eircom League in Europe - 2008

I know its a big if, but if Drogheda did manage to get past Kiev, and rangers lost out to Kaunas Drogs could draw them as Kaunas would take Rangers seed. What a chance that would be to get into the Champions league proper. I think its gonna take freak results like that for an Irish club to get into the Champions league

As expected WHEN Drogheda beat Kiev, they have an even easier game v Spartak Moscow.

Ouch

But, in a few seasons, you could be a lot more confident/realistic using that 'WHEN'

I suppose all i'm saying is, dont knock it - we are getting better - it takes time.

That best possible outcome for Pats, they have a chance if they play their best football.

**crc** · 01/08/2008, 11:33 AM

Very do-able. I like that the 2nd leg is in Dublin. Bor�s is quite close to Gothenburg, reminds me of 2 years ago.
Best of luck Pats.

**Schumi** · 01/08/2008, 11:35 AM

As good as could be hoped for. If they can hold the first leg, they've a good chance.

**finnpark** · 01/08/2008, 11:35 AM

Helsingborgs hammered Drogheda and Elfsborg are above them on the table.

Agreed that its the best draw for Pats but its not easy. Swedish football is a notch above Irish football and this side seem to be a lot better than the side Derry played

**Juanace** · 01/08/2008, 11:36 AM

Elfsborg are 2nd in league and beat Hibs easily 2-0 away from home.

I reckon they are better than Odense and look how that turned out for Pats.

Best of luck anyway, i give them 1 in 10 chance of going through.
