Randers

Or maybe Lyn Oslo, who we beat in the late 60s, and were thus the first Irish team to go through a round AFAIK.....

Don't want Brondby, IFK Gothenburg or HJK Helsinki

When in late 60's Maribor? I know we got to quarter final of European Cup in 1967. Not sure if this was first time we won a tie or not to be honest.

I see looking at archives that Shelbourne win a tie in 1964-65 and Derry's win against Lyn Oslo was not until 1965-66 season.

AFAIK it was the first time an Irish team progressed in a two legged tie.

a nice cheap trip to the baltics for me. easy to get to, hot women, cheap beer and a decent chance of progression

Not according to here:

Obviously no away goals rule then and Shelbourne progressed in some sort of replay but there it was a two legged tie.

We beat Beleneses 2-1 in a play off that year

**WindmillWarrior** · 22/06/2006, 5:11 PM

HJK Helsinki for me. I used to live in Helsinki, hell of a spot, so I'd like to go back!

Was there a couple of years ago with Linfield andit is a good spot. Molly Malones pub certainly got a few Euros from Bluemen. Helsinki is a bit expensive though but a wee ferry to Tallinn is hard to beat.

Is it possible to hear the draws live on the net?

Cork City v Apollon from Cyprus, 1st leg at home

**Poor Student** · 23/06/2006, 10:22 AM

Linfield got NK Gorica from Slovenia. They'll at least be getting another team who won't have started their season. They'll probably prove too strong for them though. Gorica have a good deal of European experience.

Cork will play Red Star Belgrade if they win.

Horrible draw, Belgrade not the nicest of trips.

Cyprus (holiday high season) & Belgrade going to be difficult for fans to travel to as well.

Serbs are a nice bunch of folks but Belgrade is a sh1tehole. They're also one of the better teams you could have drawn sadly. Anyway, crawl before you can walk, lets hope Cork do the business in Round 1.

Going to be very hard. Cypriots very strong

**Dodge** · 23/06/2006, 10:32 AM

Get the impression Cypriot football is moving up. Or have I got that totally wrong. Did their side nearly get in the competetion proper last year? Think its a really tough draw for Cork
