Dons In Europe - 2023/24

[milne_afc]

Doesn’t your employer pull you up in the summertime for low productivity @Tord31

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Fuck me, this looks pretty difficult.

A bit speculative just now, but gives us a fair idea of the standard. 

Europa League would be even harder. 

In the conference we could get Juventus, Fenerbache & Sparta Prague.

Dynamo Kyiv , Fenerbahce and Maccabi Haifa

Between war , earthquakes and terrorism we’ve got all the angles covered for the Group of Death ….literally.

Juve, Villa, AEK Athens and Aberdeen.

Would take that but hope we are in the Europa.

If we get Villa Shinnie might win himself a big move completely dominating McGinn as per 

[englishred]

Financially europa would be better especially if we can get a win and a couple of draws. Even in the conference league last year hearts got more money winning two games than they would have winning both domestic cups!

Europa is better for 3 teams progressing which would make every game a cup final all the way through

[Dandyesque]

After missing out for a season, I hope we get a few games we can hope to get a win in. We need a few results to improve our rankings.

[Sheep Shagger]

I really hope we get Juventus.

A Duk masterclass against them then a showboat winner. Next season can't come soon enough

Surely we want to see us up against the best quality teams in the group stages. It's 16 years since we last played group stage football so who knows when we may get another chance to play in the group stages?

Winnable play-off tie please then bring on the quality.

Well, we want one divvy team so we're third at worst.

Don’t think we can get Hearts or Hibs 

[fine-n-dandy]

Looking at the potential draws should we somehow get into Europa groups, it would be some achievement to even finish in 3rd place. Only teams that I would fancy us ‘confidently’ is the ones in our own pot 🤣

We can beat anyone in a one off game at pittodrie

If you look at a list of opposition Clubs and can’t spot the diddy, then clearly you’re the diddy.

I bet you Hearts thought the same before playing Istanbul and fiorentina 

[Theyorkshirered]

Does anyone know if we are a seeded team or unseeded team for the draw?

If we are unseeded, I'm taking we would play at home first? 

Need to give a month notice for holiday for work and I'm not missing out on the away tie

In Europa Play Off round there is not seeds as such.

Random draw for home or away.

We can do another Copenhagen if its on and who is to say the opposition will need a result in each game.

Maybe not anyone but plenty of the teams in these group stages, and not all of them will play every game as a cup final.

I wouldnt look in to Hearts campaign much as they knew they were out at half time in the first game as they were being skudded about 3-0 by the Turks and knew Fiorentina were there, and that it was only 2 teams progressing. 3 Teams progressing would be a completely different mind set

[Betty Swallicks]

Not a huge difference in quality between the Europa and Conference so hopefully we get into Europa. Sneaking 3rd in the group (realistically the best we can hope for) and dropping down to Conference knock out stage would be decent.

I posted in the Europa League section but I'll add here that the process to determine our Europa League Play Off opponent kicks off this week with the draws for CL-Q1 tomorrow and CL-Q2 on Wednesday.

The draw for EL-PO itself is not until August 7th but unless we draw Lugano then there is a high chance we won't know our actual opponent until the evening of August 17th. That would only give us 1 week until the 1st leg of our tie on August 24th.

Doesn’t give the ‘half n half’ scarfers much time

Purely for research purposes of course!

[The Cockney Don]

Liverpool in the group stage would be amazing.

The Hammers daaaan the road here wouldn't be bad either.

[Tord31]

Champions League Qr1 draw was yesterday and Qr2 draw is today.

Starting to map up the possibilities slightly more now.

I think my dream trip to Gibraltar is over as Lincoln Red Imps have drawn Qarabag in QR1

Also, Hibs find out who they're playing in the conference league QR2 today.

There but for the grace of Robson go we.
