Rousseau 9,361 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Union Saint-Gilloise's recent pre-season games saw them draw 0-0 with Brighton, draw 1-1 with Sporting and pump Feyenoord 0-4. This will be a tricky tie. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the constant schimfs about the colony of vicious penguins that protect Bruges waterways, she was prepared to be taken in by Kayak. It was a double paddle approach, Pieter Huistra being the proposed back thruster. What would a para know about the old double paddle approach? Been reading up on your Cockleshell Heroes again ? Huistra was our only successful thruster that night. We really should have won the game. Edited July 18, 2022 by buster. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a tricky tie. A difference is that they are a couple of weeks ahead of us. Have played 6 friendlies. We are at 2 and a half. They start competitive competition this weekend, with a league game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,829 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Old Army mate married a Belgian girl and opened a Boutique Hotel in Blankenberge. Anyways, Tam is a Hibee and we have remained in occasional e-mail contact over the years. He was most impressed with Union Saint-Gilloise last season, a real surprise package. As Bluedell has alluded, they have the same owner as Brighton and Hove Albion, Tony Bloom. There had been a cross pollination of players, two of Union's most important, influential players were Mintoma and Undav. They have both been returned to Brighton for this season. Tam was impressed with their front three, all fluid and rapid. He claimed the top Belgian sides had more success later in the season, denying supply of the ball to the front three. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,829 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I have just noticed from the Union website that they transferred one of their front three to Brugges on Saturday,Casper Nielsen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,240 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 League leaders in Belgium last season for the best part of the season, got pipped for the title by Brugges in a silly title play-off ... being promoted to the top tier in that very season. Dunno how many players they have lost, but that IMHO is the worst possible draw. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the fact they did so well in their first season in the top Belgian division after promotion doesn’t say much about the Belgian domestic league The top Belgian players all play outside Belgium 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
