Borussia Dortmund applied to be the German represntative
hibs applied to be the scottish representative

Hibs is a team I would love to Play. IMO We could beat them and they are a team everyone has heard of!

**eoinh** · 05/04/2004, 11:06 AM

As far as im aware its on today. So we should know from which country our opponents come from.

Nothing on uefa.com re inter toto draw.

From what I can discern from this: http://www.intertoto-cup.com/more/pd...05-04-2004.pdf , Cork will play the Swedish entrant, with the winner facing the second Dutch entrant.

**Peadar** · 05/04/2004, 5:34 PM

Maybe we can share a plane with the NI entrant and drop them off in Denmark on the way?

If we win we'll be playing the 2nd Dutch entrant.
One can oly assume that they're seeded higher that the 1st Dutch entrant?

**pete** · 05/04/2004, 5:34 PM

Most Excellent!

Gonna be huge demand for swedish trip i predict!

Then if we not lucky already we get Holland.

**Éanna** · 05/04/2004, 5:42 PM

ryanair flights: cork-stanstead-malmo anyone?

It'd be just like the Metalurgs trip all over again

**pete** · 05/04/2004, 5:43 PM

I think 3 Swedish teams in CL/UEFA so assuming 4th crowd take tayto cup place means we be playing Örgryte.

Does anyone know if this is definate? If it is then it's brilliant.

A trip to Sweden possibly followed by Holland! Could we have asked for a better draw!

One thing though, do they have Czech Republic whores in Sweden?!!

According to the Swedish football association's website we will be up against IF Elfsborg. See below;

The Swedish Cup was established in 1941. Since the 60´s the cup has been played from autumn til spring. In 2001 a transition took place after which the Cup onwards is to be finalized during an ordinary Swedish season (spring-autumn). The Cup in its new format comprises 92 clubs.
In the UEFA club competitions 2004/05 Sweden will be represented by champions Djurgårdens IF (UCL), Allsvenskan runners-up B]Hammarby and cup winners IF Elfsborg (UEFA Intertoto Cup)[/B].

But the Uefa.com report on IF Elfsborg's cup win contradicts this;

European place
The win gave Elfsborg a place in the qualifying round of the 2004/05 UEFA Cup. Champions Djurgårdens IF took Sweden's only place in the qualifying rounds for the UEFA Champions League as they recently retained their league title, but were surprisingly knocked out of the cup by Assyriska in the semi-finals.

If the Uefa.com report is accurate then it looks like it will be Malmo FF in the Intertoto Cup thanks to their third place finish in the league.

Orgryte had qualified for last years Intertoto by finishing third in the 2002.season.

"war countries" I'm amazed you can hear us all the way back in the early 90's

**Colm** · 05/04/2004, 10:06 PM

The fact that we know roughly where we're going now means we can really start to look forward to it and begin making plans etc....

Why ... what are you going to be up to ??

To be honest i'd have preferred an eastern European country.
When will all this be confirmed ?

Malmö are the current favourites to win the Swedish league which kicked off over the weekend. They are currently nicknamed "Real Malmö" because of the big name signings they have made over the summer which include Patrik Andersson. They also have 15,000 season ticket holders!

**ian** · 06/04/2004, 7:50 AM

That is good that they have 15000 season ticket holders it should be good crack and hopfully get the right result on the day.

**ccfcman** · 06/04/2004, 7:53 AM

are malmo or whoever is to be the swedish reparasentative in the competition in our round?

**ifk101** · 06/04/2004, 8:04 AM

well they lost 4-0 in rostock but that was their first match of the season. They have a very small squad so if injuries hit them.... + One of their summer signing, a Polish striker Sypniewski - a big name in Sweden, is suffering from acute depression so it is doubtful how much he will play this season.
