I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world - I’m pro Europe as well and I welcome the changes it has seen over the years but Armenia in a European qualifier still makes me go ‘whit? Where?’ That's in Asia

I’m old obvs

As for Rosenburg - this is what we need to beat to get into the CL - so might as well get it done at whatever stage - I’m of the opinion we should be better at this now - but I’ve been wrong before

Often
It was a Soviet state, so they got to choose whether they wanted to be in UEFA or the Asian one. Only been 25+ years. :lol:
Oh - i know it’s been ages

I still find it weird though

lets hope BT pick these games up as I ended up with Premier sports for about 4 months last year as kept forgetting to cancel it as they only give you about 10 days a month to do so.
feel your pain :nono:

We owned that city once. I think it's a fair shout.

Full of confidence that we will get through both of these rounds if we are focused and pragmatic in our approach.

Just had another look at Berts site. Rosenberg are the 4th hardest draw we could have had. After the Danish, Serb and Israeli champions.

If we can’t beat an Armenian side followed by a poor Rosenborg we don’t deserve to make the latter stages . 2 comfortable victories for me

I know the historical reason behind how they ended up in Europe. They should never have been given the choice. Geography should have dictated which Federation they ended up. It wasn't difficult. What's next? All the old British Empire countries getting to chose? India in UEFA anyone?

We are the second hardest draw they could have got then.

Well, no, as there wasn't a British Empire team that played in UEFA Competition.

I do agree they should have been told where they were playing but your example is taking it a bit too far.

Just had a quick look at a Rosenborg forum. They seem pretty pessimistic overall; at least I think they do - Google translate is trying its best.

They're currently scouring our forums as well, even citing one 'Ciaran67's dissatisfaction with the draw as reason for optimism.

Alashkert has played a grand total of six European ties in their history:

P12 W4 D4 L4 F12 A14

Dinamo Tbilisi and BATE Borisov seem to have been their toughest opposition. They lost those ties 1-3 and 2-4 respectively.
