Who would have thought this was how we'd get to the Iberian Penninsula this summer!?!?!?

We owe the Spanish one anyway for 2002, so Shels, if ye have nothing better to do this time next week, stick it up their coca racha.

Watch yourself Shanks...Youre only in the door and Im a Youth so wash your mouth out

I cant help it if im the only one on here supporting Shels while the game is on and then people like you jump on the bandwagon when the result comes in

Eh...?! Calm down, mate...! Aren't I supposed to be aspiring to guys like you (up there in the dizzy heights of the youth team!!!!!!!). Watched the game on the box anyway. Great entertainment. Fair dues to Shels.

Just to answer my own question, as I doubt any one else had a clue,
there are I think 3 qualifying rounds so if Shelbourne win against
Deportivo they are through to the competition proper, which is
32 teams playing in 8 groups of four this time.

It also seems they have qualified for the UEFA Cup, but I am a bit
confused asfrom the competition proper:-
"The group winners and runners-up will advance to the knock-out stage of the competition, with the eight third-placed teams moving to the UEFA Cup third round, while the eight fourth-placed teams will be eliminated. "

Sorry Shanks,

Volunteered to work tonight and it was a very very very very bad move.

You are indeed Correct Tricky.

Glad ye've joined me on my deserted island

Was getting cabin Fever

For you tricky

From the 2004/05 season, the UEFA Cup will adopt a new format that will include a group stage alongside the traditional two-legged format, with the final continuing as a single match.

Altered format
Two qualifying rounds and the first round proper will open the competition, at which point 40 clubs will advance to the group stage. This part of the competition comprises eight groups of five teams with two matches at home and two matches away for each team in each group. The winners, runners-up and third-placed team advance to the knock-out phase, at which point they are joined by the eight clubs which finish in third place in each of the groups in the UEFA Champions League group phase. From this point, the 32 clubs embark on a knock-out competition, playing two matches against each other on a home and away basis. The club scoring the greater aggregate of goals qualifying for the next round. In the event of both teams scoring the same number of goals, the team which scores more goals away qualifies.
