Cagey Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yeah, first half negativity at home cost us. Tommy obsessed with a clean sheet. Well done Trakai. Not bad for a team like Cowdenbeath. Suppose we won't get their striker now,even if it was him or anyone we enquired about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 All the more annoying Yeah, I suppose both us and the 2015 Swedish Champions were just really unlucky. We both struggled to beat a team on par with Cowdenbeath and got hit on the break over 180 minutes.... Unbelievable! Templar Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 That's a great result. Well done Trakai. Hope they get at least shot of vodka to celebrate before an early night as they'll doubtless be up at 5.30am to start their work back in the onion fields tomorrow.

He said we would beat them if we played them in a few weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) You will need to have a word with Tommy Wright as well then. He said we would beat them if we played them in a few weeks time. I disagree. I think we were beaten by a better team. Norrkoping are mid season and whilst their form has wobbled a bit since the start of the Euro campaign, I doubt they'll use that as an excuse. They pulled a "Saints" on us. It's rare for us to be beaten by a team more disciplined and organised than we are. That's usually one of our strongest points! Fair play to them. No diving, rolling around or time wasting either.

Perth Guy Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah I can remember at least 2 instances of a Trakai player going down holding their face etc in an attempt to get an opponent sent off. Although they won and that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Well... It could of been us! Only if we were sharper in front of goals. Think we are all surprised by Trakai progress, aw the best to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss75990 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Trakai now have a great chance of making the playoff round as they are against a team who were also unseeded in the 1st qualifying round and knocked out Helsinki in the previous round.

Guest ScottMann Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Trakai beat us home and away as they were better than us and deserved to go through. I don't get the continued self-flagellation about it. We just weren't good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 It says bundles about our fans that most are celebrating Trackie's success. Good luck to them. I think we could have beaten them, but we didn't. Did anyon connect with any Trackie fans over the two nights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tommy said, if we had met them later we would have beaten them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tommy said, if we had met them later we would have beaten them. And if my auntie had etc etc. I wouldn't expect Tommy to say anything else under the circumstances. We played them, they deservedly beat us, they move on. I accept that and can sleep soundly at night without thinking 'if only'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3-1 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:) R.B.B:- Adz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
