That was offside wasn't it?

Mind you,
I`d never believe Pawlett scoring from a header on the edge of the box. Pffft. Lucky !!

Just been watching that on youtube Happy Days

I didn’t call it luck if you care to read my post. Over and out.

The only luck involved is that , for once everything we hit went in. For every goal, the players meant to do what they did. It was only " lucky "i in that it was the one perfect game where verything they knew they could do, they tieid, and it worked.
If it had been some Guffy team, the comentators would have been crowing about for 40 years.

Or if it was Barca, we`d all have been superwise and praised their " quality ".

Fact is, if you screw your eyes up, you could see that being Bayern Munich , at their peak. Playing like that .


You can call it luck if you want. But it denigrates a QUALITY performance.

Better thanthe Copenhagen result. That was lucky ,....because Jamie Smith was " lucky " to have those skills ?[/QUOTE]

**** fkn draw!!! As c unting usual

[deaconred]

One of Pavlovs dogs now lives in Rijeka. He's been licking his lips since he heard the draw.

[Redbull666]

Given the co-efficients, the odds on us drawing Cliftonville after QR2 are minuscule.

We should reach QR3 where we would meets the likes of:-

Sporting Braga Por 31.000 .
Legia Warsaw * Pol 24.500 .
Eintracht Frankfurt ** Ger 24.000
FCSB * Rom 23.000
Feyenoord Ned 22.000
Espanyol ** Esp 20.713
Malmö FF * Swe 20.000
Partizan Belgrade ** Srb 18.000
Standard Liège Bel 17.500
Wolverhampton Wanderers**Eng 17.092
EL2 Rus 16.000 - 48.000
EL3 ** (Torino)Ita 14.945 - 81.000 (Roma)
AEK Athens Gre 14.000
FC Midtjylland Den 14.000
Molde FK * Nor 13.500
NK Rijeka Cro 13.500
Apollon Limassol * Cyp 12.000
Hapoel Beer-Sheva * Isr 12.000
RC Strasbourg ** Fra 11.699
Zorya Luhansk (**) Ukr 11.500
AZ Alkmaar ** Ned 10.500
Arsenal Tula ** Rus 10.109

When we get to QR3, I wouldn’t mind drawing the toughest team (Roma) in the round

What's the deal with Roma and Torino in brackets, have they got to compete in a play-off or something?

Not sure, maybe something to do with Milan being expelled from Europa League?
They were supposed to be in Europa League?
Maybe Roma are taking their place (in the group automatically?) and Torino are taking Roma's spot?
All guess work

Just replace " Lucky " with " Fortunate " then , if it bothers you that much. Out and Over.

nothing as sinister.
At the time of positing, it was either going to be Torino (14.945) or Roma (81.000) that filled the EL3** spot.
It's defined now as Torino with Roma going straight into the group stage.
