First things first but id love a trip to Montenegro if we got past Skonto.
fuk you infantino
I think Dundalk can get a result in Belarus like 1-1 or a 2-1 loss to keep it alive for the 2nd leg.
You've got no fans.

Can't imagine any of the ties will be changed unless there's two games in one city. Handy that Rovers and UCD are playing in Luxembourg in different legs in that regard. I was advised 6pm this evening and everything will be formalised.
City game v KR could be changed apparently. We're all waiting for confirmation as they potentially want to move it to the national stadium.
No disrespect to KR, but of all the seeds we could have gotten that was not the worst. I feel a lot more hopeful about progression than I did yesterday. I reckon we'd be fairly even.
Rosenborg isn't the worst draw in the second round, wed be massive underdogs but its doable in theory. Seeded in Round 3 then.....
Ah I'm just delighted to be back in the big time!
Best possible draw for Rovers that, and should we progress it's not the worst second round draw either.
Not best pleased with the BATE draw,but as our near neighbours the drogs proved a few years back against Dinamo Kiev,anything is possible.Pats result away to Legia last year also.Where would you reckon BATE would rank along side Legia or that Kiev side,because this Dundalk team is one of best sides I have seen in 25 years in Ireland
BATE would be better than Legia I think, but the main difference will be BATE are mid-season.
I'd fancy Pats to be the only team from LOI to get through one round

Really?
Dudelange knocked out Red Bull Salzburg a couple of years ago. They've done feck all in Europe since, but they've three or four very experienced (Luxembourg) internationals. Their keeper has 70 caps, for example.
We're very much second favourites I think. Would like it if we kept our unbeaten home European record going, but winning the tie is still a long shot.
Cork and Rovers to go through.
UCD to go out
Really do know about Pats, going to be tight, hopefully get an away goal and keep it tight coming back to Richmond
Here on a technicality.
Beyond the realms of possibility that everyone will get through? When's the last time every League of Ireland team got through a round each on the same year? Pie in the sky stuff, but you just never know.
I'd expect Cork and Shamrock Rovers have the best chances, but UCD in Luxembourg should be interesting, hard to know with Pat's but their European pedigree of recent years should stand to them. Dundalk against BATE should be a real cracker, I'd certainly hope RTE or Setanta cover it anyway.

Trophy Manager - online football managment game - I like it - I think I'm getting obsessed with it though.
I see UCD are playing their game in the Bowl, great news for them.
Yup.
And flights to Luxembourg the day before the game are now E500+!
I presume the team have just block booked.
Drive and European trip and drink.
What's wrong with this picture?
Going to fly to Charleroi and get the train the rest of the way. Still a four-hour journey, surprisingly. Compared to 30 minutes from Luxembourg City.
Anyways. First world problems.
