European Adventure

Nobody's saying we're GOING to do it, folk are just saying we're in a great position to give it a go.

My opinion, we would be better off without Europe.
We have a big job on our hands at end of the season replacing loan players and strengthening the squad without the distraction of European football.
Going to be a tough season with Plastic pitches of Killie, Falkirk and possibly livingston on surfaces we tend to lose on.

Better off without Europe is a ridiculous take, imo

Yeah I don't get that mindset either. For one thing,being in Europe means we don't have to take part in the shytey league cup group stage.

Would also be an incentive for players to come.

Yeah , totally understand your take on that. In saying that, we may end up playing in Europe whether we like it or not.

I can't see, unless, there are a few crazy scores along the way, us not ending up fifth. And... agree with ADS about not having to play in that early league thingy...

Then........... the money thing comes in to it (as always)

Totally agree about the plastic (all weather) pitches... Possibly, 5 SPL teams playing in Europe , yet, still have to play on that sh*t ???

I don't care how much money they make out of those pitches "off peak"

Top league in Scotland ...........grass ONLY.

Hope to see them Dundee United back in Europe!

I kind of get what they mean though. If you look at Kilmarnock - did really well last season and qualified for Europe, but they've really struggled this season which you could argue that is down to the extra games/travelling early season and not having a squad big enough to deal with it. Same could be said for Hearts - they were stinking early season after finishing well clear in third.

There will be games of fine margins, outrageous var decisions and sheer good or bad fortune to come, next few games will be the usual edge of the seat stuff, it?s the SPL race for Europe

Thinking about when Jack Ross took us to Alkmaar if only the overhead scissors kick from Harkes had gone in who knows what may have followed

I believe Goodwin to be a far better manager and hungry which is a good thing. I do think it?s time to give him credit for getting us here.

It is almost certainly going to be Europe next season and the higher up the league we finish the more likely the experience will be good, especially if we avoid the sh*tty cup

Got to go for it, and against Celtic that means tight at the back both for goal difference and giving ourselves a chance

Yeah Europe for me is the aim - no way I would want us to miss out on it and it can help get us better team next season.

I also believe that with JG we are better run and organised

Touch wood but I don?t think we will be underprepared for Europe like some teams have been with change of manager etc
