Correct the spelling plse Amo Edo

 

i'm surprised i didn't notice that either. thanks for the heads up :thumbsup:

 

u r welcome my Major Markus

 

Alright looks like it's official.

Pyunik - Champions League (2nd Qualifying Round)

Gandzasar - Europa League (2nd Qualifying Round)

Banants - Europa League (1st Qualifying Round)

MIKA - Europa League (1st Qualifying Round)

 

Isnt Ararat ment to go for Champions league??
And didnt we start from 1st Round?

 

Ararat didn't have the proper licensing to play European matches.

Ararat was supposed to play in the 2nd qualifying round of Europa league because they got second place last year. However, with their licensing problem, that spot goes to the next runner up which was Gandzasar. Also, now that Ararat is gone anyway MIKA will step in to take the final European spot.

We usually start in the 1st qualifying round of both leagues however I think weaker nations will play in those rounds like San Marino, Malta, etc.

 

Ok thanks

 

What happened with Ararat?

 

http://www.ffa.am/am/news/item/2009/05/18/licensing/

 

Ararat's ownership is a shame, they dont give a fvck about the team. realize nowadays ararat could only loose (or get trashed) against any european team.

 

Does anybody know whether a team is allowed to strengthen its squad from other teams from the same league which do not participate in the tounament. I remember few years back Kilikia did it. If that is the case gandzasar, banants, even MIka should do it. There are many qualified players in Ulis, Ararat. They can share the financial profits later or else they are going no where.

 

They have done it before, so I don't see why not. Then again I live in New York so I have no ****ing clue whats going on...lol

 

Watch for our clubs to make some big moves in preparation for their respective Euro tournaments.

Look for MIKA to sign 3-4 more players including possibly a strong striker.

Look for Banants to sign Hamlet Mkhitaryan, bring in a defender from Belarus U-21 (who are about to play in the U-21 EURO finals this month), and possibly bring in 4-5 more players.

Pyunik have the Champions League group stage in their minds and are preparing for a big training including bringing strong Latin American and African players for trial. One African player could possibly be Kenya NT striker Allan Wanga whos transfer value is now worth $350,000 and is also being chased by Bundesliga club Hoffenheim. and as always this repeated rumour comes up, but maybe watch for Markos to make a return to Pyunik.

 

The Draw Is In

The draw finally came for our clubs' European matches. Here are the results.

FC Pyunik have been given a challenging task to their campaign by landing NK Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia. The first leg will be in Yerevan on either 14/15 of July then in Zagreb a week later on 21/22 of July. The good news is, UEFA has banned Zagreb fans due to riots last year so in the away match it will be played in an empty stadium and also they cannot come to the stadium in Yerevan either. If Pyunik signs strong players like they intend to, we might have a chance.

FC MIKA will have to face none other than Henrik Larsson himself and his crew of Helsingborgs IF of Sweden. The winner of this match will move on to face the winner of Northern Ireland's Lisburn Distillery FC and Georgia's FC Zestafoni. This is a debatable contest. Armenian sides have had some success against the Swedes this year, including MIKA getting a 1-1 draw against last years Swedish champions Kalmar, while Banants defeated Gefle by a score of 2-0. However, Helsingborg's made it to the Round of 32 in last years UEFA Cup. First leg is in Sweden on July 2nd and return match in Yerevan on July 9. If MIKA can sign a few decent players, I think we have a decent chance of maybe even the third round. Helsingborgs will be the biggest challenge though.

FC Banants have been spared a ridiculous opponent this year and have been handed NK Široki Brijeg of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Not much information about this opponent, besides the fact half the club is full of Croats. I think Banants have a chance. However if Banants win they will be headed right back into Austria with a date against SK Sturm Graz. First leg is July 2 in Bosnia, and return is July 9 in Yerevan.

Since FC Banants was spared a tough opponent, Gandzasar unfortunately was given a death time line. The club has been matched up against NAC Breda of Netherlands. This match is gone right from the start. The only thing we might possibly see if we are lucky is a 0-0 draw in Armenia. I'm sure the Gandzasar fans will be at their loudest in this match. First leg is July 16 in Netherlands and return leg is July 23 in Armenia.


It's pretty stupid that they made both Armenian clubs play their home matches on the same day. Attendance will significantly decrease cuz people wont know which game to attend.

They are all Croats cuz Široki is Croatian club.

First leg is July 2 in Bosnia,

You mean in Herzegovina.

 

Siroki didnt earn the Europa League spot on the pitch.They finished 6 in the BiHPL but since the 3rd place Sloboda and 5th place Borac were denied a licence to play in Europe their spot was given to Siroki.

 

Greetings from Bad Blue Boys of Zagreb.
I think chances of passing r 80-20 in our favor. After all we have better players and far more history then u (no offense).
In last few years we sold all are best players abroad, but in my opinion we still have some great players left and extraordinary talents playing at the moment.
As fans go,,, well despite we r banned from attending away matches u will prob see us in Armenia. I mean it's not like we like rules to much

Obviously you have more history. Pyunik wasn't established till 1992.

But either way, club histories (unless it's a rivalry) shouldn't play a role in the match

 

So far bookmakers on Bwin have given Pyunik a 1/501 chance of beating Dinamo. Anyone wanna start making some bets?

 

i like those odds

 

Looks like UEFA has helped us out for once and have now switched the dates for the Banants Vs. Široki matchup. Now Banants will have their home leg first to make sure that there aren't two Yerevan clubs playing UEFA games on the same day. If anything this just helped Banants' chances even more. :thumbsup:

 

would be nuts if two Croatian clubs played in Yerevan same day...even though Dinamo fans can't travel, but you know they will still come :howler:

 

LOL, Paul E. Dangerously...lol

 

Srna advice Dynamo

Twice Dario Srna played against the Armenian "Pyunik (in Shakhtar Donetsk's squad), future rival Zagreb Dynamo in the Champions League qualification.

- We had hard time against them, it is a very hard team. For "Dinamo" will not be easy, waiting heavy games and anything you can not say definitely. We both times defeated "Pyunik", but minimally. Even it was difficult to play in Donetsk - quotes Dario Sportal.hr.
- To the Armenians is especially difficult to play on their field, where they were warmly supported by the local audience?
- As I recall, the grass is also worthless. Players' of Pyunik do not complex against anyone. As far as "Dynamo" will be motivated to pass, Armenians motivation will be ten times more. Frankly, the players from Dynamo stronger, but if they were underestimated, then expect troubles. Armenians prefer combination football and a quick, active, especially when their supporters are pushing them forward.

 

Congratz on derby win.
We just refused 10 million euro for our best striker, maybe we'll c champions league this year after all (again )

 

Thanks for the congratz. :thumbsup:
Who is your best striker?

 

I kind of understood, but couldn't find Croatian - English translator:

Jurčić: Pyunik je ozbiljna momčad

Trener „modrih“ Krunoslav Jurčić vratio se iz Armenije gdje je prisustvovao tamošnjem derbijuizmeđu Dinamovog protivnika u 2. Pretkolu Lige prvaka Pyunika i Mike. Pyunik je na kraju slavio pobjedom od 3:0. Jurčić nam je po dolasku u Hrvatsku prenio svoje dojmove iz vrućeg Yerevana gdje će Dinamo sa svojim protivnikom utakmicu odigrati najvjerojatnije 14. srpnja u 20,00 sati po lokalnom vremenu, naknadna potvrda tek slijedi, ističe Jurčić.

- Riječ je o veoma čvrstoj ekipi, koja je vrlo dobro organizirana, dobro postavljena, a raspored i disciplinu drže tijekom cijele utakmice. Momčad je sastavljena od mladih igrača. Njih oko pet, šest igra za A reprezentaciju, a isto toliko igra ih i u mladoj armenskoj reprezentaciji – prepričava Jurčić ističući kako njegove igrače čeka ozbiljna priprema za predstojeću utakmicu.

Iako, kaže, vjeruje u svoje igrače koji su s njim, odmah po saznanju o predstojećem protivniku ozbiljno počeli gledati na nadolazeću utakmicu, ozbiljne pripreme su imperativ.

- Nisam nervozan i mislim da im koncentracijom i pripremljenošću itekako možemo parirati. No, treba biti svjestan da su jako borbeni, da daju sve od sebe svih 90 minuta i maksimalno su raspoloženi za igru, pa bilo kakva opuštenost može biti opasna – tvrdi Krunoslav Jurčić.

Dinamov se trener osvrnuo i na atmosferu na stadionu.
- Ambijent nije baš bio pretjerano euforičan. Na stadionu je bilo oko tisuću i pol gledatelja, no cjelokupna je atmosfera bila prilično suzdržana – prokomentirao je Krunoslav dodavši kako je zanimljiv podatak taj da su tijekom cijelog armenskog prvenstva na utakmicama sudili strani suci, dok je ulaz na sve utakmice prvenstva besplatan.

Mnoge zanima i kakav teren „modre“ očekuje u Yerevanu, na što je Krunoslav odgovorio kako se radi o izvanrednim uvjetima što se tiče samog travnjaka. Derbi koji je gledao odigravao se na manjem od tamošnja dva stadiona. Na oba se, kaže, inače igraju utakmice nacionalne reprezentacije, a Dinamov trener pretpostavlja da će „modri“ igrati upravo na tom manjem stadionu.

Vremenski su uvjeti u Yerevanu također jedna od bitnih stavki za Dinamovce i mnoge zanima kakav je dojam o tome dobio Jurčić.

- Uvjeti neće biti pretjerano laki, jer ondje vlada velika oscilacija između dnevnih i noćnih temperatura, pa tako tijekom dana ondje u prosjeku bude minimalno 35 stupnjeva, dok je noću puno hladnije. Zato nam je bitno da saznamo točno vrijeme odigravanja naše utakmice kako bismo se tomu lakše mogli prilagoditi – objašnjava Krunoslav koji se u Yerevanu susreo i s Gordanom Ciprićem, pomoćnim trenerom u Miki.

- Ciprić vrlo dobro poznaje tamošnji nogomet i mogu samo reći da sam od njega dobio niz korisnih informacija. Doduše, i s njegove je strane stiglo upozorenje da se radi o vrlo ozbiljnom protivniku koji iziskuje maksimalnu pripremu, a dodao je i kako su u Pyuniku trenutačno u potrazi za pojačanjima – kaže Jurčić koji se sa Ivom Šuškom, menadžerom Mike nije uspio sresti jer ovaj je, pak, otišao gledati utakmicu na kojoj je igrao švedski Helsingborg.

Jurčić je kratko opisao i svoj dojam samog Yerevana.

- Riječ je o tipičnom tranzicijskom gradu s oko 200.000 stanovnika u kojemu imate od luksuznih hotela i zgrada pa sve do starih građevina još iz vremena socijalizma – otkriva Krunoslav još uvijek pomalo umoran od puta koji je bio prilično naporan, pa su, kaže, u tri dana izgubili dvije noći.

Koji je zaključak nakon posjeta Yerevanu i ima li u treneru „modrih“ više ili manje optimizma nego prije posjeta, Krunoslav Jurčić je rekao:

- Nisam euforičan, a dojmove ne bih dijelio na one prije ili poslije. Otišao sam u Yerevan kako bih doživio cjelokupni ambijent jer ni u što ne vjerujem dok sam to ne iskusim. Nakon mog posjeta nedjeljnom derbiju potvrdila su se naša dosadašnja razmišljanja da ozbiljno krenemo u pripreme isvoje protivnike na terenu dočekamo u punoj snazi – zaključuje Jurčić.
