Starting to get exciting!

I think your right about consecutive matches. Might be worth having a look at Wyness too, I seem to recall him having a great length of stay in the team too.

I didn't even know this was on, Why would they hold the U20 World Cup at the same time as the U21 Euro Championships? I'd have thought Germany and Portugal would have players available for both of these tournaments but due to clashing had to have 2 different squads completely.

West Ham are in round 1 I think

Yeah they are all unseeded, Out of the 51 unseeded teams last season only 8 of them beat the seeded side so the chances of us playing any of those sides are quite slim I think.

Last Season Aberdeen won 8-0 on AGG in the 1st Round. They are seeded again this year so I think they'll be ok.

I think he'll end up at lower end premier side, if the money was right though I would like to see him back here.

Looks to me like we can eliminate the following seeded sides from Round 1 as they will be unseeded for Round 2 regardless of who they beat. Željezničar CC: 6.000 Randers CC: 5.960 Strømsgodset CC: 5.875 KR CC: 5.600 Jagiellonia Białystok CC: 5.550 Botoșani CC: 5.259 Lokomotiva CC: 5.200 Shamrock Rovers CC: 5.150 F91 Dudelange CC: 5.025 Inter Baku CC: 5.000 Linfield CC: 4.975 Beroe Stara Zagora CC: 4.850 Valletta CC: 4.841 Differdange 03 CC: 4.775 Rabotnički CC: 4.675 Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino CC: 4.650 Aberdeen CC: 4.580 Dacia Chișinău CC: 4.500 Koper CC: 4.475 St Patrick's Athletic CC: 4.400 Beitar Jerusalem CC: 4.200 Zrinjski Mostar CC: 4.000 HB CC: 3.950 Budućnost Podgorica CC: 3.875 Birkirkara CC: 3.591 Domžale CC: 3.475 Vaduz CC: 3.450

The team from Liechtenstein and Israel are seeded for round 1 though so are not able to be seeded for round 2 as they can't take over a higher ranking. That's why I think that's another 2 countries we can't go to.

I would quite fancy a team that will provide a bit of atmosphere too. Split can have attendances between 15 to 20000.

Been to split, Dubrovnik and Zagreb before and loved it, Croatia would be one of my fav ties but would be hard going to win. I thought the price to Rijeka was quite high actually, it was telling me there was 2 changes, one stopping off in Riga!! Most of the others are all change in London with a couple direct.

​Can we play Austrian teams? Could only find one side and they are also unseeded for the 2nd round draw. Also have a look for: Liechtenstein Israel

From looking at the 1st round seedings it will be very unlikely we will get a trip away to Ireland/Wales. I just can't see them winning against the seeded sides. Linfield are also a seeded side in the 1st round so if they win and get through they are then unseeded for the second round so can't play us anyway.

Some of them may end up losing to unseeded teams in the 1st round but out of 51 teams last year only 8 teams managed to beat the seeded side so I don't think there will be too many changes. I had a look on skyscanner for a quick look at flights for each destination, there was some places I just couldn't find flights for though.

On my way home from work now, my mind was on the cup final the whole time!

Thought it would be a bit weird selling £75 cup final tops that will be out of date come Sunday. We do usually keep our home top for 2 seasons as well. Away one to change in the summer I believe.

I don't think so.

It was Nick Ross that brought it up by speaking to the papers though, if anyone is trolling surely it's him? What is it with people moaning about the merger, if people want to discuss the possibility of more fans coming back because of the final then why not? I think it's a very valid statement that has been made.

I'd say I've visited Livingston most times for away games at a quick guess. Always loved the rivalry between the two sides, shame it disappeared but I guess we won in the end.

We needed to win and Livingston to lose, we didn't even win the last game did we?

They have to do the very same thing the week before us, I guess we can't really moan when they have to do it nearly every second week. Let's just get on with it, we aren't going to have massive numbers draining all the supplies of busses in and around the highland area IMO. We struggled for the final but that was against Aberdeen who took down over 40,000 fans.

Strange one... We playing 5-2-3-0?? Or is meekings or Devine at left back with shinnie in midfield and Marley up top?

I'd be very surprised if we took more than 7000. Hampden I think will easily have enough tickets to cope with demand, with the remaining given to Celtic if they progress.

Rangers winning 1-0

Didn't the highland league vote in favour of joining the pyramid? If so then every team in it that wins the title should be made to play for promotion in the playoffs. The juniors is a closed game and any team not wanting to go national should join them. It's not like it's only the highlands that are getting made to join the spfl either, there is a lowland league remember. It's not unfair to expect the league winning team to be ambitious!
