Applied for my Travel club a good few weeks ago but haven't heard anything back yet, anyone else heard anything? I know we miss the 1st European game but fingers crossed we make it to the group stages of the Champions League and get some great teams. Would love to get Real Madrid or Barcelona, Ajax and an Italian team. Who would you like to face? Teams already confirmed for group stages; Barcelona Milan Marseille Porto Manchester United Internazionale Zenit St. Petersburg Ajax Chelsea Napoli CSKA Moscow Fenerbahçe Manchester City Borussia Dortmund Shakhtar Donetsk Olympiacos Real Madrid Bayer Leverkusen Oţelul Galaţi Basel Valencia Lille
It's a hard one, we need to beat Malmo, then beat another team just to get into the CL. Then, who do you want? A glamour group or a group with the potential of progression?
I'm confident we will make it past the qualifiers. I think the chances of progression are highly unlikely considering the calibre of teams in the competition. I would prefer a glamour group.
And this is what we are reduced to. Like a lower league side in the FA Cup hoping for a big draw for a wee day out. ****e.
I believe AC Milan are 1st seeds for me I would take them as I think they are the weakest of the top seeds, I know we can't draw Man City as they are same seed as us if we qualify then maybe a turkish side as well as that league isn't as strong as it was. Overall maybe glamour and money over progression as chances are we're not gonna win it.
are we pot 4 if we manage to get through? carrying the flag for scotland once again. celtic are a joke
****e...but true , I sometimes wonder if scottish football had stuck with sky ,rather than jumping to setanta , if things might have been just a little better ?
Yes it would have Sky offered us more before we left than we are on now, Setanta was a good idea but I think we should always stick with Sky, as for what pot we are in it's 3.
I would much prefer to concentrate on qualifying for the group stage and take who we are given. At this level every game is going to be a challenge. If I had to choose I would pick Barca, smallest 2nd pot team, and a western european 4th pot team. You want to avoid the eastern european teams because of travel times and the unknown quantity
I'm with you on Madrid, we never seem to get Madrid, or at least I can't remember, maybe Rocket remembers though
Now they are more worried about Elgin and East Stirling than Madrid and Barcelona , been a funny last 9 months !!!
No we're not... You two really are a couple of sad bastards, raking up old threads, nothing better to do? What's that quote you said horrus? This could be the easiest treble in history?...
