Watt-Zeefuik Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Trakai 1-0 up against Shkendija. Yes I still follow their results and yes I still blame Cathro for us failing to qualify. Prick. Love the EL at all stages and wish I could get more coverage of it. Great international competition that for a while is largely absent of the money-bloated clubs.

It's like a drop in centre for distressed Champions League clubs who've fallen on hard times. Many more clubs could have access to European football if so many spaces weren't set aside for CL failures. Not having a pop at you, bud, just UEFA.

hueyview Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Was the same for the Celtic game last night But it's utterly shambolic that the game isn't on any sort of viewable Tv today I get and understand that they want folk to subscribe to Celtic to/ Red Tv(the Aberdeen version) but as far as I can see (and happy to be corrected) there is no way of being in the uk and watching this game tonight (or last night)? Audio only but international viewers could get a video feed, why? Utterly stupid At least Hearts had the good sense last year to make it available to U.K. Subscribers for both home legs last year. Literally almost every other country in Europe has teams Playing in champions league qualifiers/Europa league qualifiers and it's on their domestic tele in some form, Scotland? Na no thanks Although premier sports are showing both teams Away legs next week and albeit it's ?9.99 a month to suscribe to them, at least they are putting the money in unlike the Beeb or even stv So true...good post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and think UEFA are ruining it, particularly in the later stages, but reading the scores from the early rounds I feel like I'm reading about real football clubs not entertainment franchises.

Getting to cup finals and second place in the league or struggling to make the top 6!! Yeah we have to accept Aberdeen are ahead of us right now thanks to our implosion under Romanov. They have built up a good head of steam, have a stable manager and more money to spend. I do think off the pitch we are in a much stronger position though in terms of our whole setup, including the youth system, new stand and FoH, which will see us overtake them before long.

All fair points mate. I just wish we were even linked with some of the players Aberdeen have signed to at least give the players a choice to make but we seem to be going down a completely different route which baffles me to be honest.

How many times have we said tried and tested experienced players who know this league are what we should be looking at. Was a great start with Berra and Lafferty but I'm not so sure now with the players we are getting linked with In past years I'd have fully expected us to get one or more of Christie, Hayes, McLean, Rooney, Nial McGinn and McGinn at Hibs when they became available. We just weren't in a position to do it at the time in terms of stability for the player, wages and transfer/development fees. Aberdeen in particular have had it all their own way for 4 or 5 years in terms of being the most attractive non-OF option for good players happy to stay in Scotland. Not anymore though..

Always though he would be when they done a special on him learning from Alan McGraw. Great is pushing it. He's done well with what he's been given in terms of budget, which is a lot more than most managers, but he's also taken advantage of a crazy time in Scottish football when the top league has been missing teams like us, Rangers and Hibs who would normally help provide stuffer opposition over the full season. See also Tommy Wright. The next season or two will be the real test of them. To be fair McInnes has started well. As someone else has said one trophy is a poor return. He needs another (or even just some more finals) or a better than average European run to be considered anywhere near a great manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably wouldn't have been if it hadn't happened when it did. It's worth recalling Levein's original plan: Neilson: HC Cathro: U20s (primed to take over from Neilson in 2-3 years) Skacel: Technical coach Craig Gordon: Goalie and goalie coach Not everything works out the way you want it to but it's hard to criticise Levein's vision.

IveSeenTheLight Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 So Aberdeen are hanging on by a thread against a team from Cyprus They are a team that made the group stages twice recently. They were a very decent team tonight. Very comfortable on the ball with pace throughout the side. Not one player was a slouch and all very good technical players. It was actually a very good game to watch. Not sure why the Cypriot teams are so good given the size of the nation. I expect they will score next week, but tactically, we hopefully will do enough to wear them down and maybe get a goal ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
