Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
I see David Healy’s managing them, still Northern Ireland’s record goalscorer I think, and at one point seemingly the only person who ever scored for them! Scored the winner against England in that World Cup qualifier, which gave a hint that the Sven era was going to end with a whimper even though I think we’d already qualified. Saw recently that England and NI haven’t played each other since.

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
the road to Tirana was busy yesterday with (I think) all the Conference teams in initial action. A good number from Ireland & Wales starting out. Do we have any FISOers possibly involved or interested ? Neath boy is a SWANSEA fan and not part of the Conference this season.

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
the HOBBIT Norwegians (Bodo Glimt) lost to LEGA WARWAW & then Lega beat FLORA from Talinn, Estonia. Next they go to DINAMO ZAGREB, 5th August and at home the following week. The road to St Petersburg has already closed for CELTIC who must now have another try in the Europa Prem.
Also next week it is RANGERS v MALMO.
News from the road to Tirana & the Europa Conference shortly. Still listening Oxford ?

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
the nearest you will get is Sleeping Car to Trieste (1948). Not far from Rijeka, Croatia where Hibs are playing in the next round. Strong Irish presence too as well as The New Saints.

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
also on the Tirana Trail is the Oswestry/ Welsh team The New Saints who this week entertain Viktoria Plzen, the Czech beer team, Pilsen Urquell (highly recommended). They will need the services of The Man in seat 61 when they go to Plzen on 12 August.

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
the Orient Express would be useful this week for ST JOHNSTONE to get to Istanbul for their game with GALARATSARY in the Europa.
CELTIC make their debut in the Europa with a trip to small town Czech Rep, JABLONEC NAD NISOU about 90kms N of Prague.
Both these are on the Seville road.

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
the Tuesday trail to St Petersburg sees the 2nd leg of the 3rd qualifying round in the Champions League. 10 games in all with the UK interest on RANGERS trying to overcome a 1-2 first leg loss to the Swedes from MALMO.
Reminds me when MALMO were in the Munich final v FOREST IN 1979 !

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
RANGERS leave the St Petersburg road after a Ibrox defeat by MALMO who will meet the Bulgarian side LUDOGORETS next week. The winner of that will be in the Group stages. RANGERS will have to try their luck instead on the Europa route to Seville. CELTIC are there too.

Re: THE ROAD TO TIRANA, SEVILLE & ST PETERSBURG
lots of Scottish interest on both the Europa & Conference routes to Seville & Tirana. Also last chance for the Norwegian Bodo/Glimt in the Conference.
