COLT NY Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think it all depends how much Football Manager they've played, and whether they selected the Scottish league at the strart of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immense. To win 0-2 away from home, drinking great beer, in a euro semi-final was the stuff of dreams and i thought it was going to last forever. How wrong I was. Even when united got cheated by roma and the ref in the european cup semi final I thought, 'aw well, we'll get there next year'. !!! Same here. Watching the BBC1 program on Scottish football tonight (and some of the previous ones) just makes me sad about our football at club and country level.

Guest flumax Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Work a lot in Norway, Denmark, Faroes, Iceland..

You could be passing through Belgium and suddenly see a station Mechelen and realise you know the name. Or realise you know that Craiova has a university (and, is a place, at all), because they once played Dundee United (it seems they are now defunct - the club not the university). And what about TNS (Total Network Solutions), Videoton, Anorthosis Famagusta, etc... So I'd have thought Aberdeen and Dundee United would be better known than Hibs and Hearts on grounds of European exposure. But by that argument, clubs like Gretna and Queen of the South could be better known than larger rivals. Uni Craiova (the club) still exists in some form. A barman at my local pub in Guernsey supports them and I have mentioned a few times of the time I saw us beat them during one of our European runs back in the day. In fact he is back there on holiday right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Mail has likely line ups for today's Dundee v Aberdeen fixture with Dundee in orange shirts, black shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
