Shels are away at the RSC for an easy 3 points.

Sometimes you've got to put your career before football. :(

My ideal draw would be a former Soviet Republic's team. Never been there while the ex-USSR always fascinated me, so it'd be a real travel and not just a football trip then.
Other than that, TNS or a Faroese/Icelandic/Maltese team would be nice. TNS as being the probably easiest draw, the other three as probably nicest destinations.
You might be very surprised there.Quote:

I'd like City to draw a team with an airport serivced by Ryanair or Easyjet. :D
Where have I heard that before? :oQuote:

I hope Shels get that Kazakhstan side.
your only taste of european quality was Halmstad-Bohs in 2001Quote:

FK Atlantas (LIT)
FK Atlantas (LIT)
Keflavík (ISL) FC
ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar (ISL)
Iceland/Finland would be my preference, always wanted to see them.
All possibly tough games, anyone bar Viking of Esbjerg though.
Of course you mean...Quote:

I was really hoping that we'd be seeded and draw a Welsh team. :(
Eh, you do realise this does mean Cork are officially unseeded?
Rhyl would be my choice. We're going to "take" the sun centre. :D
Basically, Welsh; Northern; Luxemborg teams in that order for me. Some where we can go in quick, drink dry and get outta there cheaply, with progress... :cool:
I assume we can't draw the unseeded small club from Ireland? ;)
Shít, forgot they'd be midweek fixtures! Gonna take alot of begging to get off work for these... :(
Hope we don't draw Myllykosken Pallo-47 because they only have seating for 159 away supporters so we'd be left well short on tickets. ;)Quote:

How did they decide whether Cork or Longford would be seeded?
Our games in the Intertoto Cup last years aren't taken into account.Quote:

We've not been in it.
Speaking of which, is the seeded team defo away first?Quote:

FHK Liepajas Metalurgs are currently first in the Latvian league (way out in front and with a game less played than their nearest challangers
Myllykosken Pallo-47 are currently 2nd in the Finnish League
AC Allianssi are currently 9th in the Finnish League
FK Ekranas are first in the Lithuanian League (nine points clear)
FK Atlantas are third in the lithuanian League
Keflavík are 4th in the Icelandic league
ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar are last in the Icelandic League
From this, it has to be AC Alliansi or either of the Icelandic teams, we know from last year that our league is on a par with theirs.
Shít, away leg on the 28th wouldn't be dooable.... Actually the home leg would be tough work wise (launch of a new system!). :(Quote:

I think for Shels Torshavn, TNS, and Dudelange (Lux) should be the preferred options.
dont wana jinx it but i was in the same position lst yr in vaduz where i needed the away leg second and was lft dissappointed :(Quote:
