2024-25 Fixtures

I want us as high up the league too, but as Tattie states well above, it is the poisoned chalice of Europe that f*cks us over the following season. I doubt we could ever have the squad needed to compete on all fronts.

I have plenty of faith in Thelinball though, but we can still knock him if needed.

He'll get the keys to the city though when the cup comes back to Pittodrie in May.

If we do by some miraculous act of God (and Jimmy T) go on and win the cup what does that get us as far as European fitba goes? is that groups or pre-qual

I think it is along the lines of - cup winner goes into the final qualifying round of the euorpa league thingy. If they win they go the the group stages. If they lose they get a ridiculous parachute to the group stages of the bottom league thingy (in my book, if you lose you're oot. Don't care who you are).

If Tims win the cup, that poisond chalice goes to 3rd in the league. So, if we don't win the cup 4th is fine by me. Few pre-season games in some hopefully nice places.

That could all be totally wrong, but I believe it is like that.

Cheers Tattie that does kinda make sense, and I totally agree with you 210% if you get beat in any fkn cup competition irrespective what it is, if you get beat then your oot simple as that.
That parachute thing / safety net is a load of fkn bollox and just shows how fkd up the game has actually become.
Boils my p1ss every fcukin time i read that although so and so got beat fair and fkn square that they go on and get another shottie fkn disgraceful

Rant over (for now)
