We are seeded but it works in a funny way so there could easy be a monster unseeded. We'll most likely play a team who were knocked out of Champions League QR2 so could be someone shite like Shamrock Rovers or a monster like Galatasaray etc When we get our pot we'll certainly be praying for some over others. There is a slimer chance we could play a team from Europa QR3. Maybe get lucky with a Brann, Servete Link to comment

Tord31 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thats as things stand e.g., leagues finish as is across europe and the favourites win the domestic and european cups. Also assumes all favourites win in CL/Europa QR1-QR3 Gives you the idea of the mixed bag it is. Dons/Caley will play a pot 4 or pot3 Link to comment

BrisDon Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The trips for the 07/08 campaign remain some of my greatest memories of following the Dons. Didn’t have a ticket for the Atletico game so ventured the stadium in hope and was almost crushed to death against the club shop when their ultras charged down the hill. Managed to find a dodgy bloke selling a ticket outside their main stand and ended up sitting next to an American couple. Educated them on the finer point of Scottish football which I’m sure they appreciated as I was still bleezing from the pre-matchers. Chuffed for the current generation of loons who now get the opportunity for similar experiences. 3 Link to comment

Losers are off to Conference League. In CLQR2 the losers start falling in to Europa. So we are cheering the favourites in that round. They will likely be our opponents. Those CLQR2 losers all play each other in Europa QR3. We are back to cheering for upsets. Want a weaker team to get through. Those are five of our potential opponents. And a high probably this team has to play 6 or 8 midweeks in a row which has always been a cunt for us running out of steam. Wee chance we could play the teams genuinely started in Europa QR3. So we cheer the minnows in that round. I think we are going to best with a league winner that starts in QR1 of champions league and our second leg is their 8th midweek tie in a row Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Billy Dodds will be using our 3rd placed celebrations (confidence in Europa play off spot) as a big motivator for Caley in final. Just hope Celtics desperation for Treble & matching/beating the combined 2x Huns teams for ‘most successful team’ BS gets them up for it Carter Vicers missing has been a huge loss for them in defence. Shipped 9 goals in last 3 games without him. He’s missed their last 4 & only clean sheet was his first game missing v Hearts. Link to comment

Ramandu Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 You're focusing on the wrong thing guys. Finish top 2 in a euro group and we'll have a good chance of becoming a Top 100 Club. Better than winning a trophy. Link to comment

Medw1311 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I notice that (provisionally) the team that finishes 3rd (or 4th depending on cup winners) next season will be guaranteed 2 European ties. Instead of entering Conference League QR3 they will enter at Europa League QR2 with the loser of that tie then dropping through to Conference League QR3. Link to comment

So a lot worse off than this season We’d best win the Europa cup (or failing that the conference cup) to be safe 👍 Link to comment
