sancho_panza Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) So the draw for the playoff round starts in an hour. I think the options span from winnable (2/3) to not much chance (1) and may as well not bother playing (4). 1. Újpest FC (HUN) / FC Basel 1893 (SUI) 2. AEL Limassol FC (CYP) / Qarabağ FK (AZE) 3. The New Saints FC (WAL) / FC Viktoria Plzeň (CZE) 4. Tottenham Hotspur (ENG) Edited August 2, 2021 by sancho_panza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Limassol or qarabag it is. Probably the most winnable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantheDon Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Don't know much about qarabag but I feel as though we should have beaten limassol last time. Definitely the best draw out of those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the best draw out of those teams. We actually could be in a similar situation to the last time we played them, especially if Hedges moves on. If we get an injury to Ramirez or Jet*, we're going to have zero options up front. That was exactly what happened last time and we dicked about on a striker and didn't win because of it. We need to get another striker on the books asap as neither Jet nor Ramirez on their own look like they'll be good enough to perform the solo striker role. *Rooney was out for the Limassol game Edited August 2, 2021 by RicoS321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to undergo a rectal covid test and hand over all online passwords for entry into pubs in Aberdeen these days. I've been doing that anyway, just to be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaarDon Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Carryabag have won 2 games and drawn 3 this season. not incredibly prolific goalscorer by any means so hopefully we can do this. Would be our best result since 1293 when William Wallace put down his claymore momentarily and was heard to say,' "fuck me. 2-0. Ya bas!" Go the central belt supporters.

Slim Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Qarabag finished 2nd in their league behind Neftchi Baku who were beaten 3-0 last night and 5-2 on aggregate by HJK Helsinki. It doesn't look like their domestic league has started yet so good chance we're fitter too. All their foreign players seem to be journeymen in their late 20's without any major clubs on their CV's. Despite their fairly high UEFA coefficient ranking, they appear to be very beatable on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
