Geoff_Tipps Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'd rather we didn't qualify for Europe, I'd much rather play in the early rounds of the league cup. You? 3 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Someone said this to me on Wednesday. As much as I'd love to play Forfar away competively on a Saturday 3pm lets save it for the Scottish Cup. Europe all the way especially since we are slated to be seeded in Qr1 and Qr2 this time as things stand Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Stupid question. Europe all the way. We're not expecting to do well in Europe, therefore missing the banana skins in League cup early rounds is a better choice. Plus the potential of doing well and facing decent sides. Link to comment

I'd rather we'd win silverware and that said we should be focussing on League Cup. If we get into Euro group stages our domestic form would suffer, we don't have the resources to compete at that level unfortunately. 2 Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Europe every time. No reason we cant play 3 or 4 rounds with crowds of over 15k...............theres money to be made that just wouldn't be there facing the likes of Stranraer or Edinburgh City away. We won't get a draw like Burnley as early again Link to comment
Proud Dandy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Better title would be Scottish cup final or Europa league. Couldn’t give a shit about the league cup until the QFs Link to comment

Chewie37 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'd rather we didn't qualify for Europe, I'd much rather play in the early rounds of the league cup. You?Ridiculous. What’s your reasoning here? That you don’t want the club to be attracting better players, making more money from larger gates, generating interest early in the season for the team? You’d prefer local matches to go to as it’s cheaper than an away game in Europe? You want us to get less money from a lower final league placing? You want the chance of an embarrassing result against lower league sides as it’ll basically be pre-season? Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Europe Away trips Something a bit different from the abject boredom of Scottish opposition and the chance we might just luck through to he groups and make some money. Link to comment

AllyDon Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Europe or Tennents Sixes?Tennent Sixes was a great competition. Really enjoyed the fun of the games. Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'm not sure I understand How does playing in Europe thereby getting a bye to the knock out rounds of the league Cup prevent us winning the league Cup?That's what I thought when I read it. I think he must assume that having to play 3 or 4 more games in a tournament would give you more of a chance of winning it !?! Very odd thread this. lol Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Just don’t see why you think a group stage against Elgin does us any good whatsoever. Our problem in cups under Derek, unlike his predecessors, has not been the Stranraers of this world. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 This has to be a terrible fishing trip........close thread to save any further embarrassment Link to comment
BonnieDon Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'd rather we didn't qualify for Europe, I'd much rather play in the early rounds of the league cup. You? What is wrong with certain folk on here. Why on earth would you rather not play in Europe? bizarre. Talk about a lack of ambition and been satisfied with mediocrity. I much prefer watching Aberdeen play European opposition than domestically in the league or cups - its considerably more exciting/ entertaining. Link to comment
Jocky Balboa Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'd rather we'd win silverware and that said we should be focussing on League Cup. If we get into Euro group stages our domestic form would suffer, we don't have the resources to compete at that level unfortunately.I disagree with you here, the only way we can get to the next level as a club (which would be a serious - as opposed to a token - title challenge, and/or Europa League group stages) is by playing against good opposition, at a higher level than the dross of SFL1/2. Without wanting to bash McInnes generally, we have spurned great opportunities (Kazakhstan and especially Cyprus) to get closer to that group stage and I don't think it's beyond us as a club, with the right management team, right backing at board level AND the right attitude from the players, to be aspiring to that level.
