Away game is Wednesday 11/7 with a 5pm ko our time.
I presume it's a 5PM kick of due to the WC SF being on the same night.
There's also the small matter of Armenia being three hours ahead of the UK, so it'll be 8pm locally and probably suits them best.

supposed to be 40 degree heat over there, would probably have been later but for the WC.

The Armenians have Cher and Kim Kardashian (a/k/a Kim Thong Un) in their corner; they would have also had the greatest Armenian American of all time, Ara Parseghian, but he passed away at age 94 last August.

The population of Armenia is estimated at 2.92 million; there are a reported 1.2 million Armenians in the USA.

i dont think we will make it this year or they want us there. where rosenborg not our final tie last year? Now we have a reasonably difficult tie followed by two other ties if we make it. Not because our team isn't good enough or any panic from me. I just think they are putting a lot of obstacles in our way to make sure any teams outwith the the big 4 are at a very minimum when it comes to the real money.
who are the big teams in our section of qualifying that they(whoever they are ?) would rather have in it than us? Are you suggesting they want us to get knocked and therefore replaced by the Norwegian giants Rosenborg? No disrepect to Rosenborg , they are a decent club, but that makes no sense

Any chance the dates of the home and away legs for the 2nd round will get swapped? I seem to remember this happening in qualifiers before?

Trying to book time off for the away leg ASAP.
I'll go for none.

We did it once to help out Cliftonville but this was our first round not second.

1st Champions league Qualifier is always on the STB unless they have changed it this year but I would have thought not.

If we arr eliminated by any of Alashkert , Rosenborg or Valur then very serious questions need to be asked of our management and players

The very nature of cup ties mean it's not a certainty. Yes we are favourites and have better squad but we have better squad than all the teams that beat us in SPFL last year but we still got beat. Losing the odd game happens. Problem is it could lead to elimination in cup ties.
