Europe

[DaveyCakes]

So who do we fancy..A nice easy trip to Aberystwith Town or somewhere more exotic? Bring on Lokomotiv Astana I say:cool:

Albania's the first stop surely?

[Bluebeard]

The last stop too, unfortunately.

Hope ye get a couple of good draws and at least get through - or even close - to the knockouts. None of this big draw for a single game mascot manure that has hobbled a lot of league clubs of recent years.

Sunderland did Chelsea 3 0 at The Bridge at the weekend and Richie Ryan left Sunderland to play for a proper club so who will want to get us in Europe?

Just in case you didn't know, you'll enter at the 2nd qualifying round (ie a round later than you did last year - the same round as Fingal got Maritimao, Dundalk got Sofia and Shamrock got the Israeli crowd this year)

[Fivesilver]

Cheers Dodge - fingers crossed for a good draw

With kosovo je srbija banners

Cheers Dodge - fingers crossed for a good draw

No worries, I'm still hoping we join you (although we'd be in the round before, with Fingal moving intoo the 2nd round)

[DaveyCakes]

If this year's Europa League winners also qualify for any stage of the Champions League, we go into the third qualifying round.

Thats not confirmed yet as Hungary can catch Ireland

This ranks all clubs. Sligo are very unlikely to be seeded in the 2nd or 3rd Qualifying round

Bohs (or Pats if they nick that spot) will be seeded in the 2nd round (if pats get past the first round, which they'll also be seeded for)

[DaveyCakes]

Would Debrecen have to win their last 2 matches against Kharkov and Sampdoria for Hngary to overtake Ireland?

I'm assuming Fingal would probably be seeded in the first round, but unseeded in the second, correct?

Im hoping for some war torn feudalistic back water, preferably something in the Baltics or Balkans.

Thought you were going to say Dundalk.

You get money for the 2 rounds I assume?
