Shocking, how are these teams going to cope with their best players at the World Cup?

Aberdeen start their campaign tonight

Hope Tommy Wright gets a game. He deserves it for all his years of service up there

Mixed. Wins for Aberdeen, Linfield and Crusaders, defeats for Glenavon, Aberystwyth Town and Bangor City, and a draw for Airbus UK.

The Dons, Linfield and Crusaders progress the others fall by the wayside

Where are Crusaders and Airbus?

Where are Crusaders and Airbus?

Airbus is a Welsh team previously named Vickers-Armstrong, de Havillands, Hawker Siddeley, British Aerospace, and BAE Systems (not at the same time).

 

[Blue Maniac]

Where are Crusaders and Airbus?

Respectively, Belfast and Broughton, just across the border from Chester.

Only Celtic survive after tonight's games

Didn't realise Dull we're starting this early 0-0 in Slovakia

 

[Blaarev]

Legia Warzaw-Celtic got a lot of attention over here due to both teams having a Norwegian manager. The most likeable one took a heavy beating.

A bad week for Scottish teams St Johnstone and Aberdeen both lost tonight and like Celtic face an uphill struggle to qualify
