Champions League 2016/17

[Guest Bilo]

With their propensity for ****ing up in Europe,  Celtic might need another goal here.  Going to Israel when you've shipped two goals isn't a safe position to be in.

Gutted Plzen are two down. So, so keen to draw them.

Yep. Ludogorets doesn't hold the same appeal.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy with them. Not often you get to watch a football match in the home of Pilsner though.

Think they'd need at least 2 for a slim chance, I don't think they travel well at all in European games.

Away goal changes the complexion.

Ask @bovril for advice on Bulgarian football and a night out in Razgrad.

 

Varna or Burgas in the late summer or spring would be more interesting, though. Cheep beer and nice beaches.

If they can lose against Gibraltarian part-timers, they can definitely blow up against Israeli opposition.  

 4-2 now.

Think it's fair to say he'll get inundated if we draw Ludogorets!

 

I haven't been to Bulgaria in years, not a disastrous draw if it happens.

Can't believe how Ronnie Deila had that job for as long as he did, they had some pretty pathetic results in Europe and 97% of managers in the game could win the Scottish Premiership with no Rangers to contend with. I used to be fond of them when I was younger so I hope they go through.

Never been to Razgrad and don't intend to. Thankfully the game would be in Sofia and I reckon tickets in the home end wouldn't be too difficult to get. I speak the lingo so I wouldn't get beaten up.....

Well, I suppose it's a bit of a trek. Four and a half hours on the road at least. And if the Bulgarian motorways are anything like what I've heard about the general road conditions in Romania, it's probably even further away.

[Guest Bilo]

Surely even Celtic can't blow a three goal lead away... 

[C-man]

See ya Dundalk.

[ScouseFox]

bit sad about plzen but ludo away would be belter. 

 

if we get celtic i'm shitting all over whoever does the draw. fu ck that. 

[Nick]

When's the draw again and how long after are the fixtures confirmed in a 'final' sense that its safe to go book flights?

Thanks @C-man, somewhere in the back of my brain I knew that and that its written on here several times.... it's a slow morning as I've had to partake in 300mg aspirin rather than the liquid ibuprofen tablets that actually take pain in my body away. I also remembered I have a £400 accommodation voucher for Mr. & Mrs Smith given to me that needs using so it seems a once in a lifetime CL away game is on the cards.... all I need now is a couple of tickets!

Draw's on starting at 6pm CET, so that's 5pm over in the UK.

[AndWhat?]

I want Legia Warsaw so bad. Imagine this down Filbert Way

Would they play at the National Stadium?

If it is 6pm CET, that is the same as 6pm BST. 

 

It is only 5pm in the UK if it is at 6pm CEST, which I don't believe it is.

It is on at 6pm in central Europe (CET), hence 5pm in the UK.
