Europa League 2020-21 Qualifying Draw

[SeeBass]

Does anybody know who we could potentially get on Monday?  I'm a bit gutted it is only one leg and even if we were drawn at Pittodrie that I'm missing out on my 20th European match.  I've heard somewhere there will be certain teams from various countries avoided because of the travel restriction is that right??

Tom, I knew about this list just I'd seen something somewhere that some of those teams wouldn't be potential opponents because of new air travel rules so wasn't sure which if true would be ruled out.  Watch this will be going to Northern Ireland or Wales anyhow if drawn away!!  I'd like to go play Sirens of Malta or Noah of Armenia sounds quite biblical if getting through against them!! 

[BigAl]

Northern Ireland, Wales, Faroe Islands or Iceland are the only countries I think we can draw a team from

To be honest, given the fact that there will be no trip away there just doesn't feel like the usual level of excitement surrounding this. 

[Jute]

Teams in white are ones we can draw.

[BigAl]

Runavik or Barry Town it is then 

What fucking excitement 

[Jute]

At home so no travel or ropey plastic pitch to deal with.

[tup1]

We will surely hammer either of them.

Don't be a lunatic. Grab the first in the 8th minute, then sit tight. Don't get carried away. Respect the opposition, and so on.

[tom_widdows]

What, like last time?

 

[RicoS321]

I was at the home game, completely forgot the scoreline in the away. Kiriakov and Rowson, the dream midfield (unless Rowson was fullback that day?).

[donsdaft]

Still drying out from that night.

Did it rain heavily or were you drinking heavily?

[donsdaft]

Both

 

Much drink was taken right enough 

[SeeBass]

I'd like the Faroese team but can't see it even though they're playing at Home against Barry Town United.  I hate repeated history so require variety in my life.  Fact Hibernian played them two year ago is another reason why we'd prefer either Breidablik, Glentoran, HB Torshavn!!!  Blame our 33% brain injury from birth for such nonsense spouted.  Got a very strange reply where our admission on club Facebook page about feeling gutted game wasn't going to be said 20th Home European match????      

[tom_widdows]

Barry Town got their asses handed to them 5-1

Was 0-0 at half time

NSI Runavik at Pittodrie this time next week. Hopefully by the the Dons will have worked out how to string more than 2 passes together

[Jute]

Game next week v Runavik to be shown on premier sport plus free to season ticket holders via Red tv.

Prediction: 

Aberdeen 2 - 0 Runavik.

[tup1]

We should make light work of these fishermen.

If approach game in a professional manner should thrash this mob. Hibs beat them 12-5 over two legs a few years back.

Hopefully we actually have a striker by then
