I'd take Molde,don't seem to be doing to well this year...however Celtic would be a great game and might get a few people to sit up and take notice if we performed well

The San Marino team is the plum draw for us.

**nigel-harps1954** · 22/06/2015, 8:39 AM

There's a chance for all the teams in Europa there. Even UCD could get lucky with a draw in Luxembourg there.

I'd fear for Dundalks chances, but looking at their choices, in all honesty, Celtic is as good a chance as any of the rest of them for progression.

Jesus. So much for regions!

Bring on Azerbaijan.

A tie against Celtic would be a circus.

There would be pressure to move the venue and a mad scramble for tickets. It would be a huge distraction.

Luxembourg is lovely this time of the year. Easy to get to and the standard is not that great.

Stand firm, play the game in Oriel. Feck every other gobsh!te looking for tickets to see Celtic play. Simple.

I alluded to it before in another thread, Celtic would of course be a circus, but at the end of the day, progression to the next round is priority and looking at the options, Celtic is as good as any of the rest to draw.

wtf happened to regionalisation in Europa League?!

**seand** · 22/06/2015, 8:47 AM

Cliftonville played Celtic at Solitude a year or two ago. Hard to see how we could justify the risk of moving it. The newly released half-season season tickets might be big sellers if we draw Celtic!

**Real ale Madrid** · 22/06/2015, 8:49 AM

Delighted with our pot - if we can avoid AIK then we would have a fighting chance against the other 4.

Yeah, but I've been there before.

They're obviously the only team we could beat.

**Kingdom** · 22/06/2015, 10:13 AM

The EL draws I think are excellent for the Irish sides, even UCD. Even taking into account the longer-distance draws, the LOI has a huge chance in this round.

Dundalk's pot is tough. Celtic and BATE need to be avoided like the plague. Really Molde or HJK are the draw to get.

**Louth4sam** · 22/06/2015, 10:16 AM

Absolute disaster of a draw for Dundalk. **** trip for fans and very very difficult to get through

**Briuk** · 22/06/2015, 10:17 AM

Shamrock should qualify no matter the draw, while St. Pats would only have an excuse against the hungarians.
For the other teams it's down to the draw but in my opinion Dundalk has it very difficult.
