Those draws are good, they both have great chances to go through.
Great draw for the 2 teams. Pat's will be favourites - Olimps are in the relegation zone in the Latvian league! Haka are 8th after 10 games in Finland so a very good chance for Cork to qualify.
They couldn't have picked easier draws.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Very good draw for both Pats and Cork (on paper at least).
Not too bad draws at all. I'd definitely fancy Pats, and put Cork in with a shout dependent on if they're still on a bit of a roll come the game.
Tough draw for Cliftonville. Glens might get a result in one of the two legs, but it's a big test for the IL to see if they can beat a Latvian side.
The glamour Man City draw has gone to the Faroes !! An early Christmas for the hostelries and handful of hotels over there.
Happy days. Was bloody terrified we'd get Kobenhavn for a while there... have had enough of Danish teams for a while after last year's goings on.
Wanted one of the bottom three seeds, got the second from bottom, and JC's info only encourages me further. Excellent.![]()
Not a bad draw for Drogs. Will be expected to progress against Talinn. Realistically no chance against Kiev but home leg first could get a draw or snatch a win plus should get reasonable crowd. Kiev lose all their group games in the CL last season.
No nightmare draws which is good as avoid Danes & Norwegians in the Uefa Cup draw. Might be close but I think Pats & City have good chance of progression.
Overall optimistic of improvement in last years coefficient.

Haka only beat Rhyl on away goals last season! The same Rhyl Bohs put 9 past.
Sure to get egg on the face for saying it, but I reckon we could hammer them.
By all accounts Bohs faced a totally different Rhyl side to the one which Haka beat antidub.
According to their supporters Rhyl have lost their manager, half of the squad, and had to appeal to fans and the general public to come along and have a trial for their reserve side.
By all accounts they're in meltdown at the moment
Kom Igen, FCK...
I don't think most Pats fans are cavalier about that draw - we've had enough disasters in the last few years to ensure that. I'll never forget the Moldovans as long as I live. But put it this way, they're a step below Odense's level... so hopefully won't lose by 5 this time![]()
About as good as could be hoped for really. Though obviously take it one game at a time, etc, etc, etc.
Great draws...
4 wins in the UEFA Cup and Drogheda should get at least a win and draw in the CL.
Don't know how anybody could complain about these.
John Delaney!! GET OUT!!!

Actually that team are even worse than I thought! They got 8 points from 28 games in their league last season! Finished bottom but weren't relegated as they made the league into 10 teams. They've 7 points from their 1st 13 games this season.
FC Haka drew 3-3 on aggregate with Rhyl in the UEFA Cup last season.

Assume they fluked the Cup so? Longford or Dundalk esque opponents?
Edit - yep, Cup runners up last year. Average crowd of 367.
Has it got the dates right?![]()
Who did cliftonville get?
