If we beat the Finnish it's a trip to Luxembourg or Georgia.

Ticket bagged for the game in Finland. Only 200 on offer since they are only allowed a 2000 capacity for UEFA games.

I’m sure they mean well but this seems very odd.

We actually started the same initiative 18 months back, it's just a little harder to notice with us..

A lack of concentration at the end meant losing an away goal with the last kick of the game. 2-1 win though and we were levels above them even though they are mid-season. Confident of going through but you never know... Our programme last night was phenomenal

Finland another country that's just ace. Rovaniemi is a small place and was really quiet at this time of year - it gets really busy in December with all the Santa shit. People so friendly and the beer wasn't anywhere near as expensive as expected as one bar owner extended his "Happy Hour" to all day. Great for him to have a packed bar on a random Wednesday night and Thursday in what is essentially a ghost town and meant pints were only €4.50. They also have a local drink "Longdrink" that was invented/made for the Helsinki Olympic games. Looks like a smirnoff ice but is Gin and Grapefruit juice. Sold by the pint. Fantastic stuff that I recommend everyone tries if you find yourselves in Finland. 24 hour sunlight was a trip especially the first night where we were 2 hours ahead of the UK but seemed like we were 6 hours behind in terms of daylight. As for the game Aberdeen were so fucking shit. I wouldn't say we were lucky to go through as we were clearly the better team but that should have been a couple of 4-0 wins, not two 2-1 wins. Onto Georgia for the 2nd round to play Chikhura Sachkhere. Unfortunately as their stadium is shit (I think they play in a park) it's being moved to Tbilisi meaning there'll be about 400 people watching in a 54,000 seater stadium and because two Georgian teams use that stadium our tie has been switched to away first making it a tough logistical challenge to get to, and I'm not going. There was 165 of us in Finland and I reckon there'll be less than 60 in Georgia. Draw for QR3 takes place on Monday where we'll likely get a tough tie. Teams like Feyenoord, Frankfurt, Espanyol and Wolves come in. Our best hope is probably getting Apollon Limassol who put us out a couple of years ago but we really should have won that tie.

Since I've been there already I'll probably give it a miss. They've seemingly been pish in Europe since we beat them so hopefully if we make it there we'll stand a chance of QR4 which would be the furthest we've been in this recent run.

They've got a cracking set of fans who love to take over town squares with flares and neo Nazi salutes. Tbf they have Milan a good scare last year.
