Rumours on their forum that we have been drawn against Rhyl of Wales, hope so, sounds like a deadly away trip! nothing will be confirmed on their site until 2pm it says, they have to do teh draws for the 2nd and 3rd rounds too I think...
The draw for the Intertoto Cup is due to take place at 12pm CET today. Anyone got any news on this?
Bohs are representing us in this and if they get through 3 rounds will enter the Uefa Cup.

Whats the craic with Boh's being the first side in Europe to feature a shirt sponsor? Seen it on the Rhyl website!
Say nothin til ya hear more!
Please say this true. cousins have a caravan in rhyl would be great craic
Got my first tatoo in Rhy; circa 2000 and also went to a game whilst there. their stadium would be quite similar to the Carlise grounds which is Ironic as rhyl is very like Bray as in seaside town, Amusements etc.

Bohs against Rhyl. (Took this from Elfsborg - Sweden's reps in the intertoto).
Second round against winner Latvia/ Iceland.
Third Round winners Sweden/Faroes - Scotland.
Excellent chance of making the third round so. Winners of round 3 go into the UEFA Cup, yeah?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Yeah winners of the third round into the Uefa Cup.
No excellent chance at making the third. We only have to play a Latvia/Icelandic team in the 2nd round.
We don't play Scotland or Sweden until the 3rd round.
Sweet. fast ferry to Holyhead. half hour on the train to rhyl and a five minute walk to the stadium. Lets go Mental we're going continental
I would expect Bohs to make the 3rd round based on that draw although Latvians not bad. The again the last team black & red striped team to play in wales did not get on so well... Wales-Latvia-Scotland trips should be sponsored by beer company
Scottish team would be great trip too & would attract reasonable home crowd. I normally avoid SPL matches on TV but saw some of Dundee United & Hibernian yesterday & was terrible but don't know if that representative of the standard of those teams.
Elfsborg (Sweden) will be more than a match for the Scottish team esp. as Elfsborg will be match fit whilst the Scots will only be starting pre-season.
I think Bohs fans will have to be a bit cute and not blow all their money on the first game away. What alot of City fans did the last time was back City to win (€1-200) and made money to go on the next trip. They'll have to have their mouse on the submit button as well to get cheap flights to next away leg.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Class, really hope we get to the third round and play Hibs. Love Edinburgh!
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
What about my sponsorship question![]()

Rhyl is a great draw. You should have few issues beating them, and it's a handy away trip for Dublin fans. Probably quicker for yees to get there than it is to Derry or Ballbofey
When are the two legs ? I might head up to the Welsh one meself.
Rhyl lost to Portmadog on Saturday, which has saved the Ports from relegation. The Welsh league is over now, otherwise you could've watched Rhyl on S4C yourselves. They are in the League Cup Final on Sunday, but I'm fairly sure it won't be televised in any way though.
As for Skonto Riga - they're not as bad as most people would instantly assume. Granted - they're not brilliant, but they're not muck either. They'd definitely be better than Rhyl.
