QuoteHopefully we will draw a team from one of the weaker countries.
After England were given one of the Fair play league spots in the UEFA Cup it now means that Cork & St Pat's will both be unseeded in this season's UEFA Cup draw.
There is also a draw for 2 extra UEFA Cup places through the fair play and 4 of the 7 teams in the draw are from our region so there's a good chance that will be at least 1 fair play place.
It looks like Fulham have got the English Fair Play Spot so will be seeded.
The other seeded teams will be
Viking Stavanger (Norway)
Brondby (Denmark - Cup winners)
2 of Midtylland, Odense & FC Copenhagen (2nd & 3rd Denmark)
Djugardens (Sweden)
Kalmar (Sweden)
Haka (Finland)
Honka (Finland)
Hafnarfjurdor (Iceland)
Liepajas Metalurgs (Latvia)
Olimps Riga (Latvia)
and possibly 2 Lithuania sides Vetra Vilnius and Suduva Marijampole depending on the fair play draw.
In the CL Drogs are seeded and will be drawn against one of
BATE Borisov (Belarus)
Levadia Tallin (Estonia)
Probably Olimpik Baku (Azerbaijan - not yet champions)
Probably Dinamo Tirana (Albania - not yet champions)
Pyunik Yerevan (Armenia)
FK Aktobe (Kazakhstan)
Linfield (N Ireland)
Llanelli (Wales)
NSI Runavik (Faroe Islands)
Dudelange (Luxembourg)
Valletta (Malta)
Santa Coloma (Andorra)
Probably FK Buducnost (Montenegro - not yet champions)
San Marino Champions (Having a 6-team playoff so hard to guess who'll win!)
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"

The draw for the 1st qualifying round will be on the 27th of June.

Germany and Denmark got the extra places
Just curious...dud Dunne getting sent off affect man city getting one of these spots?
No the Fair Play measurement is not based on club performances. But the spread of representative sides of the country. Providing there is over 20 games played in a season then the different criteria are measured. The individual club benefits from the performances of the National teams.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Looks a very tough draw to be unseeded in this year. One of the toughest in a while I think.
Berts predictions of seeding and regions

Finland, Iceland and Latvia are very beatable, as we've shown before.
Fulham or Man City would be interesting.
Drogheda should come through; only one or two really tricky draws there.
No thanks, lowest seeding please
Chicken!
