[Football] Burnley's EUROPA League campaign starts in......

[Ernest]

....Aberdeen. Imagine waiting for years to get into Europe and instead of a trip to Moldova or Kazakhstan you get a trip to Aberdeen

 

[vegster]

Quite deserving really, start small and build up.

....Aberdeen. Imagine waiting for years to get into Europe and instead of a trip to Moldova or Kazakhstan you get a trip to Aberdeen

Easily accessible from Burnley by road, rail or air;
Not a very expensive trip;
A nice place to go to;
A winnable tie.

Yep, I bet the club secretary is writing a resignation from the competition letter this very minute.............................

 

[Don Tmatter]

Should give a good idea of the standard of SPL teams

Aberdeen fans looking forward to a trip to Burnley

Less embarrassing to be knocked out by Aberdeen than some team hardly any English fans have heard of.

Like Rangers last year against some Luxembourg part-timers.

Ashley Barnes will bring you back three points from the granite city.

 

[Megazone]

Playing against one of the former Europa cup winners. Hard first game.

Yes, but tbf, they haven't got Alex Ferguson managing them these days.

 

[portlock seagull]

You would be disappointed as a fan. It’s quite funny actually. Don’t even need your passport!

 

[hart's shirt]

Excellent draw for 2 friends over here who support Burnley and Aberdeen.

They'll watch the games together over a few drinks.

 

[Taybha]

I would still be buzzing whoever it was , imagine the pride of watching your european result flash by on itv4 at 3 o clock in the morning

 

[spence]

Great fixture. No idea why some of you clueless fools dish it. Would love to play a Scottish club in Europe. Would much rather that than some obscure pointless European club

Playing against one of the former Europa cup winners. Hard first game.

So far back in time, it was the European Cup Winners Cup 82/83 and the European Super Cup 83/84

 

[Megazone]

Yes, but tbf, they haven't got Alex Ferguson managing them these days.

Huge loss for Aberdeen that but I still think they've got a big chance.

 

[lancyclaret]

Hope so....but I'd be happy with a point ahead of the Turf Moor return

Not most of the fans, but I reckon Dyche will be secretly pleased - minimal disruption to the PL campaign preparations and against players who won't catch him by surprise (most have played in lower championship, leagues 1 & 2).

I hope Stevie May does not score against us (Preston & Sheff Wed fans would take the proverbial).

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Huge loss for Aberdeen that but I still think they've got a big chance.

Rangers at home first league game. No love lost. Always lively!

 

[Stat Brother]

I bet all the Burnley fans who were pissing their panties about having to travel around Europe are now secretly gutted.

 

[Dennis Aogo]

1983 European Cup Winners

Aberdeen 2 - 1 Real Madrid

Its a nice draw for Burnley

 

[Napper]

Great draw . England v Scotland , nice bit of needle amongst the fans and can take few thousand there and visa Versa.

Would love this if we got there
