But it's far tougher now than it used to be for Scottish teams to get anywhere near the groups. And I don't mean for coefficient reasons. Pretty much year on year the qualification is becoming harder for teams from our type of league, while teams from the big countries are given a free pass. Aye, look at it from Molde's point of view. They finished second in Norway and have won through three ties (so far). Their "reward" is a play-off against Zenit, while loads of teams from bigger countries get a free pass.

Well, finishing 4th in a 20+ team league is clearly a greater achievement than doing so when there are only 12 teams. That's not even an opinion, it's obvious.

So you think Scottish clubs should be punished because we choose to set our leagues up 12-10-10-10-pyramid rather than 20-20-pyramid? And having to finish above the likes of Dunfermline and Dundee United is an absolute gimme for Hibs, the extra difficulty would be negligible. Nobody finishing 4th in any league deserves an easy route into Europe. Scotland is "punished" because we've not done well in Europe for the past decade and clubs in England, Spain and Germany are more "valuable" to Uefa. Also, why do you keep trying to bring Dunfermline into this? I can't tell if I'm being whooshed or you're just really simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Tbh this round is about Scottish footballs level, apart from Celtic that is. There'll be the odd freak result that may get our teams into the play off round but that'll take a bit of luck. Standard imo.Bit of a pointless generalisation. Hibs could easily have progressed from that tie with a bit of luck. 3-0 certainly flattered molde. Rangers are going to qualify. Not exactly freak results.

If we regularly embarrassed ourselves in Europe like Hibs do, you'd have a bit more of a point. Don't let that stop the diddy back-patting and patronising, though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33350993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique Malonga Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 At Hibs? Interesting. They have some dodgy, dodgy barstewards in their support despite some portraying the club as some kind of boho-hipster nirvna.Absolutely spot on. I’ve always said that the special forces should set up a recruitment table outside Easter Road. There’s some very physically capable individuals amongst our support.I consider myself in that.

Even the billionaires of Celtic seem to punch below their financial weight. Hearts, HIbs, Well, Saints, Dons, Deidco... all have been embarrassed. Embarrassed or at our right level?
