All Scotland games sold out according to availability chart

Thanks, about a third further than mine

how far along is your green bar?

Seems a pretty unfair method, let a few lucky people fill their boots with tickets to as many games as they like.

who wants to go to the games anyway

So annoying, tried on my phone 10 mins later. now have a slither of green at the left of the bar.

I don't even have a bar

Disappointed in the skittery farts, their fans watching Aberdeen Hibs last night were so confident their team was a level above. Looked pish to me.

Andrew McKinley's comments belong here certainly

5 and a half hours each way from Edinburgh via Helsinki. £275 return with Finnair at the moment, could be worse.

Under the new system starting this year more club coefficient points are being awarded in the Qualifying stage. So, if Aberdeen go out in QR 2 this season they'll get more points than they did being eliminated in QR3 in previous years. Meaning they have a good chance of being seeded in QR2 if they qualify again next season. From UEFA.com For matches up to and including 2017/18 UEFA Champions League points system First qualifying round elimination – 0.5 points Second qualifying round elimination – 1 point Group stage bonus participation – 4 points Group stage win – 2 points Group stage draw – 1 point Round of 16 bonus participation – 4 points Clubs are also awarded an additional point if they reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals or final. NB Points are not awarded for elimination in the third qualifying round or play-offs, since those clubs move to the UEFA Europa League and are awarded points for participation in that competition.

Have Club 1872 released a statement yet?

...and who brass necked it and called the police

Did they ever consider the huge swathe of grass at the top of King Street just before the river? As someone who rarely makes it up for home games nowadays I realise my opinion on the matter isn't that important but must admit I have my doubts about moving to a soulless arena in the middle of nowhere. It was always a good day out going for pre and post match drinks and walking to the ground. If they really must built it in the middle of nowhere then the stadium itself needs to be built without further compromising the atmosphere with shallow stands etc to appease the locals.

excellent news

Looks like Storey will play an integral part this season!

They've been updated again and they're back to normal. Somebody at UEFA must still of been hanging out their arse on Monday morning.

http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/club/index.html UEFA have just updated their rankings, not very clear how they are arriving at their totals as the numbers don't add up. Scotland and Celtic slightly up but the rest of the Scottish teams have slipped down the rankings. Hopefully an error!

Celtic are 3rd in Pot 4 as things stand so would require a few upsets to squeeze into Pot 3 https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=4FE4712A1E3EA4FA!276&ithint=file%2cxlsx&app=Excel&authkey=!AAEY2-peVXk6VaI

No bother, I couldn't get my head around it either to be honest!

I heard he's much of a muchness. I'll get my coat.

I asked about this on Bert kassies forum: So probably Ajax or Lyon are the favourable winners for Aberdeen as things stand

Nah, they weren't eligible to play in Europe for 3 years as a new club. The ban was one of the fictional penalties listed by the "we've been punished enough already" crowd.

Aluko was born and bred in England though
