Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Currently 13th in the Luxembourg National Division, Dudelange make the Group Stages. Fantastic scenes. Basel are out too, losing 1-0 to Apollon Limmasol this evening, and losing on Away Goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,309 Posted August 30, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 30, 2018 Burnley been all over Olympiakos. So many opportunities. Vokes could have had a couple. Fancy them scoring but too little too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Liquidator 259 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Burnley putting a good shift in, just lacking a bit of quality infront of goal. I hope @Stan is wrong and there is enough time to score a couple.... Thats all they need with a clean sheet isnt it? Enjoyable game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,309 Posted August 30, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 30, 2018 I just think they're being so wasteful that by the time they score it'll be too late to get a 2nd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted 1,774 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 No offence to Burnley but I'd much rather European football was there for big fan bases with proper attendances who appreciate the romance of it. Even for the Europa league, it'd be ridiculous for there to be European games in a 20,000 seat stadium where only 10,000 people can be arsed to turn up.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,624 Posted August 30, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 30, 2018 What a waste of time for Burnley. Bunch of qualifying games and not even into the group stage to play some real teams. The way the qualifying process dovetails with the English season really is a nightmare. Many of the other teams that have to go through three phases of qualifying don't have it too bad as they play in leagues that they either dominate (e.g. BATE Borisov, Celtic, Qarabag) or at least are within a few elite teams in their league (e.g. Hajduk Split, Olympiakos, Apollon Limassol). It's actually really tough for teams like Burnley, Southampton, Everton last season if you come in on that 7th spot and have to play an extra six matches compared to the teams that finish 6th or 5th, then you get a tough route through if you have a bad European coefficient, and being based all the way on one end of Europe means that you could have one of the biggest travels possible. The Premier League is a physical league as well, especially at the start of the season. It's a perfect storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you are saying @Inverted Empty seats was a topic in our house while we watched the game. It was as thou the Burnley faithful had already decided their fate. My own club are worried we will not be able to sell out the upcoming Europa games. Fans are used to CL football, so the club have reduced tickets to £20 n £5 for OAP's and Minors. I am not sure how Burnley graded the night, but I am sure they are disappointed with the turn out. To be fair, its a problem for the competition all over europe.

It knocks the stuffing out of the best of teams but a club like Burnley could really get left behind trying to graft out results against Bournemouth and Huddersfield whilst also playing away in Ukraine and Lithuania. Yeah, I had a cheeky score on them to be relegated this season with the hope they progressed in the EL. Another score wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
