Our first attempt at the stadium was a bit of a disaster. One wanted to leave within 15 mins, the other lasted a bit longer. But I had promised flags and there were no flags🤦‍♂️ So will see if we can tempt them again! I'm sure the doughnuts will be sufficient blackmail :D 

Nothing wrong with that.  Just getting practice in for watching Dons.

I saw Scotland play Japan 4 years ago in Rennes 😊

I don't think England will win they have a few injuries to key players!

I was at Wembley when they won the Euros (supporting the Germans of course) so defo do not want them winning again 

I didn't actually mind England winning the women's Euros. It was fine - they seem a decent bunch and the media were pretty mild about it all.

The men winning is different. The media are intolerable, and imagine Jordan Pickford getting a knighthood for winning something.

Tbf I did clap at the end and wait to see them get the trophy and they do come across well.

Don't even go there would be horrid!!

So West Ham prove a diddy team can win a european trophy in these fucked up times.

Final for the Europa league is in Dublin
Conference league is still to be decided (for whatever reason)

 

UEFA are looking at bigger venues for conference finals. Original plan was for these games to be played in small venues to spread finals around countries that could not host a champions league final but they have now decided to look at that due to demand for tickets for first two finals.

Makes sense, guess it just depends on “small”. I’m pleased for west ham, should serve as an inspiration to other teams that the dream is still there.

I think Patrik Myslovic has scored a last minute winner for MSK Zilina tonight.  You know what is happening guys.  We're getting them in Conference League Group Stage and he's coming back to haunt us at Pittodrie.  Don't say we didn't warn you.

Not happening SeeBass

We've a 28.4% chance of making the Europa League group stages, apparently.

I didn't actually realise until now that every team we could face has a better coefficient than us - except Lugano, who we probably don't want to face anyway.

Olympiakos have a high coefficient, but got hammered by Maccabi Haifa (another possible opponent) in the Champions League qualifiers last year, scraped through against Slovan Bratislava and Apollon Limassol on penalties to make the Europa groups, then finished bottom of a group that involved Freiburg 🇩🇪,Qarabag 🇦🇿 and Nantes 🇫🇷, which I suspect is why they're being written off.

Think I'd still prefer to get Flora Tallinn, who are currently 1-0 down to Rakòw Częstochowa after the first leg of their Champions League qualifier.

Am I right in saying we could get HJK Helsinki or Zalgiris Vilnius?  I'd quite fancy another trip to Finland but we need revenge for that horrendous loss at Pittodrie in 1996 to Lithuanian lot.  Remember listening to that match on the radio and being quite scared we'd blow a 4-1 away victory.

Of that, Hacken (who looked handy despite the doing we gave them under Glass) have just been knocked out of the Champions League by a team from the Faroes, so they or Vilnius might be the best of that group. 

Zrinjski are Bosnian champions but again preferable to some of the others.

A team from Belarus is a bit dicey since they're big pals with Russia. We may wish to bring our own water and food to that one.

I personally don't want BK Hacken, Breidablik or Qarabag as we've played all them fairly recently.  Nor Dnipro despite them being under a new guise.  I'm one for variety is the spice of life.  I'd take the winner of Sheriff Tiraspol or BATE Borisov.

Thinking that this is pretty much as good as it could have been.

I'm going to be in Greece for both legs of this unfortunately, so I'll just have to wait for the actual league section ties to see us.

Didn't really foresee this as an issue when I booked as it was January and we all know what Goodwin was doing at that point 

Laughing at the reaction of some Hearts supporters suggesting we always get the easy draws 😂

Like I said a few days ago, best draw we could have got, but by no means the stick on to win many think it is.

Even Vilnius, was it not last season they beat Malmo to make the group stages?

Hearts could be in Greece to face PAOK while you're there..
