      Tbilisi complete the set of Soviet EC reps who've only played CL qualifiers. Dynamo Moscow never played EC.
      Loving the Torpedo porn Alex. Torpedo Moscow the first of three former USSR EC reps who've never played in the CL. Those three are in three different countries now...

          And the bear picks out Moses's own Ararat Yerevan. The 1974-75 EC reps Ard often cited for helping to bust EC opponents Cork Celtic who struggled to make the lengthy trek to the Caucasus in the pre Ryanair days

              Moses's own? Noah's own surely

                I would have forgotten them had their current incarnation not appeared in this season’s Europa League

                Excellent question: the three countries are Russia (Torpedo), Armenia (Ararat) and Ukraine (Zorya).

                And yes, Moses’ Own would be Musa Dagh, which didn’t have a football club for obvious reasons.

                  Page 91 and I'll chip in with a very tangential question. Of the teams that took part in the 90/91 European Cup which were named after :
                  a) the leader of a peasants' revolt
                  B) crystals
                  C) an insect
                  D) a sexual position
                  E) a well known ophidiophobe

                    You may have to take one or two of these with a pinch of salt

                      Ararat Yerevan I should've got - Zorya Luhansk I'm very pleasantly surprised by. Beautiful badge, Ursus. Their Luhansk crest reminds me somewhat of a folded-out Tunnock's tea cake wrapper.

                        (A) is Ujpest Dozsa ... surely.

                        Or Atletico Wat Tyler

                          ... no it's the Bulgarian bloke, isn't it ... Levski.

                          Levski Sofia.

                                    Levski was middle class, Dosza is the leader of a peasant revolt.

                                    Olympique Lyonnais wore these that season, but weren’t in the competition

                                      Noah indeed. Neither Bible Moses nor Victor Moses are closely associated with Ararat

                                        Aye but there's a joke in there somewhere about Ararat "parting the reds' sea" in their championship season so ...

                                            Dosza was middle class - think he's dead now, akchooally - and the man asked about the leader of a peasant revolt not if that leader was also a peasant. Most lower class uprisings end up being betrayed by middle-upper class instigators of the rebellion. So why don't you just lighten up, ursus and try injecting a bit of humour into your ...
