Kalmar is literally an island off the coast of Sweden. You're essentially watching Kilmarnock against the Isle of Bute there (hopefully). 

Isle of Bute does'nt have a stadium like that.

Kalmar missed 3 or 4 great chances.

What a letdown this summer has been after all the bluster from the chairman a few months ago.  I think we'll struggle to get past Hacken. 

of four teams that have finished above us in the last 2 seasons we have taken TWO captains

We havent played a game in front of any of us yet

Dont get me wrong we play crap ill get out the pitchfork, but am I they only one to find it disingenuous to call this summer a letdown ?

TBH, I think when we heard what Cormack said back when Glass was appointed, re signings, we all anticipated that we'd be going after the best young talent in the league, of which there is a decent amount. 
 

We've signed some steady pros 30 or over, and some unknown MLS entities, whilst Gallagher will be a fine signing, and you expect Brown to keep standards high, the rest leave you far less optimistic. 
 

We can only know how good/bad it's been when we see them play, but I was expecting more McGrath, Kerr/Gordon/McCart type signings. 
 

Hoping it all makes sense in the end. Hacken will be a bit of an acid test because they are probably as good as anything outside the OF in our league, and they have played a decent chunk of competitive games thus far. 
 

It's not a good tie.

Im not sure they are as good as they would finish third in our league but they are definitely good enough to embarrass us if we aren't up to it. Looking forward to seeing lineup against st Johnstone later today and read the match report. Might not even get the lineups given it will reveal our preferred starting line-up against the swedes.

That's where I feel Scott Brown will make a difference for us. He wouldn't have allowed the Sigma 5-1 to happen.

Let's see how we get on but I think we'll be up for it.

Aye cos he never allowed celtic to get any embarrassing results ? Bratislava etc. 
 

So much delusional faith in a vastly overrated (& now old) player like he’s some  kind of one man match master of all. 
 

Hacken could very well be another headline maker much like Sigma.

Clearly not that crap. Got half a dozen or so current internationals & similar numbers of former capped players (more that we do) & their Europa record isn’t that bad for a ‘crap’ team. 24 games. Won 8. Drawn 7. Lost 9

put Sparta Prague out 

also knocked the Pars out in 07/08

 

33% win record in Europa. What’s ours?

4-0 Hacken then.

There isn't two.

It was supposed to be Reading at 1.30pm, then Saints @ 5.30pm

Presumably it'll be 90 minutes against Saints only.

A know, was letting daytripping know!.

saints is actually 18.30 now ?

If they had played this afternoon, half of the team would collapse with sunstroke. 
 

I’ve just been for a 10k walk and I am damper than Kylie Minogue’s growler after a two hour stage set in leather hot pants.

40% in the Europa League.

Second Swedish team AFC have played in Europe, first was Gothenburg in 85/86 (European Cup QFs)

[fine-n-dandy]

Keeper is former Swedish international 

CH’s a current Finland int & a former Swedish int (c) 

left back current Swedish int (also have former Iceland LB as back up) 

RB’s a former Nigerian int & current Iceland one

midfielders they have 2 former Swedish int’s 

Left Winger current Tunisian int 

CF’s they have a former Swedish int & current Finland int

 

also have a good few current U21 internationals 

 

Some will laugh at many of their ‘international players’ but this side is not a bad side & well capable of doing a Sigma on us. 
 

Especially with our glacial defenders

Was anyone else mildly turned on by that Kylie comparison?

Drew 0-0 with St Johnstone apparently?

Played at 1.30.

[DandyWarhol]

Was apparently brought forward to the earlier time after the Reading game was cancelled, and as Westhill says finished 0-0

presume it's gallagher starting and mccrorie will be in midfield (and hence wanted to get another 90 in to mccrorie)

So why not play Gallagher alongside Considine & play McCrorie instead of Ojo? 

[Big Hat Logan]

Gurr getting lots of praise in the official match report. Sounds like he’s maybe going to be the set piece taker.

[Big Hat Logan]

Is Gallagher injured?
