They're better off in the Europa league. They could actually have a run in that competition where as barring a miracle draw in the champions league that effectively ends for them on match day 3 or 4 at best.

They're better off getting to the group stages, cashing in, and then having a pop at the Europa League.

Until he plays them

As shit as Celtic are Rangers are far far far worse. And the crowds full of cunts to from what i see of them

Not too long till the Auld Firm game. Celtic in a bit of a downer, Rangers building from a low base moving forward. The derby could be closer than you think. Celtic will still win the league mind you.

Rodgers would need to do something drastically different to anything he's done before and everything he knows, because his European record is somewhere between appalling and mediocre. Only once has he successfully negotiated his way through the group stagesin Europe, and that was with us in 2012/13 in the Europa League, from a group containing Udinese, Anzhi and Young Boys where we managed to lose 2 games in the group. In the knockout stages of the Europa League, his teams have been knocked out at the very first hurdle on 3 occasions, and two of those were after dropping into the Europa League because they failed to get out of their CL group in the first place.

I don't disagree, first decent side and its game over. In the Europa league with a bit of luck you can get a handy group and a couple of weak opponent's in the knockout stages, that certainly beats getting 4 points at most with 2 or 3 hidings thrown in.

Couldn’t find an opposite thread of ‘things you hate about modern football’ so posted this here...

Bristol Rovers air Babestation in their bars at half time!

The greatness of modern football?

 

Barnsley have been applauded for reaching out to one of the club’s fans who spoke about his battles with depression and anxiety on social media.

 

Chief executive Gauthier Ganaye wrote a letter to Chris Ryder and gave details of the Mind charity – which deals with mental health – while also inviting the lifelong fan to “swing by any time”.

 

The English Football League partnered with Mind for the 2018-19 season and the governing body described the South Yorkshire club’s actions as “a touch of class”, while former England international Peter Reid also commented: “Class!”

 

Ryder posted a picture of the letter on Twitter with the caption saying: “best football club in the world”, which received over 16,000 retweets and 75,000 likes by Tuesday evening, while over 1,000 replies praised Barnsley’s goodwill gesture.

 

The letter read: “Dear Chris, sorry for sending you a letter at random, but I felt like I wanted to reach out to you and get in touch.

 

“I’ve noticed through social media that you’ve had a bit of a hard time recently, I’m not sure what it is but I hope everything improves for you as soon as possible.

 

“You’ve been a fan of the club for many years and always supported us, so we want you to know that if the favour needs returning and we need to support you, please do let us know.

 

“You are welcome to swing by any time. My office door is always open and we’ve finally got a new coffee machine, a huge thanks to Alfie Mawson for that! (Barnsley received a sell-on fee after the defender’s move from Swansea to West Ham this summer)

 

“Alternatively, you may have noticed the squiggle on the back of the player lettering on the shirts? It’s for the MIND charity. They are an EFL partner this season and do some really great work. I’ve included their contact details below.

 

“Keep supporting the Reds, Chris. We’ll keep supporting you.”

Lack of money isn't an excuse for Celtic at this level, but it was the ninth time Celtic have played a Champions League qualifier in the last three seasons and it's the first one they've lost. You wouldn't fancy Liverpool's chances of getting though every time if they had to clear that many hurdles.
