    UEFA Cup Draw Friday

    As you all are no doubt aware the draw is on Friday and from the looks of things we're off to Finland, Sweden, Latvia or Lithuania:

    the teams will be divided into regional groups i think to cut down on travel costs......maybe a bit more notice would cut down on travel costs as well

    Not that difficult really If we're an unseeded team then we must play a seeded team and if as it seems the draw is split into regionalised groups to cut down on expenses, we must play one of the seeded teams from our group and as we cant play Bohs we get one of the seeded teams from the other countries in our group, in this round thats teams from Finland, Sweden, Latvia and Lithuania....Of course if they dont regionalise it then that changes things but from the looks of things they will, I trust Bert!

    Scandinavia would be handy to get to too. Actually all of those countries are reasonably acessible, wouldn't be easy games though, any of them

    Osters are the Sweden fair play entrants. They were relegated from the first division in 2003 so that could be a good draw!

    Latvian teams wouldn't be great either. Aberyswyth drew 0-0 with a Latvian team in the Inter toto over the weekend. Cork city played that crowd Metalurgs a copule of years back in the inter toto and they were brutal.They beat us 3-1 on agg but they were still crap.

    Latvia supposed to be a nice place to visit as well, and dirt cheap!. I think there is a direct Dublin -Riga flight now.

    We played Skonto Riga in the friendly at the start of last season and drew 3-3. They were champions at the time I think. Seeing how we started that season, they can't have great, missed the match myself unfortunately.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    because of the short time frame between the flight and the possible first leg away game, flights will be expensive, but if enought people are going to charter a plane it might be cheaper
