With all the leagues concerned finished, it basically boiled down to Chelsea denying Rovers their seeding.
Frustrating but that's football. Only hope, very slim is Metalurgi's appeal. No news from it yet.Quote:

Didn't Sligo benefit from a similar thing last year i.e Bumped up to Q3 from Q2 due to 2 Portugese teams in the EL final or something. Swings and roundabouts for the league I guess.Quote:

Links please?
mypost, is that for sure, maybe it's the wifi here but I can't get the uefa video to stream. Good draw if it's right!
Likewise, cant get uefa stream, but has it even started yet?
I'm beginning to think no, and I've run out of excuses why I should be hiding from a whining and annoying client who needs a good boot where the sun don't shine. I'll give it a few minutes then just get back to work.
edit" Just saw it pop up on Rovers website. Nowhere else though.
What time is it due to start?
Rovers defo got Ekranes.
Europa due to start at 12, but who knows? Everything about UEFA.com has failed today

11am Irish time, but I've just had a text that the draw was right, Rovers go to Lithuania. I just hope the EL draw works or I've just wasted an hour!
That's a very good draw for Rovers considering the other potential opposition
Decent draw for Rovers, hopefully the other teams will fare as well in the Europa draw.
Repeat of last year
IBV Vestmannyaer v. St. Pat's Athletic, home leg not confirmed
We're off to Iceland too
http://www.bohemians.ie/news/4-club-...ualifiers.html
Bohemians - Ţór Akureyri/ Thor AK
icelandic team
Great draws for the Irish teams
The process begins to give some teams ease of access to EL group stage:
Hope the draw works out for Irish clubs involved.Quote:

we knocked Ekranas out of the UEFA cup in 2005 I think it was. Good draw for rovers.
Rovers got the lowest ranked seeds. It couldn't have gone any better for them really. Some good draws for the Irish Clubs so far...
Yeah, def a good draw for Rovers. Basel and Red Bull Salzburg were the higher seeds they could've gotten.
When will Pats and Bohs confirm the fixtures? On Pats website it says subject to confirmation but by the look of the draw both will be at home on 5 July.
That'll teach ye's for robbing our manager!:D Has anyone researched the travel logistics yet? How easy are these places to get to?Quote:

Spartak Trnava from Slovakia. Away first.

Handy one for Sligo fans, Ryanair to Bratislava and a bus trip to Trnava. Lovely club, nice ground, good money behind them with their own brand of sweets. Hope Sligo can keep it tight away and nip it at home.
If St. Pats get past IBV, then their "reward" is a 2nd leg tie with Siroki Brijeg of Bosnia.
