Agree, we are better than any team in Ireland, Northern and Southern and teams from Wales.

Of course we are. Doesn't mean the likes of Dundalk or Cork City for example (even though though they're in the CL qualifiers rather than the EL) couldn't cause us problems over 2 legs. They're decent sides.

I'd be pleased rather than worried if we get to the second round and draw Dundalk but I'd be hoping the management and players treat them with a bit of respect as they're no mugs. I imagine they would though.

The day i worry about Dun ****ing Dalk is the day i'l call it a day

You might not worry but neither will they and they might win.

Not that I'd wish to encourage anyone to gamble but perhaps the bookies might be able to help with that dilemma.

Eg supposing Hibs can be had at evens in first tie, and for arguments sake a trip to Ireland is £300, while one to the continent would be £600. Spend £300 on getting to Ireland and put £300 on Hibs to qualify. We win, you've got your £600 to fund second round trip, if we lose you're down £300 at bookie but you don't need it for euro trip anyway.

Disclaimer: this may not be the most sensible financial advice posted on this forum.

In Copenhagen we were 13/2 to win in 90minutes which we needed to do to at least take it to Extra time so me and the lads stuck £40 each on it so we knew we had that money banked by the time penalties started.

My mate had flights to Hamburg the following week selected ready just to book as soon as penalties were over. Wasn't to be but meant Copenhagen was a 'free trip' for us. Will probably look at doing similar this year whether I make it wherever we get drawn.

Is the draw definitely regionalised? I couldn't see anything on the UEFA website to confirm that.

How do you know? If so which teams can we get?

Not definitely, no.

They scraped that a few years ago. But they usually try to keep an element of regionalisation to it, but it doesn't work for everyone.

There’s no hard and fast rule on the regional boundaries but likely to be one of the below:

Unseeded
Estonia - FCI levadia or Narva Trans
Faroe Island - NSI Runavik
Finland - lives or KuPS or Luhti
Iceland - IBV or Stjarnan
Latvia - Liepaja or Riga FC
Lithuania- Stumbras
N. Ireland - Cliftonville, Coleraine or Glenavon
Republic of Ireland - Derry City or Shamrock Rovers
Wales - Connah’s Quay Nomads


In the last few years Scottish teams competing in the first qualifying round have always faced a team in the Northern region.

Rangers got Progres Niederkorn from Luxembourg last season. Would be quite amusing if we got them too and skelped them.

Yup, Luxembourg is part of the Northern region on the map above.

It would be but would be even better if Rangers got knocked out by them again. Imagine the meltdown.

I don't really mind who we get as long as they're not in the UK and there's plenty of accommodation to be had at short notice.

I had a ticket for the away leg against AEK..... unfortunately I couldn't get to go. What are the chances of us still being in Europe in September nowadays?

The cancelled game?

It probably is but UEFA won't say how.

Typical corrupt UEFA with non disclosure of what is actually going on if the Champions League draw is anything to go by.

Linfield would be decent

Thanks. I have added your northern region line to the map here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S4...TG&usp=sharing

Following the Preliminary round draw this morning, St Joseph's (Gibraltar) and Tre Fiori (San Marino) could be included in the Northern section of the draw if they win their ties.

How come? Would they not go in to the southern part of the draw?

Preliminary round draw

Europa (GIB) v Prishtina (KOS)
Sant Julià (AND) v Gżira (MLT)
Engordany (AND) v Folgore (SMR)
B36 Tórshavn (FRO) v St Joseph's (GIB)
Birkirkara (MLT) v KÍ Klaksvík (FRO)
Tre Fiori (SMR) v Bala Town (WAL)
Cefn Druids (WAL) v Trakai (LTU)

First legs on 28 June; second legs on 5 July.


Surely it'd only be the teams in bold that would go in to the Northern section draw for QR1?

[CapitalGreen]

The draws for Round 1 and 2 occur before the conclusion of the above Preliminary matches. For the purposes of the round 1 draw, the Preliminary ties are treated as if the seeded team won.

Example:
For the B36 Tórshavn (FRO) v St Joseph's (GIB) tie, UEFA will presume the seeded team (Torshavn) will progress and therefore the winner of this tie will be placed in the Northern region. If St Joseph's win, they will take the place of Torshavn in the Northern Region.

Likewise, as KÍ Klaksvík (FRO) are unseeded, if they beat Birkirkara (MLT), they will take their place in the South Mediterranean region.

Cheers. Make sense. Europa League draws are a bit of a mess now, although I have a feeling we'll need to get used to it
