Chumps League qualifications

[mr_nool]

Well blow me backwards. For the second year in a row Swedish side, Malmö FF are through to the group stages after - also for the second year in a row - having beaten Saltburn with 3-0 at home, making it 3-2 on aggregate.

Too honest, this is a huge deal for Swedish club football.

Isn't there another round of qualifiers yet to play?

Finnish club HJK Helsinki had a golden opportunity today to go through. first game ended 0-0 in Helsinki and today.. it was 0-2 and all was looking rosy.
then typical finnish footballl a proper horror show and Astana took 3-2 lead.
then a red card for Astana.
equaliser on 85th minute and again it was supposed to be nailed on. aggregate lead, man advantage and everything...
and in the injury time Helsinki hit the crossbar, counter-attack, 4-3, final whistle, finnish dream over.

oh, and the first 3 Astana goals? shot from 30 odd yards towards the keeper which goalie decided he'll can save with one hand only.. well you can imagine how that went.
second one was a penalty "through" the keeper (well, shot under him so I can't really blame him).
and third one was a mishit cross which went straight into far top corner...

Astana sound like the perfect ,far off away day for the rags in the next round.

Saw Bojinov tonight, he was pure comedy, missed a penalty, ruined every chance he had, but they manage to qualify, thank god.

None of that sounds the slightest bit suspicious does it?

It was a great fight with some shenanigans thrown in (literally, a second football), but they have not reached the group stages yet. Still one play-off to go through.

[WhyAlwaysMe?]

The latest CL play-offs have been announced. Rags will be battling Club Brugge, to qualify for the competition. Celtic will be playing Malmö FF.
I truly hope that Sporting Lisbon eliminates CSKA Moscow, for us!
