    Talking Rovers in Europe

    A superb achievement by the Bit O'Red. They did exactly what was needed tonight. A proud day and reward for all the hard work by the club and all who kept faith with rovers after some big setbacks during the year. Bring on the summer !! Everyone associated with Sligo Rovers can be very proud tonight.

    Up there as one of the great acheivements. still cant believe it

    Fair ****s, Rovers. I remember Cook saying the results would "only go one way" after the turmoil mid-season. He was right.

    I hate to sound stupid, but what now?

    Is it a qualifying system? Is it the same as Cork last year and get a team like Haka FC?
    Everyone is celebrating, but who knows what EXACTLY it means?? lol

    Setanta Cup is a defo also yes? 9 teams next year, Cork also get in as winners from last year. Linfield away anyone?

    Someone please help with all the questions!!!

    Us and St Pats enter at pre quals 1 with 50 teams from Azerbajan to Timbuck21

    next round Derry enter and there are 2 further rounds before Group Stages.

    Word was some of qualifying was regionalised, cant prove it.. lets hope so or it may bankrupt the club if not, ie, Azerbajan..

    Competition is called EUROPA LEAGUE

    Just did some research and found out where we could be going and who we could be playing

    Its the Europa League as pointed out
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Eu...009%E2%80%9310

    We are in the 1st round along with 49 other teams!

    BASICALLY,
    3RD place teams from the following countries are in the 1st round of the Europa League
    -Israel, Sweden (Helsingborg are their 3rd place team), Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Cyprus, Slovenia, Finland (FC Lahti), Latvia (Skonto Rīga), Bosnia & Herz, Lithuania, Moldova

    Then 2ND & 3RD place teams from :
    Ireland (Us and St. Pats), Macedonia, Iceland, Belarus (Dynamo Minsk & MTZ-RIPO), Estonia (Flora & TVMK), Azerbaijan, Albania, Armenia, Kazakhstan (Irtysh & someone else), Northern Ireland, Wales, Faroe Islands, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro

    Thats 45 teams and then for good measure throw in:
    -The winners of the cup in Andorra
    -The winners of the cup in San Marino
    -3 UEFA Fairplay Teams



    ----------------------------------------------
    So, it could be anyone, anywhere really
    Last year Man City got 1 of the 3 Fairplay spots

    For progression purposes i hope we get say the 3rd place team in Kazakhstan currently marked as 'someone else'

    Not sure if we can get a Northern irish or Welsh club but presume we can

    Would like to avoid Helsingborg anyways

    All in all, either hope Spurs or some other non qualifying English team get the Fairplay award and draw them OR out of the other destinations Malta seems nice in June

    Ots regionalised lads so you'll play someone from Scandanavia, the Baltics (Latvia etc), Wales, the North,

    This site is great for figuring out who you'll play
