McEwan's Lager 30,802 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 If we finish second do we skip the first qualifying round, or will it be Motherwell for winning/finish runners up in the cup? If we finish third obviously we are going to be in the first qualifying round. I’m unsure what the best option would be for us. Getting as many competing games under our belt early on or having an extra two weeks off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Vandenbroucke 26,323 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 If we finish second and the tarriers win the cup then I think we go in at the second qualifying round. Would sum up our season tbh if we have to rely on them winning demise and McEwan's Lager 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Can't see us finishing above the sheep and Hibs. We have absolutely no fight about us. They'll blow us over in the league split. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen are just as abysmal as us with a dead man walking as Manager. Hearts are also terrible. I can see us finishing third with Hibs second at this rate.

Yeah and the alternative is League Cup sections. I’d rather a trip to Malta getting pumped by Hamrun Spartans or whoever than getting pumped by Forfar on a Friday night.

We couldn't get them, they're currently 8th in the Maltese Premier League and 16 points away from the nearest Europa League spot with one game left to play.

There's no reason why we can't do both. We need to get re-established in Europe which helps attract better players and brings in more money, which helps us to build a team to compete in Scotland.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,231 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hard to even care about the Europa League tbh. We will be pumped out before the schools even go back just like every other Scottish team who play in it are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,397 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Worst fucking nightmare, finish 4th and end up relying on that mob to win the Treble just so we qualify for Europe, beyond a fucking mess. Fuck Europe if that's the case, I'd rather Motherwell pumped them than us getting into it through the tims success, even if it means back into those shitey League Cup groups again come July.

MrMckee 3,436 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 No interest what so ever at the moment. If we get a decent manager in and a few quality signings I take more of an interest but not at the front of my mind at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gj923 1,457 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 2nd misses a round unless Motherwell win the cup. 1st qualifying game is the 12th July! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
