Their manager Herr Frick was a hugely experienced footballer playing over 664 games.

Although he did miss several seasons as he was on a mission to locate the Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies.

Caused controversy when he told his players "You may kiss me".

Has anyone found what channel the Hibs v Luzern game is on? Fancy doing an Emery and researching our opponents.

SRF Zwei Schweiz HD

Using my extensive knowledge of German, this means SRF Two Switzerland HD.

I bet Emery will be shown in the crowd, sat there inscrutably soaking in every detail of the two sides. Monchi and Vidagamy alongside him to mop up any details that he misses (AS IF).

Big fan of Klopp as well.

FCL are no mugs and a proper football team with a solid ST support. At 17000, the capacity is only 3000 smaller than Easter Rd. They pull up to around 14,000 for the big games so there will not be many spares.


It would of course be interesting to see us play Hibs but I feel that Luzern would be a 'proper' European tie, whereas playing a Scottish side a bit preseason friendly-ish

I've seen us play 2 Swiss sides (FC Zurich and FC Basel). We haven't played a Scottish team in a competitive match since 1897.

Bring on the Hibees I say.

Not sure if this is right but does Sawiris' brother own 12.5% of Lucerne ?

I wonder if the brotherly connection makes it a grudge match. Nas still resenting the hugely controversial goal from a game in the living room when they were kids.
