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

They get Helsingborgs.
And Dunfermiline get Häcken. I'll probably bowl down to that one as well as the Drogheda one.
Good draw in that it is the easiest they could have gotten and also Henrik showing up should get bums on seats.
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
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!
Personally think Drogs have a great chance of progressing against Helsingborg - they're no great shakes.
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.Quote:

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

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.
