There always a few formalities to go through before they start drawing the teams.

Wondering whether the 90k for getting through the round is worth it

On a personal note I won't be able to make it

Not impossible for Derry, particularly with the away leg first if they get through.

From a football and trip perspective, not overly enamoured.

Was in Sofia in June for the Ireland game- wanted somewhere different.

From a footballing point of view, would have been more than a more beatable opponent.

Derry can take comfort from the Bohs result in Salzburg. Don't say it's over at least until it starts.

Travel wise for Pats. Flights from london are about in the £500-600 range from London, but they require a stay of about 12 hours in Moscow airport (overnight). We'd get there 24 hours after leaving...

A charter would be the only option

I'd forget about much chance of going to it tbh, i've just this week applied for a russian visa for a trip in mid august, and im slightly nervous it won't come through on time, so within a week or two would be cutting it very fine! though i think there is an option to pay extra and get it quicker.
but if anyone is applying and need help or advise let me know, as it took me a few days to get my head round the process

Lufthansa fly to Samara
Dodge
17/07/2009, 1:39 PM
Lufthansa, Aeroflot and Air Baltic but while aeroflot (via moscow) is relatively Ok (@ 600 euro), the others are pretty expensive

It's possible to get a Russian visa in a couple of days. Officially you need to have a letter from the place you are staying in with the duration of your stay during it but these can also be got fairly cheaply online. When I was going I got it emailed to me inside 24 hours, printed it off, took it to the Russian embassy in Dublin and had a Visa that same day, although it did cost E90 due to the short notice. It's 2 years since I went though- will look out any info I have on it.

has anyone mentioned bohs draw ? if they get over salzburg there drawn against dynamo zagreb or pyunik. id gice them a great chance against either though dynamo would be more tricky. derry played pyunik a few years ago and even though they went out they were a poor side back then. derry had a good few chances but never scored if i remember. if they can just get over red bull........

I think if Pyunik go through, Bohs have a terrific chance.

defo when ye played them i watched both games. they were weak enough, derry never really seemed to get going in those ties for some reason. bohs are stronger now aswell.

Would i be right in saying if Bohs go through to the 3rd qualifying round and lose they will drop down to the play-off round in the Europa League?

If they do they have a good chance in that too if they avoid some of the bigger teams, some teams in there they could beat.

Isn't that the fourth qualifying round losers?
Sheridan

No, the fourth qualifying round losers go straight to the Europa League group stages. Third qualifying round losers into the play-off.

there's a fourth qualifying round ???

It's effectively the same as the third qualifying round in previous years. An extra first qualifying round has been added for the four lowest ranked countries, Bohs game on Wednesday was in the second qualifying round.

I would say "I've been there" but that would just be wrong, so very wrong on many levels.
Busy day and I couldn't be bothered reading back through thread.

Bloody hell - Jan Koller and Jiri Jarosik (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Krylia_Sovetov_Samara#Current_squad) play for that Russian crowd.

Can just imagine the carnage Koller would wreak against Cruyff/Dimech or Harris/Partridge.

That would be a very difficult tie for Pats should they get though,especially the away tie in Russia. They must be a decent side if they have Kollor and Jarosik in their side.

Aye but Koller is 36 and Jarosik is 31.
