Martin Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 if higdon plays it'll most likely be a repeat of john sutton in nancy ie completely ineffective. we'll be playing on the counter so i'd have henrik up front with humph and murphy on the wings. I'd agree with this. Higdon isn't one for a bursting counter attack, which I think will be our only hope. Looking at this objectively, nothing against Higdon in the main.

Gaag Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Anyone know whether the away game will be played at the olympic stadium or panathinaikos own stadium?? Olympic. That is their home stadium now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellTiliDie Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Anyone know whether the away game will be played at the olympic stadium or panathinaikos own stadium?? Is their ground the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium? Edit; just saw the above post. Cheapest way looks like going from London. Hotels all look pretty cheap for 4 + 5 stars.

Gaag Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Is their ground the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium? It was. Not anymore. It's getting demolished at some point next year. Not up to scratch for euro games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnymfc Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Sorry folks but i think we will get hammered both games, our squad is threadbare and the lack of summer signings due to the financial unasurances from tv money hardly fill me with any confidence we have a chance of getting anything at home. So Prove me wrong Lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 ....tv money.... Now there's a thing as regards the Champions League matches. What are our chances of earning some coinage through a TV deal in these games? Obviously the BBC are all consumed with the Olympics but will anyone else take it up? Would it have an impact on a kick-off time? Would in fact the club want even want someone to take it up in case it impacts on ticket sales? More for the club to consider I suppose.

scoojy Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 The post above yours was tweeted by Andrew Wilson who, I believe, was our representative in Nyon. It's just been retweeted by 'Flow so it looks like that's the confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Pepper Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Decent draw, beatable and might bring a decent away crowd. Mind they filled the corner at ibrox for a UEFA cup game 4 years ago. Reckon we will take 400 over to Athens. Won't be going over myself as £0 in my account just now. 1-0 at fir park to the well would do nicely and keep it tight in the heat of Athens.

MJC_MKI Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Really looking forward to this. Hopefully we give a good account of ourselves over the two legs and don't end up embarrassed. We really are punching above our weight here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts Champions League game was definitely on TV, AEK was it they played? I remember setting it up on the big screens at work. Pretty sure it was the BBC who showed that. With that in mind hopefully it will be shown, at least by STV, if the BBC are too busy with their table tennis and shot put coverage.

Motherwell89 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 did a "simulation" match on FM12! 3-0 to Motherwell Hump (45+1), Hutch (73) then BoB McHugh(90+2) and all the goals came while we were 10 men down! Carswell being sent off after just 22 Min! Even though it's just a game a score like this would do very nicely despite how unlikely it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell89 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 those going to the away game might want to take gas masks There pre-season in preparation for this game has been a 1-1 draw with German Second division side Braunschweiger Eintracht and then a 2-1 loss to Russian Premier side Krasnodar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 As a Motherwell fan these are the kind of games you want to be at....warm night,,champions league...and thousands of off their head greeks lobbing flares and smoke bombs...bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
