    I know but if you think about it, the big boys already have 4 teams minimum at CL level so if they got bonus points for CL wins they'd essentially never drop down the lesgue standings.

    Perhaps bonus points should be awarded for victories versus clubs higher in the coefficient table to level it out a bit. Like if the Huns had beat spurs or when we beat Leipzig get bonus points.

    Love the mentality there mate. As bad as we were attacking wise tonight the tie is still very winnable. But the fact that it is now about a 50/50 shot who goes through is a joke and flat out comes down to the boards ineptitude and refusal to get us the wingers and striker we obviously needed from the get go this summer.

    6 months ago we took Bayern all the way in the knock out stages of the CL. Tonight we couldn't have hand picked an 'easier' tie yet we seen Scales at LB, Ralston RB, Yang (in general and then out of position), James Forrest (no harm to him but it's 2025 he shouldn't be a starting winger) and Idah then Shin stink the place out up top it simply is not good enough yet as usual it's radio silence from everyone at boardroom level.

    Thats a fair point you make there, I had not thought of it like that and maybe your idea would be the better way forward giving bonus points for wins gained against clubs ranked higher in the coefficient table.

    I'd go one further and say we actively regressed after those previous two seasons.

    Utter *, the opening day against St Mirren was bad but this was levels below even that. Looked like we could have played 3 more hours and still never got near a goal, no creativity, passing it back, slow, nobody beating anyone except Yang who was having to beat 3 and 4 to get anywhere near the box.

    * hopeless

    Travel 3500miles to a City with higher altitude, home advantage and likely more referee bias. Can’t * wait…

    serious revisionism going on regarding our cl run last year too. We were played off the park at home to brugge, could have been beaten by Bern, were insipid in Zagreb.our ability to creat chances and break teams down in Europe is really really concerning

    We’ve a squad full to the brim with complete and utter * dross.

    In huge trouble next week.

    I’m past the point of caring now.

    Get in to the CL, fleece the support for the tickets, keep all the money in the bank, more dividends and bonuses for the shareholders, get dicked by potential record numbers.

    What’s the * point?

    Grim times when you're wanting a 17 year old winger from Kazakhstan who's played less than 30 games to be suspended so he doesn't rip your team with £80m in the bank to bits.

    There was a severe lack of shots, Forrest, Nygren and Hatate even McGregor could have hit 15 shots between them.

    Against wee pish teams like this sometimes you just need to pepper their goal and get some deflections and rattle them a bit, force keepers into saves.

    We done nothing to concern them the entire game.

    Can't get my head around the optimism of some that we will go and win there, particularly after that garbage I just watched.

    What’s a winger again? It’s been a while since I’ve seen one
