European Playoff Games | Final Round | 19/20/21/26/27/28 Aug '25

[Gorbachev]

We are bound to get them away.

100%

They are 1,000 miles east of Iran and 960 miles from Tibet.

How are they deemed a European team.

 

[Pell]

We are bound to get them away.

With a game against one of the big 6 on the weekend.

100%

They are 1,000 miles east of Iran and 960 miles from Tibet.

How are they deemed a European team.

Seemingly because about 15% of the country is in Europe, so a similar situation to Russia.

 

[No.8]

Lowest ranked club ever to knock out an Old Firm club

Very Nice……

 

[Gorbachev]

Lowest ranked club ever to knock out an Old Firm club

Very Nice……

Ranked 311 in the European coefficients

One place above Derry and one place below Differdange of Luxembourg.

They must be one of the lowest ranked teams I think I have ever seen make the CL.

I am expecting some absolute trouncings coming up for them. Like 8 or 9-0 defeats.

 

[Pell]

Pafos are through for the first time also, knocked out former champions Red Star.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Time to resurrect the headline “Super Kairat go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious.”?

Nicked that for the Rangers forum, they love your work

 

[eyalluvitt]

A long distance trip to a barren country with weird food, barbarian natives constantly mocked by the media for incest and who speak an unintelligible language, yet despite all those obstacles Kairat still managed to win.

Nicked that for the Rangers forum, they really love your work

 

[Gorbachev]

Pafos are through for the first time also, knocked out former champions Red Star.

That will be a good away day.

Bodø/Glimt are through as well.

Some new teams at least.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

You know we’ll get Shakhtar Donetsk anyway.

 

[Gorbachev]

You know we’ll get Shakhtar Donetsk anyway.

Only downside with getting Bodø/Glimt, Pafos and Kairat is the away allocation being so small.

We could get 2 of those teams.

All joking aside this is a real embarrassment for Scottish football


But that’s for another night ….. tonight’s nothing but joy and laughter

That'll be in Poland though

It is nothing to do with that, all the former USSR countries ended up in UEFA whether or not they had an acre in europe.

'In my country there is problem
And the problem is transport
It take very very long
Because Kazakhstan is big.'

It is nothing to do with that, all the former USSR countries ended up in UEFA whether or not they had an acre in europe.

What about Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan? All ex-Soviet, all playing in Asian competitions. Kazakhstan switched from AFC to UEFA years after the Soviet Union ended. It’s probably beneficial to them as their clubs can play in the European CL and get much more money than playing in the AFC CL. And the reason they could do this is because part of their country is in Europe.

 

[No.8]

Kazakhstan switched from AFC to UEFA years after the Soviet Union ended.

And thank God they did…….

 

[Gray]

Going to some away day that to Almaty for some.

Quite close to China.

Further east than Mumbai.

It was 71F there last night what is the betting it will be minus 20 if we draw them away.

 

[bennyboy]

The Ali G jokes are funny as.
