er yir macaroon Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Going back to the usual Europa pre-qualifier ineptitude. The Aberdeen team of right now, whilst fully fit, would do Ok. I can more or less guarantee they'll be out in the first round come the next tournament and will be correctly blaming rustiness for another dismal exit. We need summer football or this will continue indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbrew Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Gibraltarian team which beat Celtic failed to win 14th league in a row which would have been European/world record. So 2nd placed Gib team beat Celtic (well aware of second leg result etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be difficult for teams to hit the ground running after a friendly against a highland league team straight into competitive matches against teams who can be in mid season.

Love hearing the stories of the squad who made the journey over. Jim Craig getting all teary at the end was emotional stuff. As was Sunday's display and chorus of 'in the best of Lisbon' as the team came out. It was electrifying and a fiiting tribute to Scotland's greatest ever side. Edit: should also mention the display at Firhill too actually, when they replicated the terrace in Lisbon with the two sticks. 'Celtic OK' with the glued on macaroni and even see one guy with the famous t shirt with 'Jock Stein' scribbled on it with green marker pen Edited May 25, 2017 by Reevesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on the turnover in the squad too. Ive seen Motherwell teams take to the field in Europa league qualifiers with players that haven't even trained together, never mind played together! Stuart Mccall didn't have that excuse when he treated Stjarnan as a pre-season friendly and expected to beat them without a proper pre-season. (They went on to beat legia warsaw and lose to inter, I kind of hold a grudge against McCall for blowing the chance to see Motherwell in the San Siro.)

What's wrong with celebrating a late win when your 1-0 down on 80 minutes to secure European football for the first time in 5 years? Confused!
