Travel wise for Pats. Flights from london are about in the �500-600 range from London, but they require a stay of about 12 hours in Moscow airport (overnight). We'd get there 24 hours after leaving...

A charter would be the only option

I'd forget about much chance of going to it tbh, i've just this week applied for a russian visa for a trip in mid august, and im slightly nervous it won't come through on time, so within a week or two would be cutting it very fine! though i think there is an option to pay extra and get it quicker.
but if anyone is applying and need help or advise let me know, as it took me a few days to get my head round the process

Lufthansa, Aeroflot and Air Baltic but while aeroflot (via moscow) is relatively Ok (@ 600 euro), the others are pretty expensive

It's possible to get a Russian visa in a couple of days. Officially you need to have a letter from the place you are staying in with the duration of your stay during it but these can also be got fairly cheaply online. When I was going I got it emailed to me inside 24 hours, printed it off, took it to the Russian embassy in Dublin and had a Visa that same day, although it did cost E90 due to the short notice. It's 2 years since I went though- will look out any info I have on it.

has anyone mentioned bohs draw ? if they get over salzburg there drawn against dynamo zagreb or pyunik. id gice them a great chance against either though dynamo would be more tricky. derry played pyunik a few years ago and even though they went out they were a poor side back then. derry had a good few chances but never scored if i remember. if they can just get over red bull........

I think if Pyunik go through, Bohs have a terrific chance.

defo when ye played them i watched both games. they were weak enough, derry never really seemed to get going in those ties for some reason. bohs are stronger now aswell.

Would i be right in saying if Bohs go through to the 3rd qualifying round and lose they will drop down to the play-off round in the Europa League?

If they do they have a good chance in that too if they avoid some of the bigger teams, some teams in there they could beat.

Isn't that the fourth qualifying round losers?

No, the fourth qualifying round losers go straight to the Europa League group stages. Third qualifying round losers into the play-off.

It's effectively the same as the third qualifying round in previous years. An extra first qualifying round has been added for the four lowest ranked countries, Bohs game on Wednesday was in the second qualifying round.

Big tie for the muckers if they get through. Pats might fancy their chances.

I would say "I've been there" but that would just be wrong, so very wrong on many levels.
Busy day and I couldn't be bothered reading back through thread.

Bloody hell - Jan Koller and Jiri Jarosik play for that Russian crowd.

Can just imagine the carnage Koller would wreak against Cruyff/Dimech or Harris/Partridge.

That would be a very difficult tie for Pats should they get though,especially the away tie in Russia. They must be a decent side if they have Kollor and Jarosik in their side.

Aye but Koller is 36 and Jarosik is 31.

And 31's well past it...

(And Koller would still destroy any LoI - or Maltese league - defence).

Wikipedia says 30 July (tie 19).

ALL the hype and hoopla that accompanies any Sky Sports production was in evidence in Dublin last week, as the image machine went into overdrive in its bid to lend some gravitas to the visit of Real Madrid to Carton House.

While 10,000 Ronaldo fans will pack Tallaght Stadium tomorrow night to see Real play Shamrock Rovers, true football fans are likely to keep their money in their pockets for the real deal at Dalymount Park on Wednesday, when Bohemians play Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League second qualifying round.

Nice little article here:
