glasgow-sheep Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Flights already either sold out or north of £200 to get out to Cyprus. Glad I booked up pronto. Not sure how many we'll have out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it fair to say we'd have a more difficult route to EL groups than Celtic will to CL groups? Rough as f**k today. Worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Main difference between yesterday and last week was that the arse didn't fall out of us after 60 minutes. In fact, we just picked up the pace, got stronger and eventually just played them off the park....it could well have been 3 or 4. I was a bit worried that both GMS and Stewart would run out of puff, but both put in a great shift and it's to their credit that even without Hayes and McGinn, the second half looked very much like a seamless transition from the last few years. Obviously the stand out player on the park was Christie, and I suspect that Aberdeen will seriously regret not making him a permanent part of the Hayes deal......this guy is going to have a terrific season and this time next year we'll be missing him desperately. Anyway. The initial couple of games of the season in Europe are always a damn tricky pain in the arse, and that's them out of the way. Fitness levels are up, and the game last night will have done wonders for confidence and for gelling the team together. I'd expect a full-house at the Pitt o'dreams next week and while this Cypriot lot will be no mugs, I'm hoping that we'll be a much better side at home than we were just a week ago.I'd love a clean sheet, and I'd kill for a 2-0 to take to Cyprus. Pleasing. Pleasing. Pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't read anything into that as it's the players they've signed in the last year that have made them decent. Apollon are decent but so will Aberdeen be, if you can sort out that defence.

List_of_Jericho Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I think if I was a Dons fan I'd happily take Milan for the trip. They've got some cracking players this year. Would much prefer that to a drubbing from the likes of Gent or Freiburg. Even a trip down to Goodison wouldn't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 3 hours ago, shootingboots said: Is it fair to say we'd have a more difficult route to EL groups than Celtic will to CL groups? Pretty much but Astana are listed as a potential Aberdeen opponent and we could've drawn them in QR3 instead of Rosenborg. I take it the list is therefore assuming Legia will knock them out of the Champions route. I'm also assuming that (for example) Astra were the 3rd best team in Romania at best last season and Sparta Prague were the 3rd best Czech team as those countries have representatives in both the Champions Route and the League Route of the CL.
