European Ties (Early Doors)

I'll only post the key results (the ones involving British and Irish clubs and the Faroese ones, obv) at this stage, there's a lot of ****ty clubs involved that nobody will give a **** about.

Europa League

Dinamo Minsk 1-2 Derry City (Dinamo win 3-2)
Molde 5-1 Glenavon (Molde win 6-3 on aggregate)
AIK 1-1 Shamrock Rovers (AIK win 2-1)
Shakhtyor Soligorsk 2-0 Connah's Quay Nomads (Shaktyor win 5-1)
FC Nordsjaelland 2-1 Cliftonville (Nordsjaelland win 3-1)
Titograd Podgorica 1-2 B36 Torshavn (B36 win 2-1 )
Dundalk 2-1 FCI Levadia (Dundalk win 3-1)
Coleraine 0-2 Spartak Subotica (Spartak win 3-1)
NSI Runavik 4-6 Hibernian (Hibs win 12-5 on aggregate - that's still impressive for NSI, they aren't even the biggest team in the Faroes)
Shkupi 0-0 Rangers (Rangers win 2-0)

Champions League

Celtic 3-0 Alashkert (Celtic win 6-0)
TNS 4-0 Shkendija (Shkendija win 5-4)
Crusaders 0-2 Ludogorets (Ludogorets win 9-0)
Legia Warsaw 3-0 Cork City (Legia win 4-0)
HJK Helsinki 3-1 Vikingur Gota (HJK win 5-2)


So, from that list, if you cba to read it, the ones to progress from our board (I think), AIK, B36 , Dundalk, Hibernian, Rangers and Celtic.

Burnley start next week against Aberdeen, so at least one UK side going out there. Cork City drop into the Europa League and receive a bye to the next round.

Some interesting ties for anybody still reading this who is remotely interested in European football:

I’ve been plotting the winners as they pass through the various rounds of the Europa League. I started with Cefn Druids from Wrexham in the preliminary round and so far I’ve been to Lithuania twice (Trakai) and Kazakhstan (Pavlodar). Next up for visiting is Trakai again and Belgrade.

I haven’t actually visited these places, but it’s fun to think about the practicalities of going to each game. For me it is, anyway.

 

I like early Doors.

 

It's good, but L.A. Woman is their best album for me.

 

Craig Cash's best role.

 

“She’s got an arse like a badly packed parachute.”

Brilliant.

 

I hope Burnley stuff Aberdeen.

 

why?

aberdeen are a decent club with no budget compared to the glasgow clubs
they can't even compete with a conference club for wages

it's a complete mismatch v burnley

i hope aberdeen win

 

That surprises me.

Rangers fans hate Aberdeen almost as much as they hate Celtic don’t they?

 

I used to go and watch them, had my fair share of abuse there even though I was supposed to be supporting Aberdeen, so stopped going. Hope they get stuffed 10-0, a shower of ****s their supporters.

 

aberdeen don't even come close to celtic

aberdeen are just a football club

 

well english accent is not going to be appreciated at a place like aberdeen

 

Dirtiest filthiest scumbag supporters ever according to a couple of Rangers jocks I used to work with. Absolutely despised them.

 

not as bad as hibs, hibs are some of the dirtiest ****s known to man possibly as much as celtic, then i remember celtic singing disgusting songs about the british army
absolutely depise that football club and it's fans
disgusting vile club, they literally make me sick, dirty fenian ****s

plus i'm not a proper rangers fan

i just hate celtic, disgusting club that should be kicked out of the uk
traitor disgusting ****s

 

You're right there.

 

aberdeen is just a little man syndrome
like leeds to city or man united

 

Yet they seemed to love Deano.
Weird innit, their double standards.

 

they are jealous of the glasgow and edin clubs
they are in the middle of nowhere with no rivals

 

Must admit, I was waiting for Quill to be the one to spot the opportunity to post a Doors number.
