Updated UEFA Cup Seedings list

[paudie]

With the 3 Fair Play places allocated it seems to be confirmed that Drogs and St Pats will be unseeded in the first qualifying round.

Anyone else agree that the regional draws are a load of crap?

The Northern region is clearly stronger than the Southern/Mediterranean one in my opinion.

I'm not too keen on seedings in general but if UEFA must do it they could at least do a draw that covers the whole of Europe, though I understand this way helps clubs save on travelling.

Lowest ranked seeded Northern team is on 2.420
Lowest ranked seeded southern team - 3.190
Lowest ranked seeded Central team - 3.365

Add to that and it stops Irish teams getting Kazakhstan or Armenia and I'm all for the regional draw

Look at the unseeded teams in the Southern/Med section.

San Marino, Andorra, Malta and Luxembourg.

As opposed to Liechensteain, Wales or Northern Ireland?

Yes.

Liechtenstein have Vaduz who beat Longford, Wales have Carmarthen who, again, beat Longford. :D

San Marino's clubs are amateur and so would Andorra's be I believe.

You may think Welsh and Northern Irish football is not the best, but it's certainly better than in San Marino and Andorra.....

[Dodge]

True enough. They'd still hammer Longford though

Latvia or Lithuania would be good draws as more direct flights available than a few years ago. Riga easy to get too but a bit hard to get to provincial Citys (Ekranas wasn't the easiest two years ago.)

[Dodge]

Yeah both Lithuanian teams are provincial

I'm hoping for Hacken as they play in the Swedish second division

But they'd probably still beat Longford!

[Supersaint]

Does this mean that pats can only get a seeded team from the northern region?

Yes...

There's a thread on the Pats board the last month or so. We've known exactly who we could get the whole time
