Enzo Chiefo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hopefully Aberdeen can make it a full house for the Scottish teams. Improving the coefficient makes it easier to qualify for the group stages. Last time we reached that stage we only faced 1 qualifying round, now it's so much more difficult with 4 qualifying rounds to negotiate.

Sorry not a pop at you btw but at the fact that countries whose 4th placed team get straight into the group stages Yeah it’s ridiculous how the top 4 in some countries go into the “Champions League”. Didn’t realise coming 2nd makes you a champion lol. So when was the last time we had 4 Scottish teams in when the league campaign kicked off?

VALDOS Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I think aberdeen did very well over the 2 legs, certainly before the tie many had this as a skoosh for Burnley. This season has started well for Scotland in Europe and heres hoping its a sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Madness Two men have been stabbed after a mass brawl broke out in the streets outside Rangers' Ibrox stadium in Glasgow. Emergency services were called to deal with the "large scale disturbance" in the Govan area of the city ahead of the Scottish football club's Europa League clash with Croatian rival Osijek on Thursday evening. Police Scotland said two men, aged 24 and 40, were found with stab wounds and were taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital just after 7pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I’d have liked to have seen Aberdeen win for the stated reasons but are we not going a bit OTT with the hard luck stories? I had a quick look back at our jaunt to Liverpool and the only thing the two matches have in common are that it was £PL v SPFL. The name, the quality of player and even the timing of the matches (we played Liverpool in the last week in August) made Aberdeen’s tie infinitely more winnable. I read on twitter that Burnley cost 688 times more than Aberdeen to assemble so I’m not belittling how close they came to a major shock. Mind you, Aberdeen have a defender they value at £10m!!! However, I don’t recall Hearts receiving the same plaudits for our team, which cost £30,000 (Temps) to assemble, running a team valued at 10,000 times that, very close. I think this game was increased in magnitude by it being a media darling travelling to England on the back of us Scots having the temerity to not support our neighbours last month.

Taffin Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Were all our Europa teams unseeded? Is that why Hibs and Rangers had much easier ties than Aberdeen(luck of the draw)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Aberdeen made the EPL team look average, and still lost, which was good. Unless we want Aberdeen to get more money and prestige for progressing?

Finlay James Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I really hope that Levein is using this as motivation and telling the players to make sure it's us in Europe next season. Aberdeen very unlucky not to go through and you cant take away that the other 3 done well to negotiate tricky ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ironically the Scottish media are now over inflating how good EPL is with all this fanfare, I said it when the draw was made that Burnley are a bang average team lacking much cutting edge/creativity and Aberdeen would have a good chance of going through. Without having marron tinted glasses on, Hearts effort against Liverpool was a much greater 'achievement' if you can call it that. Team with Suarez, Gerrard, Reina, Sterling plus many more, all top class players. On the flip side Hearts team was pretty poor in reality, a centre mid of Barr and Taouil!

kirkierobroy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Aye, you can't go OTT about Aberdeen. They never looked like winning it, did they? All the same, they did much better than I expected.

Macros Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 3 charges against them after their trip to Greece.
