If we can get anything against Young Boys we'll be in a decent position. I think our group will have a lot of home wins so our point last night could be vital. Two homes matches coming up and we need to aim for 6 points, 4 wouldn't be too bad. Anything against Young Boys would be a good result IMO. Porto away will be tricky but Gerrard does seem to be getting things right in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestically we aren't good enough to break the packed defences down. Think you're right about Celtic group but I think all 4 teams are on a similar level.

I would say weren't good enough, rather than aren't good enough. Everyone has parked the bus this year so far except Celtic and Hibs. Hibs showed why teams maybe should, as much as it pains me to say that, because it makes for shite viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, God forbid teams that cost the same as two bags of Space Raiders and a Kwenchy Cup don’t open up into total football Holland 70’s style. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams regularly come to fir park and park the bus. I think Partick Thistle hold the record for starting the time-wasting/shitehousing at 14 minutes into a match. Hamilton a close 2nd at 18 minutes. I’m sure Neil Alexander was getting booked for time wasting every other week in league one and two, holding on to 2-1 leads against Clyde and Annan. 😂 I’d bring “multi ball” into the spfl tomorrow.

Where does he criticise teams for parking the bus? He actually says its the right tactics despite it being dull to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Rumours going about on Twitter that the Europa league will be for the top 15 nations from 2021, with the rest going into the europa conference league, which will run alongside the europa league on the Thursday and winners get a spot in europa the following season.

Grim Jim Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Under their heading about UEFA taking decisions Quote The committee discussed a report which studied the impact of the revenues raised by the top five leagues from the other 50 countries in Europe on competitive balance in the game. The report demonstrates that, in the absence of any solidarity payments going back into the 50 markets, the money taken by the top five leagues is a major contributor to the erosion of competitive balance across Europe. Nuthin' done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) We'd have overtaken Croatia last night had rangers won. Serbia did overtake Croatia after their sides won 2 matches this week.

PASTA Mick Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) 15th this season is possible but tricky, because Olympiacos and Red Star play each other in the Champions League at least one will get points and one is guaranteed to advance to the Europa League knock-out stages.

If we finish 15th, we get 2 clubs into the “champions” league and another club in the Europa league. I think! Also means our wins are worth slightly less, as the points available are divisible by 5, not 4. Our teams also enter Europe at a later stage, so while we may pick up fewer easier points, we may get another team in the Europa group stage. It also means that at the end of next season we don’t get most of our teams stuck in the all-new Eurodiddy League. I suppose the upshot of it all is that Aberdeen and Kilmarnock’s European adventures are slightly less likely to end at Burnley or Connah’s Quay Wetherspoons.
