    Dynamo Kyiv/Lincoln Red Imps/Maribor if we can get to round 3 - which again isn't impossible.

    It's a pretty nice opportunity for the kids it must be said, I've no clue of the levels of anyone involved of course

    Took a few minutes to look at the Rovers group this morning.

    I reckon even with Rovers shaky form, 6 points is the minimum, for pride alone, they need to beat TNS and Larne. Maybe the Bosnians are crap, but I doubt many of us have an in depth knowledge, while with the Cypriot's, I'd expect them to be relatively strong despite a shaky enough start to the season. 7/9 is definitely achievable, but a point against the other sides would be doing well.

    7 might qualify them, 10 points is probably the absolute ceiling if everything goes right.

    Larne/ TNS and Borac have all been moving a ton of games to navigate qualifying, so already have a lot of league games to catch up on. It will be interesting to see how badly this effects them as the year goes by. I think it's likely enough that teams from very small nations who have an extended period in Europe end up not retaining their title. The new format actually suits our summer league quite a bit, in the league stage at least, Rovers having the bulk of their league season out of the way.

    Our off season is too long anyway, so I don't think them extending their own footballing year will be an issue.

    Would feel relatively optimistic about them making the knockout round, the draw has been much kinder than it could have been, and of the league finishing the season in 32nd/33rd.

    I think you're right to call Stjarnan out as potentially decent in fairness - but yeah, I've no idea. Maybe they've a couple of decent players but no strength in depth.

    Getting a low seed in round 2 makes things interesting. Dynamo Kyiv, for all their troubles, will probably **** on us if we get there

    But a bit of fun all the same

    With 14 wins 11 draws and 21 defeats in all Comps this season. I 100% agree the draw could not have been kinder to us, we got the 3rd wordt and the worst teams according to the Stats but 6 points is a stretch based on any form lines at all.

    I just noticed the home game against TNS is a 5:45pm kick off,,,,,,,,,record low attendance incoming.
    Also the away game in Larne is 5:45 bit of a pain i will have to take a half day off work as opposed to just disapeering around 4 or 4:30 that was my plan

    Never mind travelling fans, for whom it must be a bugger, that k.o. time isn't esp good for home fans either, seeing as it's at Windsor rather than Inver.

    Though that makes it slightly more accessible for Shamrock fans - do you reckon you'll take many for the game?

    Wonder how good Stjarnan are at youth level. Least it is a tie that could be winnable and maybe even a winnable one in Round 2. I was gonna go to the home match but I think that UCDFans group on SM had UCD down as home first - Week 16th September so I’ll be away.

    I'd say we will bring minimum 500.
    It should be more but the numbers are dropping all the time . We had 3100 for a home game with Galway that was a bug game league wise and this is Belfast on a Thursday at 5:45

    Combines as 'man-lighting'. Which sounds like what I used to do with my farts as a druken party piece.

    "Man-lighting"? Surely those antics were the exact definition of "gas lighting", no?

    Seems like they'll probably play a Croatian team in the next round. Wouldn't have a clue of the levels but assume Pea's will be underdogs. Still great to get any win!

    I seem to remember Wexford having to fundraise 20 grand to be able to travel and play their match in recent times, so I doubt it. I think they need to navigate 3 rounds to reach the group stages. Seems far tougher to reach a group stage in women's than men's football thou, only 16 spots if I'm not mistaken. Some really big clubs lose out every year. I think they could probably do with at least a 2nd tier tournament.

    Last year, if I'm right, Peamount would have got 65 grand just for turning up but it's more to cover the cost of getting there such as travel, accommodation, etc. rather than prize-money. For finishing at least runners up last year, Peamount would have got another 10 grand. The relatively big money started if the club could get to Round 2.

    A copy of the 2023 UEFA circular is attached and hopefully I'm reading it correctly.

    So, they're going to get 75k at a minimum now. 220k total if they win the next match and lose the playoff. Over 500k for actually qualifying the whole way.

    Great result for Peamount Utd. When you consider that they are mid-table at present it shows the quality there is in the league this year (increase in the number of foreign players helps as well). Very few one-side games compared to past years. With the talent in the county it is a pity that there is no LoI team in Donegal, with Waterford supposed to be joining next year.

    I think peamount winning proves how bad the other team were. The standard here is awful and I've watched a few games before anyone asks

    I believe it's in the pipeline in the next few years.
