I thought the ties had been switched ? Someone better tell Derek as he thinks we're away next week given the interviews he did last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I think the fact Chikhura use the same stadium as Dinamo Tbilisi for European matches means it will be switched. UEFA.com still have Gabala v Dinamo Tbilisi as happening in Azerbaijan next week - so one of them will be switched, and all the talk was it had been pretty much confirmed it would be Chikhura. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling we'd lose a goal last night and the fact it happened so early at least dispelled any notion of hanging on for a 0-0, which would have made for an excrutiating last 20. Cosgrove is at least there for the chances, and despite the glaring misses in both legs, still has 2 goals to his name already. I thought the rest of the side were relatively efficient, with Ferguson and Campbell both doing very well considering the worries over the young midfield. Is Lingman 'worth a look' ? Reading the Heikkinen interview in the programme last week he was saying the players in Finland get paid nothing. I'm guessing by that less than £1k/week. A wee £75k bid plus loan until January is a fair shout on a speculative basis. He has another year beyond that before being out of contract. He may well be one we keep an eye on for the next 6-18 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just back from Finland today and away to Georgia on Tuesday. Uefa don't make this easy for fans traveling. Good the game on later on at night as weather is in the mid 30s during the day. This team has beaten a few decent team so tie isn't going to be easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Cheapest way to get to Tbilisi was via Gdansk a few years ago for Scotland away. :-(. Wizzair from Aberdeen to Gdansk, Lot from there to Tbilisi. Then a bus I suppose. About £230 iirc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means if they beat them they'd be seeded for QR4 plus Partizan really aren't that good at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re fairly regular in the group stages but it’s mainly been after getting pumped out champions league qualifying then getting a soft draw in the EL playoff round. Last year they had two easy qualifying rounds before beating Nordsjælland, who I’d probably fancy us against, and understandably getting pumped out by Besiktas. They also finished a full 30 points behind first place in the Serbian top flight so I suspect they are not the team they were 2/3 years ago. Rijeka are a very good team, but at least we know we can beat them I guess. They did get pumped out in QR3 by Sarpsborg of norway last year and would be going in cold to the same stage again. Think that definitely played in our favour last time and I’d hope it would again. Definitely do not want PSV/Basel or Frankfurt (at least in terms of progression). They would however be cracking teams to play. Vitoria would be another great tie and would likely beat us, but I’d take them ahead of the other two potential ties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
