Then losing to some part timers from Azerbaijan or Romania. It is mate. Football can be brutal towards the fans. 14 mins to go, cruising it, then disaster strikes. That’s life.

I’m well overdue a European trip I really hope Hearts qualify this season. Do you get over to many of the away European ties? The best we have this season is a trip to Waterford to watch our U20/Colts team in the Challenge Cup. I’ll be giving that a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good luck to Hearts with the trip across the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts tonight with Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona on ITV4 for anyone who enjoys Spanish football. Underwhelming performance from Barcelona last night. Messi out injured, Suarez injured first half, Dembele and Griezmann failed to step up. Will add weight to the calls to bring Neymar back! Great winning goal from Aduriz though.

Groundhopping Owl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Took in my first German game today, Greuther Fürth 1-0 Jahn Regensburg in the second tier. Brilliant atmosphere, dreadful game. Would probably compare it to a mid-table SPL game in terms of quality, somewhere maybe top end of League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say you took it in and second tier, were you actually at the game? if so, what did they charge at the turnstiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Champions league group stage draw today. With UEFA classing Russia as one of the top 6 countries it means that Zenit are seeded in pot 1, ahead of some strong teams in pot 2 including last year's finalist and semi finalist, the team that's won 4 of the last 6 Champions Leagues, plus Atletico who have made 2 of the last 6 finals and Dortmund. Inter in pot 3 makes for a potential group of death. Can't see Celtic anywhere though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
