I think I have worked it out, maybe Golfie doesn't like to think of the Europa League as "Being in Europe" because then he has to admit to hinself that the lot from Bermondsey have been in Europe recently
I think that lot from Bermondsey only got as far as the qualifiers? If so it doesn’t count.
(if they got past the qualifiers I’ll have to come up with another reason why it doesn’t count).

Did they play a competitive game in the continent of Europe, outside of the English & Scottish competitions and friendlies?

Yes. Got knocked out in the first round of the UEFA Cup 4-2 on aggregate by the unseeded Hungarian side Ferencvaros.
Depends on why you play football I suppose. If it's to test yourself against the best players you can, in some of the best stadiums that you can then Premier League or The Championship is the way to go. If its to pick up the money & you dont care if you are playing in front of 5k fans every other week or against players that would just about make League 1 then stay in The Scottish Premiership.
Or play in Europe and go to the Prem after.
What do you class as playing in Europe...?Playing Champions League football against Barcelona and Real Madrid.......or Europa league football against Dudelange and Qarabag FK.
Lol
What does this even mean.
Both are European competitions so both are playing in Europe.
What point are you trying to make
It means he's not playing in the main Competition that top players aspire too, ie The Champions League.
FWIW Carl Leaburn scored in Europe.....
He's already played against the Swiss champions, soon to be Danish champions, Porto, Feyenoord and soon Braga.
Ok it's not Barca and Real, but these are some decent sides. Braga for example beat Porto to win the league cup and won away at both Benfica and Porto in the league.
He wouldn't exactly be facing that level of team if he'd gone to a championship side would he? When he retires do you think he'd look back with pride at his trips to Luton and Wigan, or the European nights at Porto and Feyenoord?
Exactly. European football is European football. If we ever qualified for the Europa League and had an away day at Ludogorets we'd be (quite rightly) creaming ourselves. I don't think the Scottish Prem is doing much for his development, but a packed Ibrox on European nights or an awayday to Porto is something he'll be able to tell his grandchildren about.
Although they will probably keep asking him to tell his Wembley play off story first.

Ah right, so it was first round proper? That’s a blow.
Aribo is competing to win the league, did the cup final, playing in europe and maybe champs league next year... learning from steve g and playing alongside other players like defoe... its a good move for him.

Questionable. 12 points behind Celtic in February.
At the risk of upsetting DickiePlumb and his dislike of threads on old players, I see Aribo came on as a 90th minute substitute in Rangers' win over Celtic at the weekend.
Must admit I don't follow Scottish football that closely so would be interested to know has Aribo fallen down the pecking order or has he generally been playing but was just "rested" from this game for some reason?
Anyone heard any rumours about him possibly coming back to England?

I thought he got injured and was out for 6 weeks, so I’m guessing he’s coming back from injury?

Rangers rested all their stars as it was only Celtic, comfortable win in the end and no injuries to key players. All the big names will be back for the tougher test against Livingstone in the week.

Sorry to bump this, back for my quarterly visit to your forum and saw this, he’s had a bad run of luck with injuries but he’s one of our better players. Gerrard is big on squad rotation so he hopefully he can get back up to match fitness asap. The general consensus is Aribo could fetch £20m+ He’s was performing at such a high standard in Europe and the league. Incredible feet. No rumours of him leaving yet and hopefully none for a few seasons.

£20M will be even more painful when he runs down his contract with you to take the next step up in his career by joining a team like Burnley for free in a season or two.
Sounds about right for a player of his quality/potential in the current market. Will never forgive Roland for pulling that contract offer from under him.

What do you mean? Young, bags of potential and internationalist... In a world where your Oli McBurnie’s are worth 20m then Aribo will fetch at least that. Go watch his goal V Braga at Ibrox. He’s already bossed every midfield he’s come up against. I’m willing to make a wee charity bet with you that we’ll receive upwards of £15m+ for Aribo when that time comes.

losing to the local u-6s
Very rare in the last decade but Celtic now playing catch up.
