Both teams played second string sides. As I said, good result but let’s not get carried away. 

Come on now lad, I feel the regular despairing lows following the Dons so will take the rare highs when I can without the edge being taken off.

Dons>Frankfurt>Bayern>Man Utd

Yeah. You're an empty vessel. Thanks for confirming it again.

We wouldn't have had £6m or the glory of beating Frankfurt if it wasn't for the Glasgow two, the blue one in particular

Thats a fact and there's no arguing it 

It’s not a fact, we’d have maybe qualified through the qualifiers.

Just speaking the truth. Don’t mean people can’t enjoy it but the next morning we can realise that it wasn’t a proper competitive game. 

[dave_min]

Ih Dons are back min.

We should have German fitba fans kicking about Aberdeen more often.

Or without them we’d be able to win the league and get Champions League so get £30+ Million and beat Real again

I can never work out if you’re trolling with this stuff or genuinely suffer some sort of Stockholm syndrome.

We made eight changes to ensure we have a freshness about our starting 11 in a huge match on Sunday, so it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility that we got a hiding last night. 

Instead, our second string put in a good performance (with timely goals for our back-up strikers) which will breed confidence, land us £500k and means the table ends in a relatively respectable shape. I don't think we picked up any injuries either. 

Meanwhile, the Rangers had to travel to Spain and expend a lot of energy, both physically and emotionally, in a match with a lot of stake. 

I don't think people are getting carried away but last night went almost as good as we could have hoped in the circumstances, so we may as well enjoy it.

Fuck the doubters 

Rope  a Dope Cassius Clay Robson.  Only thing Ropy Robson gets knocked down more times.    Let’s see if his Rope a Dope gets the cup against the glezga mafia on Sunday, that includes the referee the linesman and the VAR clown.

Or if we’d put the ball in the net when we should have.

[dave_min]

If you’re not getting a little bit carried away because we pumped a top Bundesliga side, then maybe football isn’t for you.

I don’t disagree with the positives you highlight from last night but did we really make 8 changes from a typical starting line up this season? That side doesn’t look so different to what we’ve been used to imo.

I’d say about 3-4 starters could be described as rested + Mio is out injured.

You're missing the point

We wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the coefficient points that lot amassed

Co-efficient points gained due to the exploits of RIFC, I really don't give two fucks about.

We got to European competition on merit and did well against well-known continental teams through our own endeavours, and not via any other club's efforts.

It was cheaper by bus, apparently all the airlines wanted exorbitant fees for baggage so Frankfurt decided to take a stand and drive instead. Good on them I say. 

Is this actually true?

Hacken lost all 6 games 

Still knackered from all the shots we had against them.

 

Good performance last night after a slow start.  Polvara was outstanding, surely played himself into contention for Sunday.  Shame to see McGarry break down again, thought he was coming onto a game.

If it was Zalgiris Vilnius, there's a possibility that may have been the case but nae Eintracht Frankfurt.

They've got an airport with direct flights to and from ABZ. I doubt paying a few extra Deutschmarks for baggage charges would prevent them from getting on an aeroplane to get to here.

€6.1m before costs so would imagine about half that but still not too shabby & certainly better than not making groups at all

3m on costs? Wise up.

It was that Moldovan mob that travelled to Pittodrie by bus, Nistru Otaci.  Cunt of a journey that must have been.

Number of stewards we paid last night just to say “hello mate” every 5 yards that’s probably an underestimate

I forgot they did it as well as Zalgiris Vilnius 6 years earlier. Never stopped Zalgiris turning us over though at Pittodrie.

Like you say min, both clubs would've had a cunt of a trek to get to Aberdeen and then back home thereafter.

I heard they saved about 20 minutes by taking the bypass all the way to the Blackdog junction rather than the airport one.

[Medw1311]

Looking at the country rankings the points from the 3 wins this week mean we will likely stay in the top 12 for the 25/26 season which would mean CW/3rd will still get guaranteed group stage games for that season.

At the start of the season I expected us to drop below 12th.

Quite ridiculous stewarding last night.

Steward asked me how I was doing and I replied "nae bad, fit like yerself?" he still asked for proof of addressed to confirm I wasn't a German infiltrator 🤣

I responded with “sehr gut” and the wifie was horrified. Then I apologised for my shite patter to confirm I wasn’t actually German. 
 

was as cringe as it sounds

I seen one steward pointing at a Frankfurt fan and shouting at him for “ticket fraud”.

Never disliked the stewards at Pittodrie quite as much as I did last night.
