There has been a disasterous result more or less each season for one - or more - of the Scottish European representatives since the mid 90s or so.

Aberdeen tend to lead the way having lost to shite from as varied places as Skonto Riga and Bohemians as I recall as well as recent ones to teams from Kazakhstan.

Kilmarnock losing to a Welsh team after winning the away leg was risible, as was Hearts getting knocked out by a team from Malta not so long ago either. Derry City came and horsed Gretna 5-1 in their sole European season. Hibs lost 9-0 in a single game once if I remember correctly - Maribor or Malmo - and Celtic have been skelped by teams with a fraction of their budget only to get back in through the back door to be soundly thumped again. Them losing to Cluj and Ferencvaros in the last 2 seasons was a riddy for them given the difference in budget between them and their victors.

But sadly the worst of all still probably belongs to us and Progres 3 years ago, given our stature and the manner of the defeat and aftermath in the hedge

That was bit of a freak result with rangers,as we've proved since.

The other results you mention are now the norm for teams from the spl.

What makes it worse is it shows you how far our football has fallen. Aberdeen beat real madrid, dundee utd were one game away from a european cup final. Compare this with the state the national team is in and sadly these results are no longer a shock.

Rangeral said 12.00

He corrected it.

 

[student_loyal]

Ha ha.

1300hrs in Switzerland, 1200hrs in UK.

Makes sense considering the times of the previous draws!

 

[student_loyal]

@rangeral - explain yourself

 

[UlsterBear91]

going to penalties, luvely juvely

 

[rangeral]

@rangeral - explain yourself

For what ever reason it now showing at 1300 for the UK

However I did see it 1200 last week

 

[JayDee]

Penalty shoot-out.

 

[Carson's Cat]

Well thank %^*& that's over. The ugliest 75 minutes of football I've seen in many a year.

 

[rossgers]

Luv a penalty shoot out.

 

[student_loyal]

Bit embarassing for Motherwell.

Hope they get through 'furra co-efficient' but also so they're knackered going to Israel before playing us.

 

[Beswgers]

This just goes to prove what I've being saying for years.

The spl, apart from them and us is at the level of the irish and welsh leagues. After kilmarnock last season and now this, no matter what the outcome is of the game, proves it for me.

Clubs outwith us and them are shopping around for players on the English fifth tier. That's mostly down to finances (and difficulties of scouting effectively beyond the UK) but it does, as you say, show the level the game is at up here.

Mind you, no-one other than ourselves, seems particularly keen to shake things up, as witnessed by the voting shambles earlier this year.

Jimmy Calderwood kept Aberdeen in Europe until January, when Bayern put them out. Prestige and good money from the run, especially the German TV cash

A season later, they sack him for poor runs in the domestic cups. That's Scottish footballs problem - too inward looking

 

[ssblue]

Motherwell through.

3 saves from Carson.

 

[Jelle1880]

Coleraine missed both their penalties so far

 

[JorgAlbertz]

2 decent saves from Carson, looks like Motherwell going through.

edit make that 3, Motherwell are through.

 

[superallythe2nd]

Motherwell out of jail now

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Motherwell through.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Woeful stuff

 

[Jelle1880]

All penalties saved, Motherwell through

 

[superallythe2nd]

3 great saves to be fair

 

[UlsterBear91]

Well that was sh*te

 

[Kuznetsov's Curly Hair]

3 good saves from Carson to send Motherwell through

 

[Puggy]

3 poor Coleraine penalties.

 

[student_loyal]

Good good but absolutely shocking quality from the part I saw

 

[bluenosebazza]

3 great saves to be fair

The 1st and 3rd are outstanding saves.

 

[Keyser_Soze]

Glad Motherwell won, they now play in Israel 3 days before they play us

 

[bkerr72]

1st penalty save was a good one the other 2 pretty straightforward for Carson.

 

[nelster]

We should be chuffed that Motherwell will be trekking about before playing us.

 

[Smkz23]

Glad Motherwell are through and thus play next Thursday as well.

 

[Awaydays72]

Glad they’ve got a midweek game before they play us next weekend

 

[Coza]

Bit embarassing for Motherwell.

Hope they get through 'furra co-efficient' but also so they're knackered going to Israel before playing us.

Was watching it thinking they will have to travel pre playing us and it negates the potential disadvantage we would have playing while they rested. So happy they are through.

 

[Donsky]

Good for us in both the travel they have to do before us, and the coefficient

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

Perfect scenario, Motherwell’s wind will be blew out their sails by the time we face them.

 

[bluenosebazza]

3 poor Coleraine penalties.

They weren’t at all. The 2nd one was a bit telegraphed but there wasnt much wrong with the 1st or 3rd.

 

[sirstevefleming]

Tell you what - those are cracking saves from Carson

 

[Clay Davis]

Before a ball was kicked for each of the three penalties you knew he was saving them

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

Away in Israel next week before they face us? Good stuff.

 

[Andrew webb]

Good that means Motherwell must now travel to Israel before they play us and play in the heat
if they had gone out a free week for you them but not now

 

[MrMosshead]

Carson saved them big time

Good result for us

 

[jimbear]

That was an absolutely absolutely brutal watch!

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

Tell you what - those are cracking saves from Carson

The first save was stunning.

 

[silverbear]

Yup! Glad Motherwell got through as it evens things out when we go to play them next week.
Always hate it when we have an away league game after an away European game.

 

[Puggy]

They weren’t at all. The 2nd one was a bit telegraphed but there wasnt much wrong with the 1st or 3rd.

I thought all 3 were poor, Just my opinion.

 

[True Blue]

A tiring journey to Israel for them next Thursday can only be to our advantage.

 

[bluenosebazza]

The first save was stunning.

The 3rd wasn’t as far in the corner but it was hit harder. It would’ve gone in if he hadnt got 2 hands to it.

 

[Rodney55]

Good result for us.

What does that do for the co efficient?
