So onto predictions rather than a debate on whether we should or shouldn't fill in the corners (when we get to a point where every game in a season is 90% sold out then that is the time to carry out the feasibility study). 

Brann sit 2nd in their league and maybe they are suffering a bit of the Scottish problem of managing a European run and maintaining form at home, but there is no doubt this is step up and the team above them (Bodo / Glimt), are successfully competing at the same level as Rangers in the Champions League. 

This doesn;t make it impossible, but it will be a tough game. I would take a 1 goal lead as a good result, anything more a real bonus.

Brann are odds on favourites for the match tonight , which says it all really. Rangers or Celtic aside it's a rare occurrence these days for opponents at the Smisa to be odds on with the bookies. Let's hope we can keep it alive for the 2nd leg ?

Aye, 9/4 us with them being just under evens.

I like to sniff out a winner with decent odds, I might be tempted but it's a bit of a punt as we are playing well but they are an unknown apart from the table below.

Scoring 28 goals in 18 games is reasonable but they do let in quite a few.

Remember Bodo/Glimt giving Celtic an absolute doing a couple of years back (5-1) on aggregate - Brann not as good as them but they are a decent side and are rightly the bookies favourites. Hopefully with the big crowd behind us we give them a game and keep ourselves in the tie for the second leg - like Robbo's attitude saying we fear no one at home so lets give it a right go COYS !!

I would have liked to be away first but, it is what it is. My guess is we'll need a two goal cushion and I can't see that happening. Stranger things and all that.

This Robinson team seem to have a lot of self belief and I'm sure we'll all get behind the lads tonight.

This is a good side well into their season, no surprise we're struggling to get to grips at the minute, not sure Smyth and Boyd-Munce are the best combination in the middle.

The last lot we pumped were well into their season, more like they are a better team and, at this point, 37 mins, we're slack but we seem to do better in the 2nd half.........................here's hoping.

I did say good side, like you say 2nd half and good use of subs and we'll see what happens.
