One wanted to leave within 15 mins, the other lasted a bit longer. But I had promised flags and there were no flags So will see if we can tempt them again! I'm sure the doughnuts will be sufficient blackmail Nothing wrong with that. Just getting practice in for watching Dons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Wembley when they won the Euros (supporting the Germans of course) so defo do not want them winning again I didn't actually mind England winning the women's Euros. It was fine - they seem a decent bunch and the media were pretty mild about it all. The men winning is different. The media are intolerable, and imagine Jordan Pickford getting a knighthood for winning something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original plan was for these games to be played in small venues to spread finals around countries that could not host a champions league final but they have now decided to look at that due to demand for tickets for first two finals.

Makes sense, guess it just depends on “small”. I’m pleased for west ham, should serve as an inspiration to other teams that the dream is still there.

Panda Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Yeh well done West Ham. Just goes to show if you have a dream, work hard, play in the richest league in the world and spend £150m on transfers, you can do anything. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeBass Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I think Patrik Myslovic has scored a last minute winner for MSK Zilina tonight. You know what is happening guys. We're getting them in Conference League Group Stage and he's coming back to haunt us at Pittodrie. Don't say we didn't warn you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 We've a 28.4% chance of making the Europa League group stages, apparently. I didn't actually realise until now that every team we could face has a better coefficient than us - except Lugano, who we probably don't want to face anyway. Olympiakos have a high coefficient, but got hammered by Maccabi Haifa (another possible opponent) in the Champions League qualifiers last year, scraped through against Slovan Bratislava and Apollon Limassol on penalties to make the Europa groups, then finished bottom of a group that involved Freiburg ,Qarabag and Nantes , which I suspect is why they're being written off. Think I'd still prefer to get Flora Tallinn, who are currently 1-0 down to Rakòw Częstochowa after the first leg of their Champions League qualifier.

SeeBass Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Am I right in saying we could get HJK Helsinki or Zalgiris Vilnius? I'd quite fancy another trip to Finland but we need revenge for that horrendous loss at Pittodrie in 1996 to Lithuanian lot. Remember listening to that match on the radio and being quite scared we'd blow a 4-1 away victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zrinjski are Bosnian champions but again preferable to some of the others. A team from Belarus is a bit dicey since they're big pals with Russia. We may wish to bring our own water and food to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeBass Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I personally don't want BK Hacken, Breidablik or Qarabag as we've played all them fairly recently. Nor Dnipro despite them being under a new guise. I'm one for variety is the spice of life. I'd take the winner of Sheriff Tiraspol or BATE Borisov.

tom_widdows Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Do wonder which 'genius' came up with the draw proceedure. Dons vs Zalgris (Lit) or BK Hacken (Swe) First leg away Id say that is a decent draw especially with the 2nd leg at Pittodrie Edited August 7, 2023 by tom_widdows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Could have been worse but Vilnius have a decent recent record in Europe and Hacken are the current Swedish champions and presumably stronger since we played them so neither will be particularly easy.

DantheDon Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I think this is an excellent draw. It's not going to be easy but it's winnable. The best draw would have been KSK Zrinjski/ Breidablik probably but looking at the teams we could have drawn this must be the second best outcome? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Thinking that this is pretty much as good as it could have been. I'm going to be in Greece for both legs of this unfortunately, so I'll just have to wait for the actual league section ties to see us. Didn't really foresee this as an issue when I booked as it was January and we all know what Goodwin was doing at that point Laughing at the reaction of some Hearts supporters suggesting we always get the easy draws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said a few days ago, best draw we could have got, but by no means the stick on to win many think it is. Even Vilnius, was it not last season they beat Malmo to make the group stages? 22 minutes ago, BigAl said: I'm going to be in Greece for both legs of this unfortunately, Hearts could be in Greece to face PAOK while you're there..
