Official 2023-24 Aberdeen European Football Thread

Nae Scottish referee though, or Scottish VAR

So, the current state of play is that Aberdeen are a Priority One team in the draw for the Europa League play-off round, which takes place on August 4th.

This means we'll play a team which loses the Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round. Country protection does not apply, so there's a possibility of playing the Huns in a European tie.

Not happening I'm afraid. The Champions League teams that drop into the play off round are from the Champions Path ie League winners from diddy countries. The Champions League losers that are from the non-Champions path ie sevco, drop straight into the Europa Group stages

It’s a fückin joke

If anyone ever thinks our league split, or how European spots are assigned is daft - I have just been reading about the Belgian league. F**k me, what is this all about:

I ken this thread is about the AFC, but I noticed that the Huns could play Dnipro-1, an unofficial successor club to FC Dnipro, who went bust in 2018.

It could be a defunct club derby.
