Hopefully he can be exploited early next week and make it really comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure he'd be stopping a powerful, close range, free header, anyway.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re still a new team, they’ve been together for a good few games now and they were looking dangerous on the counter at times.  1 early goal can quickly turn into 2 and then it’s squeaky bum time.  We had to beat Copenhagen in 2007 by an amount of goals, the year after they knocked Man Utd out of the CL, they weee hot favourites and 0-0 at ht, probably even more so.  4 second half goals blitzed them, anything can happen in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As DD implies, an early goal would definitely allow us to rest some players at halftime, and also allow us to rotate the squad (and get more minutes in the legs that need them). There'd also be an opportunity to try a different formation in the second half with a 4 or 5 goal lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I'm in Iceland, so if any Dons fancy a beer I'm up for it next week. Great tie for youse. Breiðablik are a constantly decent side both in the league and done alright in Europe too over the past few years ; but on th scale of facing them or Austria Vienna, I think most Dons will be happy going to Iceland. They're a well run club, I know a youth coach who says every summer Italian and Dutch scouts are always over looking for the next big talent. It's not far to "downtown" from Kópavogur where they play, maybe 8-10kms away. Those escooters are everywhere so you could hire one of those to get to the ground for probably £10? Pal here just asked me, how many Dons will come across? I said wasn't sure but they do travel well in Europe, and even with Covid, I would be surprised if it wasn't more than 500. Is that way too optmistic a guess? Last I checked three wasn't direct Glasgow flights with Icelandair just now, but easyJet fly to KeflavÃk from Edinburgh. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me. Edited July 29, 2021 by weekevie04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're talking (or in the process) of banning them between 12-8 am at the weekends. Whilst you're not meant to be pished on them, the Polis would probably just laugh it off if they caught Aberdeen fans doing it (unless it was very dangerous). You can scoot round the coast to the stadium too on a lovely wee path too past the city airport, wee beach area too. I can find maps etc for anyone who wants more info. Enjoy and a great night for our two Scottish teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 If Rangers overcome Malmo they'll play the winners of Olympiacos/Ludogrets for a place in the groups stages. No easy games at this level etc however that's about as favourable a draw as we could have hoped for.
