Means we avoid the likes of Liverpool, West Ham, Roma, Atalanta, Leverkusen, Villarreal and Ajax. A welcome silver lining after last nights debacle. Sorry. Didn’t see this. I posted the same later.

They do but tonight was an opportunity to do go one better and aberdeen shat the bed Not many dons fans will agree yet but alarm bells are ringing for me. Duk is fat as fuck, he turned up for pre season totally out for shape, Morris is not good enough for highland league and the new Serbian centre half is a donkey. Not a single win this season in any competition and to make it worse....Aberdeen haven't looked like winning a game yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Duk hasn't been performing as well as last season and it was a really rash challenge by the centre half that gave away the penalty. Shame because at that point Aberdeen were giving it a go and I felt they might get back into the tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacken werw more clinical, that's all You must have been watching a different game from me then. From where I was sitting they looked far technically superior in midfield and up front. Both defences are equally shite, I’ll give you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the 2 leg’s Aberdeen showed up for 20 minutes, we were totally out played by St Mirren on Sunday yet Robson persisted with Morris who is a waste of a jersey & a totally unfit Duk, missing Ramadani big time.

I honestly think you could pick someone off the local park pitches each weekend and they'd do every bit as good a job. I have no idea what Robson sees in him that makes them think he deserved 87 minutes tonight. Although I wish there was less of a focus on foreigners, I think some of Aberdeen's summer business will prove to be good investments... but that Serbian boy at the back is a total bombscare. I suspect he'll be home by Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robson takes too long to make changes when things aren’t working, the St Mirren game should have been a wake up call, the midfield got out played, bullied & overrun. I liked Ramadani but didn’t think he was that great but we are certainly missing him now, he made time & space for Clarkson to make passes, Shinnie seems to have lost a bit of pace as well.

They have 6 European games and that coupled with a LC run will take its toll before Christmas. There are some quality sides in the Conference and they have big budgets.

EddardStark Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Rangers, Betis, Sparta Prague, Aris Limassol Tough Group I would say in terms of pot 2 and 3 draws.

Toepoke Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Bizarre that Aberdeen and Hacken ended up with very similar groups:- Frankfurt, PAOK, HJK, Aberdeen. Leverkusen, Qarabag, Molde, Hacken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to consider dropping to the conference league after Xmas as anything other than an unwelcome distraction from the league. Realistically with the coefficient the way it is, even finishing 2nd basically guarantees Europa League group stages unless I'm missing some expected coefficient downgrade. Conference league is another UEFA cash grab and at best a nice novelty for fans of clubs who wouldn't normally get a taste of European games other than getting pumped in a single qualifier. A club of established Europa League stature shouldn't see dropping to that as an achievement, the same way as the likes of Dortmund, Barcelona etc falling out of the CL shouldn't be proud of it. I think a much more legitimate use of the Conference would be to ring fence it below a certain country coefficient ranking e.g outside the big 5.

Fans in the UK get fleeced beyond belief. The price you are paying to watch a Bundesliga side is just above the price you would pay to watch a Highland league side in Scotland I was thinking of going to see Fulham with some friends in two weeks. The tickets left were priced between £105 and £160, these tickets weren't for a specific hospitality spot, they were regular tickets. We won't be going to watch fulham Edited September 7, 2023 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
