You may be right but €1.1M isn't too shabby although we'll all be looking to qualify for the group stage.

That was absolutely magnificent tonight. They started quite well in terms of possession, and we looked a bit nervous for 15 minutes, but gradually we took control and a very enjoyable evening ensued. We have replaced our outgoing players very sensibly so far, although another signing or two wouldn't go amiss and although there were a few slack passes and some dubious decisions from the ref, at no time did I feel worried that they would put us under any real pressure, This time last year all the short passes in the 18 yard box scared me Sh*tless but now it is just amusing to watch the opposition run sideways like headless chickens. Add in that AJ is an absolute pleasure to listen to, and I think this year could be even better than last year. What a great time to be a 'Well fan.

With the hint of a good old fashioned quick toe poke before the keeper could set

Oh he wasnt perfect he was just streets ahead of the shite we suffer every week

Suprised JT never got it...

Only 2 * €175k, surely? Two qualifying rounds, then one playoff round...

It's a public vote.

Did not think he was that great. Seem to favour the visitors and gave alot of very soft fouls, especially 1st half. He improved slightly in 2nd half. In saying that you are correct to say he was streets ahead of the scottish officials! Standards are declining even with all the tv recordings they need to study, learn and improve.

According to the wiki page it's a bit better than that at Second qualifying round elimination: €350,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played Third qualifying round elimination: €550,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played Play-off round elimination: €750,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played In addition to the €750,00 there is also €175,000 per qual round so 3 x €175,000 is €525,000 so a total of €1,275,000 which is quite a bit of money even accounting for the additional expense. Plus of course over €3M if we qualify for the group stages although I'd imagine the €1.275M will be deducted.

I need to comment on the Referee. In the two European ties the referees have been streets ahead of the utter shite that passes for refereeing in Scotland. Let the game flow. Compare it to that fud who refereed the Falkirk game. Most Scottish games the chat after the game revolves around the referees incompetence. Two European ties and no such discussions.

The MOTM on the BBC match reports is an average of the accumulated fan votes on the website. Nothing to do with what the reporters or pundits think. Been that way for many years.

Typical crapola from the BBC. On Sportsound it took them over 45 minutes to mention Hibs or Motherwell from the time I got into the car to come home, while they obsessed about Rangers being rank. This was a great team performance tonight and it was so encouraging to see us maintain our passing game with the new manager and a squad in transition. The confidence the younger players will get from being trusted later on in the game will be important (brave decision by Alfred) and I thought Whyte looked very assured. Lowry seems to be more confident now that he knows his role and his linking work on the turn for Said's first goal was excellent: shades of Just? A fantastic atmosphere and full credit to The Bois, who never stopped singing all night. It's a great time to be a 'Well fan because i really feel we can only get better.

You weren't alone, I thought he was pretty poor for a while first half. To be fair though, he didn't hide and certainly grew into the game late first half and into the second.

I think I was the only one who thought Lowry was really poor in the first half? I didn’t think he was at it at all, kept giving the ball away and was pretty weak at times but his 2nd half until he was hooked was brilliant. I thought it was like watching a different player, really confident, great work rate….. not sure what Alfred said to him at half time but it worked.

If ever there was a goal where a player "waltzed through the opposition" it was Said's second.

Could only be Said. Defence absolutely solid. Special mention for Lowry. Andy Holliday on Sportsound saying he has told him countless times he needs to improve his work off the ball to reach his full potential. Based on tonight Lowry has been listening, what a shift.

The gaffer said

On any other day there would be a few options, Moorman, Girdwood-Reich, Fadinger and Priestman were all outstanding, Paulsen, J-K, Longello and a great 30 odd minutes from Olly Whyte. But Said, aka Captain chaos, just wow, end the vote now.

Brilliant team performance and great atmosphere. What a night! Only disappointment was Said never got a hat-trick, which he could easily have had. 5-0 wouldn't have flattered us.

Seriously? I don't recall him doing much, not even their best player on the night.

Almost went for Lowry as some of his passing was so clever and his workrate was excellent. Went for Said, though.

That is as competent and controlled a game as we've ever played in Europe. For someone whose has been totally unfussed by European games over the last 30 years because of some inept dire performances I really enjoyed that. We were as close to our best performances last year. No failures quality performance. Did anyone hear Andy Halliday say we got £7 million for Just on Sportsound tonight.

Said has made this vote easy, but could pick 7 or 8 tonight. Lukas covered every blade of grass and moorman is a real find. Best performances in a well shirt from JGR and lowry also. Shout out to olly whyte as well btw - solid when he came on.
