if you look back, when we won our first european cup, if i'm not mistaken, we beat a team called "the hurricanes" from northern ireland in the first round. the next year we stuck 10 past some random danish team, so it's not as if this is anything new to us.
we just have to get on with it.
Agreed Mikey.
Just having a look at the potential opponents I am in NO doubt that we will progress to the Group stages.
Just as an example 'Anorthosis Famagusta' who are one of our potential opponents in qualifying round 2, are to be frank one of the worst teams I have had the displeasure of watching.
They are a Cypriot team (which is where my parents come from) I would guess they are the equilavent of a mid to lower table league 3 side at best. They really are awful, and are effectively a part time side, playing in a country with a population of around a million people.
The only 'concern' (for want of a better word) I would have is if we drew the blueshi.te in the third round, because it would be their Cup Final for sure, but we have more than enough class to BEAT them.
Roll on the group stages
