Gorgie European Tour 26/27

[Konnichiwa You Cunt]

Odds against us but we could sneak through there

Are they? That’s a brilliant draw for us especially with the second leg at home. Surely no worse than a 50:50 chance at winning this tie (assuming we have a manager and striker by then).

If you're taking the odds comment literally then, they will be favourites by a considerable distance in the bookies, but as Mikey says, we have a very decent chance.

Looking at Scotlands Coefficient website (7 day free trial) if we win this tie then our likely opponents in the next round are Lyon, Bodo/Glimt, Olympiakos or the winner of the Fenerbahce tie then the final playoff will one the two highest coefficients from the winners of those ties

Stay away from bodo glimt in the qualifiers, they are always in the middle of their league season so are lucky cunts.

Yeah they probably will be with the bookies but based on nothing but the club’s names and history. It’s second in the SPFL versus second in the Austrian Bundesliga and we’ve got the advantage of being home second. Zero to fear and it’s an extremely even match up.

Depending how we pull ourselves together in the next month, I fancy us.

How many of their players are away with Austria at WC I wonder.
They’ll be shattered

None 

Difference going into this one compared to recent years is it feels like we’ve got proper creativity, Kyzi, Miller, Kerjota etc whereas we felt a little toothless in previous qualifiers 

An extra bit of quality in midfield / Ageu coming back firing on all cylinders we could be a tricky proposition for some teams

[CritchSmile]

Oh well.

I see they’ve just signed a boy called Jürgen Heil :fraggleyay:

[King WillDred of Orange]

Will only get 1400 tickets for it going by previous Uk teams being there.

[Snake Plissken]

As winnable a tie as we're going to get at this level.

It won't be easy, and it might come too soon for a new squad, but we've got a real chance to at least make the EL group stages. Doing that regularly is how we move up a level in the long run.

[Picards Forehead]

Flights booked to Vienna and then a wee 2 hour train through to Graz

Imagine the train pints on that
