As far as I know, the uefa and Cl qualifying draws are on this friday
According to this website.................
http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/...eedcl2007.html
Derry city are seeded, but what teams do ye guys fancy?
Linfield would be funny? or Rangers (andorra!)
Uefa cup...............
http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/...eeduc2007.html
but for the Uefa, both drogheda and St Pats are not seeded, which looking at the seeded teams looks like it could be tough to get into the next round.....Ob Odense, Aik stockholm (again), HJK Helsinki, Helsingborg
Didn't present too many problems last year........Originally Posted by bennocelt
There are some tough teams in there but Drogs and Pats are the second highest unseeded and the seeded teams will dread getting either of us after last year's UEFA matches for EL sides.
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
yeah thats true, but once bitten twice shy?
but it would be far better to get those Latvian teams
more like 'three times bitten' now - the last 3 years have seen eL teams have good european results
hopefully this will be 4
HJK Helsinki are the lowest ranked seed
Personally I'm hoping for Hacken

Both Pats and Drogs would be competitive against every team on the seeded list but would have the best chance of progression against the teams from Häcken down (obviously). Brann Bergen played a weakened team in the UEFA Cup last year as their priority was on winning the league so they might also be a good draw this year around as well (mind you their second team was still good enough to beat Glentoran). AIK and Helsingborg are both struggling in the Swedish league atm and they wouldn't necessarily be a bad draw either.
It will be interesting to see who Derry get in the second round (draw also on Friday) Despite how badly they're playing at the moment they surely should qualify and there are some beatable teams in the draw. Dinamo Zagreb, Genk, APOEL Nicosia and Debrecen could be beaten. Unfortunately they'll prob get someone like Shaktar Donetsk or Slavia Prague who will run rings around them!
On their day Pat's and Drogheda shouldn't be too worried about anyone in the UEFA Cup draw.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Is Henrik Larsson still playing for them? Could be a good money spinning draw if so...
The New Saints (Wales) would be a good draw for Derry, especially as it would be convenient to go to the away leg.
Mind you if I were a Derry supporter and Alan Matthews is offered the Derry job I'd be sh!tting my pants!
I'm hoping for the San Marinese or Andorra reps, as long as we don't have to go to Kazakhstan I don't really mind! Also as exciting as a European tie with Linfield would be, there's a major chance we'd get beaten the way we've been playing.

Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
The CL is an open draw then? No regionalisation?
And I was being accused of being cocky.
Being seeded doesn't mean LOI teams are dead certs to get through. I think Derry City should concentrate on winning their round first before thinking about the next draw.

To be honest, I really want to meet Derry City in Europe. We are unbeaten against Derry City and on top of that, Derry City are going through a torrid time at the moment.
Failing Derry City, a Finnish side would do. Their isn't really much difference in standard.
I just hope Linfield dont get Zagreb, going by co-efficients, they look like they would hammer Linfield.

Yup certainly is. Which means that Derry City could be sampling the delights of Azerbaijan/ Armenia/ Belarus/ Kazakhstan if we're not lucky.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
He's a Galway fan in case you didn't know.
We couldn't beat snow off a rope at the minute, but I'm sure we would raise our game sufficiently if drawn against Linfield, just like the last time an EL side played and IL one in Europe, when we saw the advantage of playing mid-season.
However I'd rather we didn't draw Linfield because of the hoopla of staging the tie right in the middle of the marching season.
Aye, he's playing with them. Would be a good money spinner but it could end up with a large Oirish support shouting for the other team.
I know, I'm talking about the arrogance from LOI supporters that they'll hammer this that and the other. When in actual fact, you could quite easily lose. Although I think confidence is good, but their is a thin line between confidence and arrogance.
Also Glentoran has never performed against LOI clubs, so comparing Glentoran to Linfield isn't really like for like. Also that same season Linfield beat them 3-0, 4-1, 1-0, drew 3-3, won 6-0, drew 0-0 and then beat them for the 5th time 2-1.
So it didn't really matter when Glentoran played, they where sh1t anyway.

If the money is put into the clubs coffers, would you really care who supports who?

It would be preferable if the "home" support shouted for the home team. But it goes without saying you'd take their money
Well yeah.It would be preferable if the "home" support shouted for the home team. But it goes without saying you'd take their money
Although I wish all the people who hated Linfield would attend the away end at Windsor Park every week to boo us. Sure we would be out numbered, but think of the money we would have to fund our teams full-time future
