To quote the current Shamrock Rovers manager we battered them. Their keeper (Roy Carroll) had an incredible game. Could have been 10-1. Actually he was really good in both games, but especially in Cork.Originally Posted by oriel
IL is dream first round draw really.
Crusaders are in there this year seeded. Coleraine are unseeded, and the playoff winner (Glenavon or Ballymena) will likely be unseeded too.
Cheap to get to and very winnable, it's what you want.
But it doesn't feel like a European trip. Linfield was the least fun trip we had last summer, though it did enable us to play in Sweden which was brilliant. I suppose if you can guarantee the win (which you probably can 90% of the time) then its fine because you get the second round.
It's a gift of a draw.
Means a club can bank most of the Eur215k participation fee and has a virtually guaranteed appearance in the draw for the next round.
Speaking of money

Nice incentive for Cork next season now !
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Dundalk have a receivable that they owe to somebody and are booking it as an asset? Has Kenny been up to his old tricks again?
[/B][I]P.Esc.
Dundalk were better off in the years when they were poor, it was a healthy kind of poverty where every man had the moral courage to take the responsibility to improve the situation.
Cork people are so genuinely generous, you borrow money from them and they think they owe you?Dundalk have a receivable that they owe to somebody and are booking it as an asset? Has Kenny been up to his old tricks again?

When somebody (a dirty Dub no doubt) robs a bank in Cork people will let him run free rather than tackle him to the ground and risk giving away a free kick.
People that rob banks generally carry a gun so I wouldn't be tackling them, but I see your point. We do have remarkable discipline down here
Chelsea win the U-18 Premier League title, so that's now 2 of 8 for UCD.
Anderlecht will make it 3 if they win away to second-place Club Brugge this weekend, though that's obviously far from a certainty.
But tis panning out well for us so far.
FAO Derry/Cork/Rovers fans, I done an update on next months draw. It would also apply to Cork and Derry.
Quick update on our draw.
Most leagues have finished at this stage but there are still some teams to be confirmed due to cup finals. Aberdeen will be parachuted to Round 2 as United or Ajax will leave a vacant group stage spot causing every teams to move up a place.
Although Uefa dont officially 'Region' teams they have done so to a certain extent still. Here's the latest prediction of teams we can face.
Lyngby BK Den
FC Midtjylland Den
FC Levadia Tallinn Est
Nõmme Kalju Est
HJK Fin
KR Ice
Stjarnan Ice
FK Haugesund Nor
Odds BK Nor
FK Ventspils Lat
Crusaders N.Ire
Rangers Sco
St. Johnstone Sco
IFK Norrköping Swe
AIK Stockholm Swe
There are two Luxembourg teams who are currently unseeded but could become seeded if results go in their favour in other leagues.
Could be seeded:
FC Differdange 03
CS Fola Esch
If we also were to draw any of the below teams in the first round and beat them we will be seeded in the second round!*
Seeded in region:
FC Midtjylland Den
HJK Fin
FK Ventspils Lat
Odds BK Nor
St. Johnstone Sco
AIK Stockholm Swe

*You take your opponents seeding if you beat them.
Kazakh and Belorussian teams generally get included in the "North". I don't see any Polish teams in your list either.
Good example of why we don't come on here
I don't understand your point? You've left out several potential opponents for some reason. I thought perhaps you'd left them out by mistake so I pointed that out.Good example of why we don't come on here
Belarus are now generally 'northern'.
It's worth noting that regionalisation isn't guaranteed either. There's no actual rules (at least public ones) regarding it. In the past five years, four have been regionalised, 2015-16 wasn't. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E...alifying_round
Apparently UEFA make a decision on regionalisation the night before the draw.
Have you ever won the treble?
Yeah i had a banger the morning of the 2015 draw when we were grouped with Inter Baku - though the rest of our teams were all Northern, ended up embarrassing ourselves in Iceland.
They don't make it easy for fans at all.
just to point out that Dundalk's seeding is currently missing out on being seeded by 0.011. Had one more seeded team missed out... goes to show...had they managed one more draw at any point....
Probably another team would effect that?
If UCD had held on against Slovan for five more minutes, would Dundalk be seeded?
Can't see anyway rovers would be seeded they are miles off
