Templar Saint Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 There have been way bigger upsets by Lithuanian clubs in UEFA competitions this summer. Marijampolės Sūduva eliminated Belarusian Shakhtyor Soligorsk in the first Europa League Qualifying round. Just a few days ago they won 3-0 against FC Sion, a Swiss club richer than all Lithuanian football clubs combined, in the third round. http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2018/matches/round=2000888/match=2021922/index.html Even Vilniaus Žalgiris had a 3-1 lead against Bulgarian Ludogorets, a team that looks better on paper than any Scottish club except Celtic, after 130 minutes in the Champions League qualifiers. Unfortunatelly, they collapsed later. Lost 3-5 on aggregate. By the way, Lithuania (1.625) stays ahead of Scotland (1.250) in 2017/18 UEFA rankings at the moment. Right, the basketball country were no football club averaged at least a thousand specators last season:) Well put 3-1 Good luck to Trakia for all future Euro matches but could we please have your number 9 NOW 3-1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3-1 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Well put 3-1 Good luck to Trakia for all future Euro matches but could we please have your number 9 NOW Maxim is Russian. Would not qualify for a work permit. Get him a Lithuanian passport first. He would be more than useful to our National Team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat McGroin Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Maxim is Russian. Would not qualify for a work permit. Get him a Lithuanian passport first. He would be more than useful to our National Team. I suspect that he would get one on appeal, given his tremendous scoring run in this seasons competition. He'll be too expensive for us though.

south inch Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I see Aberdeen have been charged by UEFA for not having stewards travelling with their support. Seems to be getting to the stage that it is almost impossible to play a UEFA tie without being charged with something! (What are we being charged with? Asking too many questions.) I have no doubt that Saints supporters abroad will behave impeccably as has been well demonstrated by our recent visits to half of Europe - and Asia. I am curious though, did we have stewards with us on these visits? Did we know about this rule? I seem to remember that when we played in Minsk only two magnificent supporters made it due to visa problems. Was one a steward?

babychunder Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Go on.... I'm not going to post it here - those responsible know what they did. Could have got us a fine or even worse a ban.
