UEFA Cup Draw (Drogs seeded)

[Celdrog]

Getting both Welsh teams would be interesting. Dungannon Swifts would be sweet too though Glentoran could be awkward. San Marino, Luxembourg or the Faroes teams would be nice. The Belarus teams might be awkward and the icelanders may not be as easy as one would think. I nice trip to Wales would be fantastic though.
I wonder will Setanta show any of the games? If we get a team from the North they might do. I'd definitely try and get to the away legs in Wales if either Drogheda or Pats get a Welsh team.

Shouldn't be. We beat them home and away in the Setanta and we were practically in pre-season.
We would have had a decent chance against most of the seeded teams (as Pats will). We should easily beat all the unseeded teams (of course we can't draw Pats) so it will be good for the co-efficient but most of the trips are absolute nightmares

The EL teams euro runs for the last few years are really paying off now.

I'm just thankful Pats can't get Z***** C******

As most have posted, the unseeded sides for the most part areseem easy enough. The ones to avoid for Drogheda are the Belarussian sides. Could be tricky away legs against either. I'm sure Pats would hope for Finnish, Latvian or Lithuanian teams. The Swedish team Hacken would be a good tie also.

Huge boost to Drogs being seeded & possibly makes Pats task harder as they now cannot get drawn against the lowest seeded team (Drogs).

Drogs have great chance of two wins too as Wales & Northern Ireland (Glentoran in pre season with first team players on holidays) teams should be well beatable not to mention the countries below them. Faroes, Luxembourg & San Marino would be a gift.

[Dodge]

Draw starting soon. Hoping for Hacken. DOn't want Odense, the Norweians or Lithuanians

[Kildare Lad]

Anywhere I could watch the draw?

[Kildare Lad]

Pats -v- Odense
Drogheda -v- Libertas

[Dodge]

Easiiest draw possibe for Drogs, hardest draw possible for Pats.

[Cymro]

Nice draw for Drogheda.

St. Pats will face a very strong team in Odense. Saw them play last season and they are way above the level of the average 1st round side. Championship level at least.

that sums it up. Drogs through - Pats in with a chance. Shels ran them close after a dismal first leg last year and as half the Shels lads are at Pats they will fancy some revenge!

I found it eventually. I just saw they had no article about & assumed no draw yet.

Drogs got very lucky as the seeding has basically given them a bye to the 2nd qualifying round. No San Marino team has even gotten a draw in the last years & they get beaten heavily in all games. The travel won;t be too bad either. Two wins should at least guarantee 0.666 coefficient points.

Pats got the draw from hell but at least they at home first so better chance of good crowd. Will need to win at home even by 1-0 to have chance of progression. I think Pats have good chance of getting a result at home although may only be a draw.

Derry got terrible draw but if they are professional the long away trip should not deter them from beating an unseeded team. If travelling to Armenia was so bad they would have a seeded team by now. Derrys current form is of more concern.

Touch wood i predict coefficient total of 1.5 to 2.0 points as I feel all team with contribute.

Odense played Ballymena United in the Intertoto three years ago and beat them 7 in Ballymena.

[Bluebeard]

Drogs through

Dunno. Libertas could prove to be the handful in the group yet...

[Cymro]

Dunno. Libertas could prove to be the handful in the group yet...

Think of the irony if Drogheda were to get through 2-1 with a goal seven minutes into extra time.

It won't happen though. Drogheda will wallop them.

[Bluebeard]

Drogheda will wallop them.

Drogs should hammer the San Marino Senior side, even with Doolin in charge.

UEFA Cup First Qualifying Round
Dungannon -v- Sudova (seeded) (LITHUANIA)

I should add this is a great chance for Dungannon to get through. Lithuanian league aside from Kaunas is not great. Rhyl came close against Suduva last year and beat Atlantas the year before.

Definitely doable that.

[seand]

Awesome draw for the Drogs, very tough one for Pats though.
