Bliki Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Bate are Belaroussian- hardly a footballing powerhouse? Thought they were from Ukraine. Makes its alot more damning for us at Breiðablik. I really think we are going to get spanked tomorrow, I mean by 3-4 or 5 goals. Its getting more and more clearer for me. I just hope we catch Motherwell at an off day.

deJaya Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Sorry if this has been posted before .. but seemingly the Old Boy sent Jocky Scott out to scout at a Breidablik game .. I'd say it falls short of being a right-rivetin-read but is interesting nonetheless ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ell/8822150.stm And Bliki ... I'm fascinated to learn that you are, in fact, a male duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 No chance of a result like that, likely 1 or 2 goal victory if at all for us I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely convinced there's such a huge gulf in class here Bliki Even if there is ... fans of Scottish teams have long since become accustomed to the "banana-skin" factor and Motherwell are no different! It's been great to read your side of the story from Iceland and your input here has made the whole tie a lot more interesting. That said ... and banana-skins in mind .... a win .... any kind of win will do nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 IIRC Everton struggled to beat BATE in the Europa League, and one season BATE we're in a champions leauge group with Real Madrid and possibly Juventus i think and actually fared well.

johnstone Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I would go with Randolph Saunders - Craigan - Reynolds - Hammell Jennings - Hateley - Forbes Sutton McCugh - Murphy I would play Sutton just off the two main strikers and they can feed off what he wins. Forbes, Jennings and Hateley as the midfield gives a mixture of creativity and robustness. Defensive picks itself just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Bate are Belaroussian- hardly a footballing powerhouse? Who have held Real Madrid in the Champions League Group Stages, and were unlucky to lose in Madrid. BATE would pass us off the park. Which is rather sad really.

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hadn't really given this much thought til today. Don't get me wrong, the ticket is bought and the day off secured long ago. But I haven't had a sense of anticipation for it until about an hour ago. I reckon we'll have a hard game of it and fear we could see a re-run of Mypa 47. Only thing to say against this is the fact that Breidablik may not be as good as Mypa were. Highly unlikely Breidablik are as good as MyPa. MyPa had top quality players like Sami Hyppia and Joonas Kolkka plus a bunch of experienced Finnish international players like Tianen, Jakonen, Mahlio, Koskinen. I might be wrong but I think Breidablik only have a couple of players with 1 or 2 caps and a bunch of U21's. They are nowhere near the level of MyPa - on paper at least. Of course you could also say our current team is nowhere near as good as the one that lost against MyPa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you could also say our current team is nowhere near as good as the one that lost against MyPa! but Hyypia + Kolkka were u-21`s at the time just like several of the Breidablik guys who are being trailed by German,English,French + other clubs around europe,and as u said our team isnt a patch on the one from the Mypa game. my biggest fear isnt their players but our lack of competetive football,that is gonna be the telling factor over the 2 legs, just hope we can explode out the traps instead of performing like we did against Llanelli. (and that game last year should have us on guard,by all accounts Llanelli arent as good as Breidablik + they beat us last year in the 1st leg!)

weeyin Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 To be fair, though, in that first leg we had a whole bunch of new players playing a new system under a new manager. At least this time around we have a fairly settled team using familiar tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaag Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Pitch gonna be very skiddy and won't suit the long ball if this rain holds up. Hopefully we can keep short accurate passes into feet tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliki Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I would say the Icelandic league is getting stronger and stronger and now a Scottish defender Jamie McCunnie has joined one of the clubs, Haukar - it will be even stronger Anyone know anything about this player? maybe we should have taken a punt on his as the Breiðablik is defence is the weak point of the team.
