European Qualifying 2013.

Ha, Maribor just got there before me! - my favourite time of the year!
Is a decent pot - for the money tie V seltik and the chance of getting through V Ekranas and Molde

Any channel showing the draws live ?

JK Nõmme Kalju (EST)

Sligo should be able to deal with Ekranas easily enough. Molde would be tough, Elfsborg beatable, and not sure about the rest apart from Celtic. I'd almost like to see Sligo get Celtic just to watch the backlash from the barstoolers when Sligo rightly decide to hold the home fixture in their own ground.

"Sleego" get Molde.

**DannyInvincible** · 24/06/2013, 10:15 AM

Cliftonville will play Celtic in what was described as a "British derby".

**ger121** · 24/06/2013, 10:17 AM

You got to think Sligo have a chance of going through to the next round and being unseeded, that's all they can ask for

**Charlie Darwin** · 24/06/2013, 10:17 AM

Cliftonville get the Queen's Celtic. Should be tasty.

Molde have quite a few internationals in their squad. Can't see Sligo getting much luck from that.

**DannyInvincible** · 24/06/2013, 10:19 AM

I see there's an American called Sean Cunningham in the Molde squad. Wonder has he Irish roots...

**nigel-harps1954** · 24/06/2013, 10:32 AM

Molde are doing awful this season. If there was ever a chance for a big scalp from Sligo, this is surely it.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 24/06/2013, 10:40 AM

What is the story with Molde? Didn't they win two straight titles under Solskjaer? Relegation form this year.

**nigel-harps1954** · 24/06/2013, 10:47 AM

11 points from 13 games and yet to win an away game. 2 wins all season, 5 draws. But they've only lost 1 in their last 5 games.

I think they're there for the taking.

The Europa League first qualifying round draw will be live here in a few minutes: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague...aws/index.html

Pat's can get any one of the following in the EL 1st Qualifying Round:

Glentoran FC (NIR)
Víkingur (FRO)
VMFD Žalgiris (LTU)
AUK Broughton FC (WAL)
JK Trans Narva (EST)

Zalgiris, currently atop the Lithuanian A Lyga, look like the ones to avoid there. Pat's would stand a great chance of progressing from all the other ties though, with Glentoran and Airbus UK obviously the easiest clubs to travel to.

For Drogheda, it's one of:

Breidablik (ISL)
Tromsø IL (NOR)
Malmö FF (SWE)
SK Liepājas Metalurgs (LVA)
Linfield FC (NIR)
FC İnter Bakı (AZE)

Pretty tough group and not sure they'd have much luck outside of Linfield and Liepajas. Drawing Inter Baku would be a bit of a nightmare.

**DannyInvincible** · 24/06/2013, 11:07 AM

Pat's are numbered 1 and Drogs are numbered 12 in their respective groups. Assigned numbers rather than individual team names will be drawn from the bowl.
