Cork should go through on that! Ouch for Derry.

FC Midtjylland v Derry City

**Real ale Madrid** · 19/06/2017, 11:12 AM

Shamrock Rovers will play Stjarnan (Iceland) away first

**swinfordfc** · 19/06/2017, 11:14 AM

Cork and Rovers good draw ..... Ouch for Derry!

**Nesta99** · 19/06/2017, 11:17 AM

Draw could have been better and worse all round. Derry have had the tough one this year but then you dont know what you get with Rovers. Rosenburg is going to be tough but not as tough as BATE and Legia. If we can lift our general form we can have a chance.

Pretty confident with that one, home in the second leg is good. Not bad for rovers either. Tough one for derry though

**Real ale Madrid** · 19/06/2017, 11:19 AM

We will still need to be at our best against this team - only knocked out by Slavia Prague on away goals last year and unbeaten in the league this year.

Well feck that for a draw ��

I follow a good bit of Norwegian football & Rosenborg nowhere near as good as last season, def beatable but then that's very much the case with Dundalk too

Pretty good all round. Derry the unluckiest.

Slightly off topic... but, has anyone ever been to Bangor in Wales and what is the best way to get there?

Ferry, and the train - stops in Bangor - only railway line on the way to Chester. Nice wee Univeristy town, the football ground is shocking and makes Oriel look like Old Trafford!

The dates of the 2nd round 1st leg game with (probably) Linfield and Celtic are a tad unfortunate. Id say the fixture wuld be reversed to be in Glasgow on the 11/12th not that it would make much difference.

**geysir** · 19/06/2017, 11:55 AM

Now it's Shamrock Rovers' turn to come a cropper in Iceland.

Are you talking about the old ground Farrer Road short walk from station or new ground out of town.

Apologies pressed wrong response
This is reply to Nesta's statement about Bangor's ground.

Balls of a draw for Derry. Couldn't have been worse out of the opponents that could have been drawn by considerable distance.

Good draw for Cork. Surely Rovers have a decent chance of progression too. Not the worst of draws for Dundalk, although knocking out Rosenborg will be a tough ask.

**sparky12345678** · 19/06/2017, 12:31 PM

so of the 4 teams. 2 are up against tough seeds and 2 against beatable seeds. Rosenburg and Midtjylland on paper are a big ask, but its always the case that clubs need to step up; like Dundalk against BATE... Hopefully Dundalk can do it, pity Rosenburg are in season... Hard to see Derry pulling off something special...
