"Drogheda were the only side from Britain and Ireland to successfully progress from the UEFA Cup first qualifying round. "

We carry the hopes of Britain too:D

I don't think so there mate. ;)

[onephillyhughes]

[onephillyhughes]

Take Dunfermline easily.

[Tis-smeee]

well done against the worst ranked team in it











;0

[dcfcsteve]

Thank God we've got one team through anyway !

What size of crowd was at Dalymount for it tonight ?

[holidaysong]

[DmanDmythDledge]

NORTHERN - Group 1 seedings
Seeded clubs Unseeded clubs
Blackburn Rovers FC (ENG) Myllykosken Pallo-47 (FIN)
Vålerenga IF (NOR) SK Liepájas Metalurgs (LVA)
Aalborg BK (DEN) FK Ekranas (LTU)
AIK Solna (SWE) HJK Helsinki (FIN)
Helsingborgs IF (SWE) Drogheda United FC (IRL)

[CuanaD]

So that's:
Blackburn Rovers @ Eng 36.618
Vålerengen IF * Nor 11.509
AaB Aalborg @ Den 7.129
AIK Solna * Swe 4.478
Helsingborg IF * Swe 3.478

Versus
Drogheda United * Irl 2.145



I know Blackburn would be a full house, good day out, all that crapola, plus TV rights (which would be good, granted)
but really, if you want to hope for progressing onward, or at least adding to the coefficiant, then you have to hope for one of the Swedish teams:ball:

[ifk101]

If Drogs are drawn away from home first, I think their chances of progressing will greatly improve regardless of who they are drawn against.

[Pablo]

looking at the seeded teams, i don't think Drogs will progress.

Bad year for the EL all round.

[Real ale Madrid]

looking at the seeded teams, i don't think Drogs will progress.

Bad year for the EL all round.

Surely Drogs would have an excellent chance if they drew one of the swedish teams?

[McShels]

Helsingborg IF * Swe 3.478




Isnt that Henrik Larrson's club, or did he retire at the end of last season?

Yes - he's still playing for them.

[CuanaD]

There's normally a live feed from UEFA of the draw, but I can't find it. Anyone help?

Nice one, watching now, Thanks!

[Torn-Ado]

The way the Swedish teams are doing in Europe this season, they would cruise past Drogheda with ease.

[Jofspring]

drogheda are playing helsingborg

[Torn-Ado]

They get Helsingborgs.

[Torn-Ado]

And Dunfermiline get Häcken. I'll probably bowl down to that one as well as the Drogheda one.

[holidaysong]

Good draw in that it is the easiest they could have gotten and also Henrik showing up should get bums on seats.

[CuanaD]

Well, its our best chance of any kind of result (even one draw would do the coefficiant good)

Stephen Kenny got Swedish opposition too - Hacken

[CJTheGull]

Won't be easy but Drogheda are the best team in the country at the moment and after the disasters that were Derry and Pat's we need the Drogs to do the League proud. To be honest 5-0 is disgraceful - Pat's are a lot better than that!

[ifk101]

Personally think Drogs have a great chance of progressing against Helsingborg - they're no great shakes.

[Torn-Ado]

I don't think they're that great either. Henrik larsson isn't the same player he was over the last few years. However they still won their first uefa tie 9-0 on aggregate and will be brimming with confidence. Drogheda will have it tough.

Through to QR2, it was as easy as we thought it would be.

So why didn't yous win both legs of it??? :confused: :rolleyes:

[ndrog]

So why didn't yous win both legs of it??? :confused: :rolleyes:

I not sure but i reckon its because libertas scored a goal by putting the ball into our net .Just a hunch but i think thats how it works ;)

[Snoop Drog]

We didn't have to mate- Did enough away to mAke the home leg a formality.

[Anto McC]

I used to care now i hope they crash and burn.

Not often i say this but the Rovers fans were right :)

[Cymro]

Reasonable draw for Drogheda, but I'd still have to make them second favourites over two legs, mainly because of the first quali round results.

Be interesting to see what sort of player Larsson is these days.

:D

I don't know who was happier with the result: Drogs for beating, (as opposed to battering) part-timers, or the bus'n'binmen happy at apparantly match fit in season full-timers letting them off with only 4.

But tbf, at least it wasn't Pats they were playing. Pats would have lost 5-0. :D

There's actually 2 Irish Clubs in Europe. Thanks for taking on that burden though. Must be tough carrying all those "hopes and dreams" on your own. Best of luck though obviously.

[sligoman]

There's actually 2 Irish Clubs in Europe.Futsal, exciting stuff:rolleyes:. This is a football forum, their is only 1 Irish football team remaining in Europe as stated above.

You, sir, are an idiot!

[Flume]

You, sir, are an idiot!

Why, he speaks the truth?

Unfortunately there is only one team left in europe and thats drogheda!:(

[Big Ears]

Yep , since Futsal is a different sport he is right .

If Drogs don't progress it will have been a dreadful year for the LOI in Europe,
It's all down to them now .

its like you're comparing tennis to ping pong

[Anto McC]

Eh.....OK.

FTA :)

[pixiehead]

Good Luck to Drogs . anyone who doesnt want to see them do well is not a true EL supporter IMO :mad: Beggers cant be choosers

[thejollyrodger]

best of luck to drogs , i cant seem them picking up much points though

[Grayzer]

i cant seem them picking up much points though

Why not? Helsingborgs are 10th in the Swedish league at the moment after 15 games so don't sound like they are world beaters, so what that they could beat an Estonian team 9-0 on agg, will have no bearing on our games.

Larsson is past it, there best player has been getting death threats and will probably be sold before the games, Linfield narrowly lost to there champions over two legs, all in all reckon the Drogs have a very good chance of progressing.
