albluenose1990 29 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 After the Europa League qualifying round 1&2 draw was made today it saw Dundee United paired with quite possibly the toughest draw they could have been given. Considering they were seeded in the first place, to be drawn against a team who finished 2nd in the Polish league and above a team who beat Man City in the Europa League last season you can't help but feel a bit sorry for Tannadice men. I will be pleasantly suprised if United make it through as it will most importantly boost Scotland's co-efficient, but it will be a tough ask.

DamienM855 413 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was kinda optimistic about Dundee's chances in this...And then i remembered they have lost half of their team to the bosman rule. Think Johnny Russel is the only bright spark they'll have left for this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albluenose1990 29 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Same mate, everyone's gone. They've brought in Willo Flood but he's had some bad injury's at Middlesborough so probably won't be the same player he was when he left them in the first place.

MasterD 7,230 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I would have been surprised if they got through no matter which team they got in the draw, apart from Aberdeen 2-2 against Bayern Munich I don't think I've seen a decent result from any non old firm Scottish team in Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,230 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Time period?Cause i'd say Dundee Utd beating Barcelona four times, Hibs smashing Napoli 5-0 and Aberdeen beating Hamburg and Real Madrid were pretty decent results.In my lifetime that I have personally seen, I did write that in my first post but I went to change something and must have deleted it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if United had got a similar draw then i could have seen them getting past teams of that quality. But your right, good results in the last 5/6 years for non-old firm teams have been few and far between. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a draw is made no matter who it's against, good or bad you do feel it's more likely to see a shock than a comfortable win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxou 66 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Dundee won't get through imo. Hearts have better chances, considering their summer siginings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
