BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Well our day of destiny is upon us Anyone got any great preferences about where the adventure will take us Not long to wait to find out now. Quote
BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 Of the 48 sides that will contest the group stage this autumn, 16 are already known: Villarreal CF, FC Augsburg, FC Schalke 04, Liverpool FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC, ACF Fiorentina, SSC Napoli, SC Braga, Olympique de Marseille, FC Lokomotiv Moskva, FC Groningen, FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, RSC Anderlecht, Be?ikta? JK, Asteras Tripolis FC, FC Sion. Of the remaining 32 teams, 22 come from qualifying, which begins at the end of June and culminates in August's play-offs. Then there are ten teams that transfer from the UEFA Champions League after losing that competition's play-offs. Interesting that FC Gronigen go straight into group stages despite early exit from competition at our hands last year Quote
Jute Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Allegedly we can get one from the following in 1st round Bala Town FC (WAL) KF Shkëndija (MKD) SJK Seinäjoki (FIN) Glenavon FC (NIR) Víkingur (FRO) Would like to think we will get past all of the above. Quote

Interesting that FC Groningen go straight into group stages despite early exit from competition at our hands last year Surely that's just because they finished higher in the league? I'd agree Jute, if we failed to get past those, it would be pretty embarrassing. Quote

BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 Strange regionalisation there for us to draw a team from Macedonia ??? Quote
manc_don Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Strange regionalisation there for us to draw a team from Macedonia ??? Was wondering that myself, St. Johnstone have some team from Albania Wouldn't fancy that myself, on or off the pitch. Quote

scotfree Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 I've been hearing that their fans are a bit hardcore and don't like away fans much.... Quote
BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 So get through to the second round and we play in Croatia FFS Quote
BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 If we get to third round we will take Rijeka's seeding. Quote
BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 McInnes on SSN just now Difficult draw, tough team, heat a problem, but confident and capable of beating Macedonians and doesn't want to comment on potential second round opponents. Feels we need luck on our side, wants to repeat success of European campaign last season, and hope to improve as we go along. Feels our squad is strong, competition for places, hopes to sign another one or two before window closes but not before European games. Any improvement on last season domestically or in Europe is progress for AFC etc etc.... Quote
BigAl Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 Rijeka beat both Feyenord and Standard Liege over two legs last year and drew with Sevilla at home also. Going to be tough to get through this Quote
