scottyc06 6,927 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 2-1 Ufa after the first leg, 2nd leg this Thursday 6pm. We really want Progres to win this. The most obvious reason for this is the distance to Ufa. We're looking at a 5 hour flight on the Thursday night after the game to get back in to Glasgow on Friday AM then travelling to the piggery on Sunday lunchtime. Throwing in the impact of a 4 hour time difference as well to adjust to. Not ideal preparation by any stretch. Again that time difference will be cunt, Ufa's game with Progres was a 3pm kick off uk time. (won't affect the team but not ideal for viewing it here, possible lack of coverage as well if Premier don't see it as being profitable with such an early kick off). Absolute nightmare for anyone wanting to attend, I know these are the types of games you live for but it's going to be very pricey with visa's & flight prices etc. And just because, we owe them one!!

bluchoo 846 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Not counting any chickens but has it been decided if the winner of us v Maribor will be home or away first in the next round? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

five stars 1,767 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hopefully its Progres but we can't take getting through against Maribor for granted. It's likely to be a very difficult 2nd leg if they score first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
With Heart and Hand 8,951 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 i take it the russian mob are a good team? I dont really know anything about either team but id rather play Progress as they will feel under pressure to beat us and we usually take advantage of that. Also we're a much better team than last time we played them and id like to see us redeem ourselves. Compared to the league i couldnt give a shit about how we do in Europe but beating Progess and proving ourselves in the Europa League will give us the confidence we need to tear into these fenian bastards and win this league. But im confident we can qualify no matter the opposition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If they only lost 2 - 1 away from home, without seeing the game I guess it possibly shows maybe they weren't that bad and/or the Russian mob maybe aren't that great. One thing is for sure we're certainly a lot better. One more big performance on Thursday and I think we've a real chance of doing this. One step at a time though.

stevemac 5,426 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I think IF we get past Maribor, I think we have to get the job done at Ibrox and then field a weaker team against progres/ufa away, resting our best players and leaving them at home for the away tie.

FSM 20,892 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Maribor are done, they have absolutely no chance against us on Thursday. They'd be best just forfeiting the game to save themselves some more humiliation at the hands of the world's most successful team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's progres we draw then we know they are a weaker team than Maribor so should be an easier tie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose an early goal and it could be a long night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched their players at the final whistle last week and their body language suggested they knew the tie was gone not just having lost the first game. However a week of recovery and putting it behind them mentally they will come out expecting to be able to win 2 0 it is up to us to dampen that enthusiasm but keeping the game tight.

scottyc06 6,927 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 The third goal at Ibrox just about tied this up, a goal in Maribor & it’s game over as there’s not a chance we are shipping 3 goals to this mob! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
