I reckon Ekranas is our best chance of progressing, Molde could be tricky even if on a poor run at the moment.Quote:

If you need any advice on losing to Ekranas... :(
Clubs don't get money for rounds they don't play in. So Derry getting a bye for QR1 means they miss that payment
Too tired to explain the club co-efficients but they have ZERO influence on what rounds clubs enter at.
Not long to go until the draws now.
Thought I'd recommend this article from Extratime on the co-efficient system.

I know it's complicated, but I think the bit about how the points changed in 09/10 needs empahasising.Quote:

As the (presumably handsome) author says in the first paragraph, it's only complicated if you think about it. The important thing for me is the bit that shows that other clubs results have a minimal impact of your club's co-efficient.
A win for (e.g.) Drogheda adds 0.05 to all Irish teams' ranking for next season, so there's no real need for the "do it for the co-efficient" cheerleading.
You can cheer on Irish teams for whatever reasons you llike though. I'll be hoping they all perform well
You can prove anything with facts.Quote:

Draw times announced for Monday there.
Is there any chance of RTE possibly showing a few more of these games and promoting the progress of Irish clubs in Europe?Quote:

Not as stupid a thought as the Turkish farce.
CSKA Sofia, the team we played shortly before going bust in 2009 have gone bust themselves and won't be taking up their EL place again. Reduces the chances of a third trip to Sofia since we joined the LOI.
Any idea of the times of the draws?

Setanta haven't shown a single home tie for an Irish side in Europe. That won't change this year.Quote:
