Greek newspapers say........

[HappyAsHellas]

Read this in Ekathemirini newspaper today concerning Greek teams in Europe:

Asteras Tripolis is facing the might of Hibernian in Scotland this Thursday and at home next week, but if it goes through it will have a slightly easier task against the winner of the tie between Norway’s Molde and Albania’s Laci, starting away from home.

[Lancs Harp]

“starting away from home” 🤔

I thought the winners of our tie will be at home 1st leg.

There may be other games in Greece at the same time so they have to play the away leg first

It is actually - as with most of the Greek papers it is right wing, though how you guessed this from the quote is quite impressive. The only sort of left wing paper is Το Βημα (The step) and all they had was this:

Χιμπέρνιαν (Σκωτία) – Αστέρας Τρίπολης (Ελλάδα) - Hibernian (Scotland) etc.

Maybe Greek right wing papers are better for football reporting?

These guys aren't an AEK Athens level team, certainly not when we played AEK. They're a decent side, but a week behind us in preseason, with a really poor away record in Europe. They'll be no pushovers, but, fit and prepared, we should be good enough.

[bigwheel]

Good points - if we perform we have a decent chance - mind you - were not at the same level we were back then either ...

I don't buy the theory there would be an outcry of panic if we lost this tie but I also don't think it would be as great as an achievement as some people are claiming if we do come through it. The fact is we have no idea how good they will be. The fact they've signed lots of new players suggests that. The only thing i would be confident in saying is that I don't think their will be lots of goals as greek sides are usually hard to break down.

Exactly

Hearts sign a whole team full of new players = don't know what their doing, panic merchants

Foreign team sign whole team of new players = no way we can beat them, we're definitely the weaker team because we've only signed three players and lost 4 of last season's first team.

[DickieDastardly]

A clean sheet is so important, sadly though based on recent form I fear unlikely.

Think we will win the home leg though.

Which is where a player like Mallan becomes worth his weight in gold.

You can be as ultra defensive as you like but give away a free-kick within 25 yards of goal and your in danger

They fear the god of winning both cups, Lewis Stevensonos

Plus they can't afford to camp in their own 18 yard box as he's shown he'll take a dig from distance and there's a good chance its going goal wards. They need to commit players in the middle of the field should open space for Kamberi and Boyle.

Did Sauzee not get injured early on the match? Seem to remember him going range at an advertising hoarding as he was coming off.

Maybe lost in translation in that they're starting away from home in this tie?

Edit - re-read OP and it already states they're in Scotland this week and at home next week at the beginning of the line. So maybe not :)

He did indeed - in fact I think that was the last game he ever played for us ..McLeosh left soon after and he took up his short
Managerial stint ...

I remember him going off quite late on - I think it was already 2-2 on aggregate. I've always believed his absence allowed them the space to get back in the game.

Could be wrong though...

Yep, pretty sure he went off with about 10 minutes left.

My memory ain't so good these days but I'm sure he went off in the first half.

He played three more times for us after that game. McLeish left in the December.

I think it was the dug-out that he gave a good kick. I was pitch-side a month or two later and it still had Sauzee's dent in it.
