Mick1867 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Utterly painful watching Sky and listening to Mills and that other clown's slavering pish. They appeared to have no idea that there are qualifying places available for the Euros via this tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I've not done much, if any research on this but Albania and Israel were probably as easy (Watch us get pumped now) as we could have got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 So essentially, if we win the group - we get promoted to the prestigious League B - and we also enter a tombola to win a Vauxhall Astra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm delighted to get Albania. I lived there until last October so if anyone needs any toys then I'd be glad to help. I've visited every country in Europe and lived in six of them, Albania is easily my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - what took you to Albania? I lived in Tirana 2008 - 2015, and since then in Podgorica. So that means there's been two Jags fans in the Balkans for a while.

So that means there's been two Jags fans in the Balkans for a while. The hostel trade. Mainly in Shkoder but a few months in Berat as well. I'm not a huge fan of Tirana but since you left they've done up Skanderbeg Square and Pazar i Ri so it's looking shume fucking mire these days.Sorry to hear about Podgorica.

Ira Gaines Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 42 minutes ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Greece aren't what they were. We beat Slovenia over the two games last time we played them. Serbia look tough, admittedly. But if they are really good, they'll qualify automatically and we won't have to worry about them. Correct. Every single team in this section is beatable. If they weren't, they wouldn't be in this section in the first place. You'd have to be proper glass half empty if you're looking at this and the instant reaction is "won't get through".

I still go down every couple of months or so and they've certainly spruced up Skanderberg over the years. Podgorica is fine, although village like after Tirana, but I know from the travel forum that you aren't much of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst bit was when he asked what was the point of it all and said players want to go on holiday in June and not play in more glorified friendlies. Real shoddy stuff.

forameus Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 People having an ignorance lolfest around this are hardly alone. twitter is full of mouth-breathers who are questioning the point of these games, not realising that this draw is probably far, far more important than the actual qualifying groups. I get that they're hardly the most exciting opponents, but I don't care if we play twenty uninspiring opponents, the main thing is that we can beat them. Would they rather we were drawn against Spain and Germany or something? (they probably think that's possible too). EDIT: Can't wait for the chuckle hour on Super Scoreboard tonight as pundits claim not to understand it, like that's just OK, and caller question why we should care. Think it's Guidi on on a Wednesday, and he's usually fairly clued up, so I hope every tool that phones up gets told the truth - this draw fucking matters.
