Just because it is your home ground does not autmoatically mean it was oging to pass an inspeciton. Delighted for ye to have gotten clearance, just a little surprised

Visas required for Armenia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
Armenian one can be done online, others I'm not sure.
Some potential nightmare trips for Derry and Sligo.
One of the Azeri teams is in/near a disputed region (Zaqatala), as is one of the Armenian teams (Kapan). Irtysh Pavlodar of Kazahkstan are pretty much in China, and were part of the famous GULAG archipelago...
Shudder indeed Dodge.
And then there's Distillery

Yeah we'll all be praying for a NI or Welsh team. New rules mean that some of them are in the second qualifying round
From my former life working in the field of Visas, its easier to get a visa for a game like this than for normal travel. It will take the co-operation of the national federations, and none of them ever want to be seen not to be doing everything in their power. It might involve only official trips though

Here is the full list of countries that Derry and Sligo could be going to:
Northern Ireland
Wales
Luxembourg
San Marino
Andorra
Faroe Islands
Malta
Albania
Estonia
Montenegro
Macedonia
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Kazakhstan
"were part of the famous GULAG archipelago..."
You should see about getting a P/T role for the tourist board, with descriptions like that
Id take anybody from estonia upwards forget the rest of them
The Faroe is a nightmare to get to, and not a lot there(bar a lot of blacksheep)
If only Harps had drawn them, we met one of the convicted sheepshaggers the last time we were there
Northern Ireland
Wales
Luxembourg
San Marino
Andorra
Montenegro
Malta
Affordable games.
Luxembourg
San Marino
Andorra
Faroe Islands
Malta
Albania
Estonia
Any of them thank you please. To be honest, I'd hate to get NI. First time going on an away trip as I was only a youngen the last time we played in Europe, so if we do get knocked out in the first round I'd rather it be in one of those rather than NI. Some euro away trip that'd be. More than likely come home the same night. No thank you.
Malta or Estonia my personal prefered pick out of them.
Northern Ireland - yes
Wales - hope so
Luxembourg - ok
San Marino - ok
Andorra - ok
Faroe Islands - no way
Malta - would be nice
Albania - would be interesting
Estonia - wouldnt mind
Montenegro - not really
Macedonia - not really
Armenia - no
Azerbaijan - jesus no
Kazakhstan - def no
San Marino or Andorra would be nice....could do with improving the farmer's tan.

bet you with the brian kerr connection now at faroe maribor he might be a good host if ye get a faroese team...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Andorra would be great.
Wales would be handy though.
Aye, 80 euro return on the boat. Poifect. Suppose we'll just have to wait what the draw conjures up. Have a feeling it will work out....
