For our home game? No idea. Capacity's limited to the 1500 seats, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a ticket on the day.

Shame, sounds like he missed a cracker in Cobh.
Blonde or Brunette?
I may be wrong, but I don't think any of those new players can be registered in time for the first round games.
That'd be a bit mad if true.
So they've just let their top two scorers go (including the second top scorer in the whole league) without being able to replace them for this?
I know there's more to the season than the Europa League, but still, seems a bit much that you wouldn't be able to get new signings through to play.
Not complaining at all if it turns out to be true, mind!

So this is my understanding, and I appreciate that there may be some nuances that I'm missing. New players can't be registered with your association until the 1st of July meaning any new signings wouldn't be eligible for the first round as they could not have been registered. Section 42.08 does allow for an exception to this rule meaning they could register Ibrahimovic or another of their new signings but not all 6.41.01
In order to be eligible to participate in the UEFA club competitions, players must be registered with UEFA within the requested deadlines to play for a club and fulfil all the conditions set out in the following provisions. Only eligible players can serve pending suspensions.
41.02
Players must be duly registered with the association concerned in accordance with the association’s own rules and those of FIFA, notably the
FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.
....
42.01
Each club is responsible for submitting an A list of players (List A) and a B list of players (List B), duly signed, to its association for verification, validation, signature and forwarding to UEFA. These lists must include the name, date of birth, shirt number and name, nationality and national registration date of all players to be fielded in the UEFA club competition in question, as well as the surname and first name of the head coach. In addition, the lists must include the confirmation by the club’s doctor that all players have undergone the requested medical examination; the club’s doctor is solely responsible for ensuring that the requested players’ medical examination has been duly performed.
....
42.07
List A has to be submitted by the following fixed deadlines:
a. 22 June 2015 (24.00CET) for all matches in the first qualifying round;
b. 10 July 2015 (24.00CET) for all matches in the second qualifying round;
c. 24 July 2015 (24.00CET) for all matches in the third qualifying round;
d. 10 August 2015 (24.00CET) for all matches in the play-offs;
e.
1 September 2015 (24.00CET) for all further matches from the first match in the group stage up to and including the final
42.08
For the three qualifying rounds and the play-offs, a club may register a maximum of one new eligible player on List A after the above-mentioned deadlines, provided the quota of locally trained players is respected. Such registration must be completed by 24.00CET on the day before the relevant first-leg match and the club’s association must confirm in writing that the new player is eligible to play at domestic level at this time.
Thats a huge advantage to an in season team drawing an out of season side. How many players do the two Lux sides have registered that were on their books last season? This could actually be the difference for UCD. I'm not suggesting they will get through, but a home win or draw might be possible.
Weird. That seems really unfair on F91 and other teams in a similar position. I don't know if the amount of transfers they just put through (6 in, 9 out) is a lot, but if they've just done themselves out of 8 players (even allowing that they can sign 1) including one of their top scorers (again assuming Ibrahimovic replaces one of the guys gone), that's a big boost for us.
Hopefully it is a case of underestimating UCD! Did F91 have anyone over to the Bowl scouting?
I wish they had seeing as we were playing in Cobh!
Where they had two guys scouting.
But as I said on the attendances thread (half joking, half serious), not sure how much they'll have learnt watching us play 80 minutes with 10 men.
Well from a 'motivation' point of view the advantage is with UCD, I really hope yiz get a solid result in in the 1st leg as if they get a scare it might be a tough time in the second game! Nothing worse than a hanging in there game! Maybe i'm underestimating UCD without seem them play.
Yeah, it's hard to really judge where we're at. I think we're better than last year (wouldn't be hard!) and maybe we'd be mid-table Premier standard now that the team is getting settled and players are gaining confidence. 12 games unbeaten (ignoring the Cup...) and a top scorer who's on 10 half-way through the season can't hurt. Of course, there's a big gap between mid-table and even fifth in the league, and so maybe that won't be good enough. And I've no idea how good F91 are, other than that I know no Luxembourg side has ever knocked a LoI side out of Europe (Dundalk's draw there a couple of years back was the first time a LoI side failed to beat a Luxembourg side)
I'm kind of mixed between being quietly confident and fairly sure we'll get dumped out handy enough.
Thats exactly how I feel about a potential second round game against Rosenborg for City, or had we drawn an AIK or West Ham in the first round.
As for KR I think we're a 50-50 shot at getting through,
I hope he didn't forget his jumper in a Belarusian cafe
It's imperative for our chances, I think, that we under no circumstances concede an away goal. I think a 2-0 lead is needed going over there and hope a haka-esque capitulation doesn't transpire. I'm quietly confident though.
Dundalk were in freefall at the time. We went from top and cruising to finishing 6th. Lost the entire spine of our team in one go and the replacements weren't up to scratch. Any Irish side on any kind of form should be too much for a team from Luxembourg. I'd be confident of UCD going through.
Pats away game against Skonto Riga is on Setanta on Thursday.
You've got no fans.
