Just been drawn against istanbul...

First game is on 9th August. A week after the Aberdeen home leg. Second game is on the 16th.

Given we play Aberdeen at home on 2nd August, I think your dates are wrong.

Not sure what to make of that - I fancied a trip to Norway

Yes, Istanbul very much toward the bottom of my wish list.

There may be fixture reversals, date changes etc so - unless you're happy to take the risk - just be a little careful until tomorrow's been and gone in assuming what's when.

The hardest possible tie yet again, they really don't want us to make the group stages.

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Mon Jul 23, 2018 1:19 pm

Dates subject to reversal. Not sure whether Besiktas were home or away in their first game but that could see us change if so.

Top Don · Post by **Top Don** » Mon Jul 23, 2018 1:20 pm

Regardless of which of us go through, that is the worst possible draw in footballing terms.
Finished third in Turkish League last season and seem to have a fair bit of financial clout behind them.

Against that, have never been to Istanbul

Sport Options should put a package on however, with it being last minute the club will be under pressure to announce details Incase we beat Aberdeen.

Tough draw again, probably the hardest of the 5 possible. We'd have been better off finishing 3rd in our league to get better draws. Anyhow, bring on Thursday!

Why is it named after him though? He managed Galatasaray for years, are they not rivals?

Lads listen, it's very important to you don't get too ahead of yourself. Learn from the mistakes of the past, most recently seen with the England team in Russia. You have a MAMMOTH task ahead of you to get through this. Dont put all your eggs in on basket, fellas. You KNOW I'll be the first one here to say I told you so as soon as that final whistle blows. I'll be waiting, lads.

Going onto holiday websites to check flight prices like giddy teenagers on their first European exchange trip....lads, really? EMBARRASSING.
There's self awareness courses you can go on, boys. Help you take a step back and see how you come across to others.
The bit further up the thread when flight prices were getting compared was pure unadulterated CRINGE

Feet on the ground, fellas, that's right, deep breaths, deep breaths....

To be fair Millertime, I don't think it's getting ahead of ourselves, as it's very unusual to have next round draws of competitions where the previous rounds have yet to take place. It is human nature to discuss and speculate.

Do not for one minute think that the players and fans of Burnley will be taking Aberdeen lightly in any way shape or form.

Daz Bentley has tweeted me to say the club will not be providing transport as it is too short notice.

Should the club arrange something and take a hit on the costs accrued if we lose to Aberdeen?
