all knew it

Think it’ll be a great tie. Gutted I’m not around for it. Will be interesting to see how we fair against English opposition after missing out on the Everton tie last season.

Given a certain set of circumstances weren't ever going to be facing Everton from what I was told.  Back in the 1980's Ipswich Town and Aberdeen were probably on a more even playing field as it is claimed so end outcome wasn't that big of an upset.  For whatever reason I'm quite depressed we didn't get different opposition.

Been thinking that as well.

For a man that harbours ambition of having another go down south, this is a real opportunity for him

Thought this too, but also the case for some of our players to an extent e.g. McKenna and Shinnie to prove their class and the new signings to prove a point.

On the plus side, we're guaranteed to be seeded for the 3rd round if when we win.

Fucking Burnley should never be seeded higher than us for a tournament they've never played in. Fucking English fucks.

For whatever reason I'm quite depressed we didn't get different opposition.       

 

It's outwith your control SeeBass, so don't be too disappointed - we'll get the foreign opposition you crave in the next round.  In the meantime i think it's a good way of us seeing how good we are - we're obviously more familiar with Burnley and the league they play in so it's easier to gauge than against the likes of Rijeka, Groningen etc.

What shite are you coming out with now?

 

 

Ipswich were UEFA cup holders, the darlings of the English media.

 

Far far above anything bloody Burnley could be.

 

 

 

We'll thrash the bastards

DD. I was at the Liverpool game in 1980. We were gubbed but learned a lot from that. Ipswich the following year were complacent. They were indeed UEFA champions at the time and were a top class side that was not in doubt. They assumed that because of that pedigree that they would walk it against us. How wrong they were . Two words. Peter Weir.

I think the Yonny Hewitt goal in the first leg was quite important too.

 

We hammered them in the second leg though. Mick Mills? I shit you.
