Looks like Bohs will be seeded in 2nd qualifying round of CL

[abcd]

I think the form Bohs are in at present they can't afford to look further than the second qualifying round, potentially some tricky enough ties there. If they can get through that round things start to open up, of course there will be no easy games in round 3 but if Bohs(or any other Irish team) are going to make a breakthrough they'll need to take a big scalp sooner or later.

Agreed.

You're right; mea culpa. Ditto Sparta.

But these -


- are all teams who LoI clubs played in rounds 1 and 2. I was looking at who you face in the final round before the groups. They're slightly less daunting this way.

They are the teams that actually knocked the Irish team out...I wasnt trying to make them seem less daunting, just saying that it isnt easier now if you draw the likes of Salzburg rather than that lot!

[pineapple stu]

Ha! Just on a completely different wavelength to you for some reason...

Hi, want to bump this
Next Monday the draws are on..........................

http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionslea...d=1498111.html

Bohs
Would like them to get.............Jeunesse, Linfield, TNC, HB Torshavn, Dinamo Tirana, FH Hafnarjardar, Metalurgs, Levadia Tallinn or Birkirkara
The best for travel woud be TNC/Linfield
An awful draw..............Renova Dzepciste (macedonia), Inter Baku (AZe) Pyunik Yerevan (Arm), Olimpi Rustavi (geo), Zeljeznicar Sarajevo (bos)
With the Euros starting then what bet that they will draw the armenian or macedonia team???

Dundalk/Fingal/Shams also in draw for Europa.
Wonder will it be regionalised?

http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/...eedel2010.html

Wud be nice for Dundalk to get...........Llanelli FC, Sliema Wanderers, Port Talbot Town and very interesting if they got Portadown

In the second rd, the best draw wud be to get any of the Finnish or Norwwegian teams, and FK Ventspilsfrom Latvia with its nice coefficients of 4.649 wud be handy IMHO

(yes I am an anorak - love the co efficients - forget the worold cup i will be glued to the laptop on monday!!!!!LOL)

Not regionalised but they'll be seperated into "pots" before the draw so they'll know it'll be one of five (ppossibly more if they get the winners of AFC v BFC types)

[The Lep]

Llanelli could be a tricky one for Dundalk as they wont be easy to beat. Nice little stadium though.

[fionnsci]

They should be, really.

League of Ireland v WALES (Away)

PLD: 5 W: 1 D: 0 L: 4 F: 7 A: 16

[Dunny]

Portadown.

Few Drogs would be up supporting them aswell I'd say.

I knew someone would react to that! I'm not saying upsets can't or don't happen but Dundalk should be considered favourites for that game if it arises.

Am fairly certain that would read slightly better if it was LOI v LOW.

Your point stands though.

I would enjoy an encounter, between an LOI club and one of the (welsh) clubs that play in england, these days.

[thischarmingman]

What time does all of this start at tomorrow?

What time does all of this start at tomorrow?

Usual times 11 and 12

Am I correct in thinking these would be the unseeded team in Dundalk's pot?

33 Glentoran FC (NIR) 1.324
34 F91 Dudelange (LUX) 1.249
35 JK Trans Narva (EST) 1.124
36 FK Khazar Lankaran (AZE) 1.099
37 Fylkir (ISL) 1.083

http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague...d=1498176.html

These grouping seem to be decided on the day

And, no idea how on this one, rovers/spingal in against 5 of these

22 FK Dukla Banská Bystrica (SVK) 3.166
23 FC Honka Espoo (FIN) 2.899
24 NK Maribor (SVN) [CW] 2.891

or winner of 1st round ties involving theses
5 FC Nitra (SVK) 3.166
6 FK Rabotnicki (MKD) 3.066
7 Myllykosken Pallo-47 (FIN) [FP] 2.899
