McCrorie either needs to go out on loan at another premiership club or sign for someone else, he won’t develop well at Sevco.

Maybe Baz thinks if they get pumped in the EL in one round they will fall in to the CL the next round. :)

“Asked how much fresh cash will be made available as a result of the share issue which will take place in June, King said: "I met with (company secretary) James Blair on Saturday and we have given the go-ahead for the share issue to commence immediately.”

How did that share issue in June work out?

Is it still June?

An oldie

Walter calls Barry Ferguson into his office.

'Barry,' he says, 'I'm worried about your performance the last few games. You've been hopeless, completely off form.'

'Sorry, boss', says Barry. 'I've not been myself lately. I've got a few problems at home.'

'Oh dear,' says Wattie, pretending to care. 'What's up? Wife and sprog okay?’

'Oh they're fine', says Barry. 'It's just that something's really bugging me and I'm losing sleep and everything. I can't concentrate on my football and it's really messing me head up.'

'Whatever's the matter, son?' says Wattie.

'Well, boss', says Barry, 'it's pretty serious. The wife bought this jigsaw puzzle the other day and.....'

'A jigsaw?!!!' thunders Wattie. 'You're playing shampooe because of a jigsaw?!!!'

'OK, boss, OK,' says Barry, 'but.........it's this picture of a tiger and it looks really easy on the box and I'm sure I've got all the bits and everything but I can't do it and it's doing my head in and........and........and it's a tiger and it looks easy.......and can't make the bits fit and, it's really hard, and er, sorry boss and, er, it's a tiger, er,... on the box...er.......sorry boss.'

'OK, OK, OK,' says Wattie, 'bring the jigsaw in and let's have a look at it, it can't be that difficult'

'Oh thanks, boss,' says Barry.

So the next day Ferguson brings the jigsaw into Wattie's office.

'Here it is, boss' he says, showing Wattie the picture on the box. 'Look, boss, it's this tiger, right, and it's a really good picture and everything but I just can't do it and it's really hard and it's doing my head in and it's this picture here of a tiger,' and Barry empties all the pieces from the box all over Wattie's desk. He looks at what's on his desk, looks up with his head in his hands and says to Ferguson...................

'Barry, put the feckin’ Frosties back in the box.'

I don't know if this will make a difference but it seems a bit mad/blase to me to only have 1 friendly before Europe. The rest of the Scottish teams involved including ourselves have at least 3 games lined up before our first European game yet they seem content to go with just one. So basically there could be 8 or 9 players having only played a maximum of 90 minutes together before their first competitive game.

They then have another friendly lined up on the Sunday between the two legs for the 2nd round which if I am reading it right provided they get through they are playing away first on the Thursday.

Seems very poor preparation. Yes getting a level of fitness is very important but actually having the team play against opposition is important especially with so many new players.

Just checked FC Skpje - they are playing quite a few friendlies - going to stick a tenner on them getting through

They could have the hummel cup before their tie. Like the dafabet cup but for the rangers, pollok juniors etc. Good money for the club.

" After finishing the Macedonian First league in fourth place in the 2017-18 season, Shkupi will be playing in the Europa League qualifiers for the first time."

Those boys will be fired right up for this. It's the biggest match in the club's history and I'll gladly take your word for it that they are packing in the friendlies :)
As you say, one friendly before the match suggests that they're taking this lightly, a bit foolhardy at the best of times but all the more so when there's a new manager and almost a new team of players ...is it 8 they've signed ?
So good luck to Shkupi. If they put their hearts and souls into this they have a fighting chance up against a rookie manager who will be anxious to get this banana skin out of the way. The huns will have dark memories of what happened last year and so if Shkupi can frustrate them the hordes will get anxious.
Elimination by Shkupi would put the ge55ard revolution under severe pressure right from the off. If a bad start to the domestic campaign were to follow sevco's season could be on the rocks before the end of September. The hordes are expecting a transformation , a team that is going to challenge us. If after 8 games it's clear that not much has changed and that they'll be battling it out with the dons and hibs for 2nd spot the pressure on SG will become very difficult for him. It would all be downhill from there :lol:

They've got a closed doors game against The New Saints soon, then Bury before their 1st qualifier, then Wigan in between the legs of their 2nd qualifier (should they get that far).

I agree though that they don't seem to be giving themselves the best preparation. Osijek will likely be the best team they've played when they meet them. I don't know much about Bury but they've just been relegated to League 2 so I can't imagine they'll be any good, especially in pre-season while they're no doubt restructuring their squad.

The whole point of our Sparta Prague and Standard Leige games are for us are to ensure that Rosenborg won't be a sudden jump up in quality. They're not giving themselves that chance. And when you consider that they've signed basically an entire new starting 11, they could really be doing with it.

Forgot about the TNS game as never saw it on their fixture list - again they will have had about 4 games before their first Euro qualifier.

It will be Bury's first match of the pre season and given that their season is ages away will be a glorified friendly for them.

Maybe being highly critical but it seems poor preparation still.....time will tell

Had a check for odds for the Europa league but could not find any yet

Shkupi got beat 3 0 by the team who finished 11th in the Bosnian league yesterday and they played Levadia the day before and drew 1-1.

They played two games in two days.
