Is that you, Robbo?

We were unfortunate to hit a brick wall in the play-off round, but we navigated all the legs in the other ties with a high level of competence, despite our concerns about new players, new manager and lack of time together. If we can continue to build on that, we'll be fine this season.

No shame in that defeat. We can only hope the manager and our senior players have learned a shitload from those two legs.

If everyone just blocked him he'd give up. Only time I ever see his guff is when people rise to the bait and reply to him.

Still think we need a pacey winger who can cross a ball.

We now have a squad that looks strong and if we get the boy Kanga this could be a right good season if we get it right in the early weeks to settle us down - and no squad rotations for the Scottish Cup, strongest possible team. With the injuries easing there is alot to look forward too. The game on Sunday is massive for settling us down.

Our players and team can only improve by playing against better players. As i said football gods were against us and we did not disgrace ourselves. That team apparently scored 17 goals from set pieces last season. Giants and a guy who can cross a ball certainly helps.

I fully expected to be well beaten over the 2 legs but there's definitely a touch of disappointment with the goals that we conceded and the red cards but there's been plenty of positives to take from this european and what we have seen so far and if we can get a break on the injury front,there's no reason why we can't be fighting it out to be in europe again next season and considering its been another rebuild for us this summer,the players and manager should be proud,we're not even out of august and we have played the best team we will all season.

Have a day off ffs, Im glad the team dont take that " we know our level" attitude, our level is whatever we want it to be, play to win every game we take part in and see where we end up. We wont win them all but with the right attitude we can be the best we can be. This has probably been our best ever Euro adventure, 4 great results in Q2 and Q3 and eliminated by a far better team who struggled to break us down until we went down to 10 men in both games. So why not try some positivity for a change instead of your usual negative doom and gloom trolling shite, you might actually enjoy it

Proud of the team. To come up against a top side from a top league and give it a right go is exceptional. Especially as we have lost so many quality players from last year. To get the new team up and running and making connections and building rapport is hats off to the staff and manager particularly when we bring In Players and a couple of games later they have had an injury as for tonight going to be hard to play again with ten men and indeed it’s perhaps noticeable that they never really ran away with it until we were down to ten men clearly though they are a very decent outfit hope we an aspire to be like them gers going out is a mind feck does anyone else know of that will affect 4th place being a Europe spot? Hope Hibs and hearts do well in Europe and we can over come them in the league

Fair do's pal

If only. Unfortunately we sacrificed that. No, but European football for us is nothing more than a bonus/reward for a great league season. We’re never going to do anything of note at that level and there is no shame in that. It’s great for the fans to travel and as you say make great memories but we’re not ever going to make a scratch in that type of competition.

Rangers concentrating on the league 🤣🤣🤣

Europe will always be a bonus nothing more. We should always strive to qualify because that means good domestic form. However its not something the club will bank on.

It is what is is we didnt embarrass ourselves the exact opposite.Add a face or two to a pretty decent squad now and we shall be in European football again next season.

So basically we don't aim for european football then? We made great money and fans making great memories. I would love to do an away trip.

Beaten by the superior team over the two legs. However, our inability to (a) prevent crosses into the box and (b) defend those crosses is a massive concern. But oh well, back to the League Cup and the glamour of domestic football…

On the plus side being in Europe may hamper Hearts, Celtic and Hibs(?) in the Scottish league and aside from that I think it has been a good comparison for us to gage where we are as a football team and I’d say it confirms we are heading in the right direction.

It was 2-2 on goals from open play. Reds and set pieces.

I don't believe it does count. Was the foul that serious?

Usually, but see Article 63 I posted above "In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA disciplinary bodies are entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions." Not that there's any chance of that happening here.

A decent effort, but the reds killed us. TBH not sure if squad is equipped for league and Euro group phase at the moment, so a good experience and maybe push on next year. The most competent team we'll face this season. Was a pretty harsh draw for the competition we were in.

Article 63 of the UEFA Conference League Rules: As a rule, a player or team official sent off by the referee is automatically suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League or UEFA Super Cup). In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA disciplinary bodies are entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions.

Can’t agree with that, it’s a level way beyond our reach. Obviously it’s good for the club and it’s a big bonus and reward for our excellent campaign last year, but our level is the domestic game.

Euro only
