Europa Conference Draw on Wednesday

[CyberSauzee]

As per Uefa and Wikipedia, us and the Dons are seeds in the draw. Doesn't look like the draw is regionalised at this point. If not there's a couple of teams from both Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan...

[Lancs Harp]

Bet we end up in Belarus.

A tie in against Welsh or Irish oppostion would be best IMO (Im guessing Englands sole representitve will come in a later round -- is that Spurs?)

Yes Tottenham start in the play off round.

Is the draw not Today? Or that for the round before we enter?

We've played (at least) 2 of those clubs in Europe before

Maribor and Runavik. We’ve also played Fehervar - they’re the modern day incarnation of Videoton.

I didn't see Runavik. Well done you win a prize.

Christ, imagine if we get Maribor again. Are they the all-conquering side they used to be or have they regressed?

They lost their league on goal difference, would best be avoided

[AliboyFC]

Never even heard of them can't be that good.

[Magpie]

Got knocked out of the Europa League first qualifying round last season by Coleraine who play in Northern Ireland. Not sure if their current squad is as good as a decade or so ago.

[Kojock]

Never even heard of them can't be that good.

Beat us 3-0 in Maribor then 3-2 at ER in 2010. Maribor was a brilliant trip despite the score.

GROUP 5

Seeded:

1 Gent (BEL)
2 AGF Aarhus (DEN)
3 Dudelange (LUX)
4 Hibernian (SCO)
5 Santa Clara (POR)

Unseeded:

6 Shkupi (MKD) / Llapi (KOS)
7 Vålerenga (NOR)
8 Stjarnan (ISL) - Bohemians (IRL)
9 Mons Calpe (GIB) / FC Santa Coloma (AND)
10 Bala Town (WAL) / Larne (NIR)

Number 9 or 10 please

[davhibby]

Unseeded:

6 Shkupi (MKD) / Llapi (KOS)
7 Vålerenga (NOR)
8 Stjarnan (ISL) - Bohemians (IRL)
9 Mons Calpe (GIB) / FC Santa Coloma (AND)
10 Bala Town (WAL) / Larne (NIR)

That’s our options, pretty good. Vålerenga the team I’d least like us to get

[JeMeSouviens]

In other years, Andorra would have been a great trip. It’s duty free!

[hibby6270]

From the UEFA website, how the draw works.


The UEFA administration has formed nine groups for the main path, each with an equal number of seeded and unseeded sides (five of each in every group).
All the clubs in each of the nine groups are randomly assigned a number: 1 to 5 for the seeded teams and 6 to 10 for the unseeded.
Two bowls are prepared, one for the seeded teams (five balls containing slips numbered 1 to 5) and the other for the unseeded (five balls containing slips numbered 6 to 10).
A ball is taken from each bowl and placed in an empty bowl, where they are shuffled. One of the two balls is drawn at random, then opened to display the number it contains. The second ball is drawn and opened to complete the pairing. The result applies to all nine groups.
For example, if the first ball drawn contains the number 2 and the second the number 8, the clubs that have been assigned the numbers 2 and 8 in each of the nine groups will play one another. The first ball drawn, here containing the number 2, designates the home team for the first leg in all nine ties. The same procedure is carried out with the remaining balls to complete the pairings.


So, by my reckoning ideal draw for us would be ball 4 (us) being drawn with ball 9 or 10.
Then whichever of ball 4 or 9/10 is drawn first will determine who is at home for 1st leg.

So rather than 90 balls in total being drawn, it’s only 10 balls need to be drawn,with each club allocated to their predetermined number. Should speed the draw up!!
Hope I’ve got this right.:thumbsup::greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

i thought Seeded teams normally get the 2nd leg at Home

[AliboyFC]

Not that anyone would have expected it to be possible but it seems uefa have confirmed there can be no away fans at any qualifying rounds in their European competitions.

[AliboyFC]

What time is the draw?

[JimBHibees]

Unseeded:

6 Shkupi (MKD) / Llapi (KOS)
7 Vålerenga (NOR)
8 Stjarnan (ISL) - Bohemians (IRL)
9 Mons Calpe (GIB) / FC Santa Coloma (AND)
10 Bala Town (WAL) / Larne (NIR)

Yes want to avoid teams in the middle of their season so Valarenga best avoided. Here is how they are doing. Currently 6th. Options 9 or 10 on the face of it look best.

Tweet doing the round from Glentoran that they have been told by UEFA that there will be no away fans allowed at any games in the qualifying rounds.

Watch us get Bala Town or Larne now.

I don’t doubt that’s the case but I don’t see what that’s got to do with UEFA?

If local authorities are allowing people in stadiums and the governments allowing travel then i don’t see how or why UEFA could stop them? They were happy for Portugal fans to be in the stadium at Budapest yesterday?

FWIW I think the less travelling the better so Bala town or Larne would bd my preferred draw anyway.

I agree with you completely. It’s the decision of public health bodies. UEFA demand fans at the Euros, including away fans which is perfectly acceptable yet they demand no away at this?

[Hibbyradge]

Beat us 3-0 in Maribor then 3-2 at ER in 2010. Maribor was a brilliant trip despite the score.

It was fantastic except for the rain on the walk back from the ground.

I ended up with the match ball which I got autographed by Paul Hanlon then I sold with the proceeds going to the Dnipro charity.

Ask Blackpool Hibs for more information...

Ah right enough. It's an odd way to phrase it when presumably all of Europe is on daylight savings time, but I guess it is unambiguous if you think about it more than I did…

[nonshinyfinish]

SDG is right – CET is an hour ahead of GMT, i.e. the same as BST.

[Sir David Gray]

Think CET is 1 hour ahead

It's one hour ahead of GMT, we're on BST just now which is one hour ahead of GMT.

Western Europe's on CEST just now but it's 13:30 CET which is the same as 13:30 BST.

[nonshinyfinish]

I disagree - current CET is 10:00 (I may be wrong mind you 😁).

Edit I think they will be effectively saying it's CESt thats when the draw is.

[PatHead]

Confirmed here.

So it is okay for fans at the Euros and Champions League final but not for small clubs? Should be on a match by match basis.

[nonshinyfinish]

I disagree - current CET is 10:00 (I may be wrong mind you ��).

It's not. Just like we're an hour ahead of GMT during the summer, central Europe is an hour ahead of CET during the summer.

CET is UTC+1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B01%3A00), and the current time in UTC+1 is 0905 (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc1)

[Sir David Gray]

I disagree - current CET is 10:00 (I may be wrong mind you 😁).

Current CEST is 10:05.

Check what the time is in Paris right now and it will say 10:05 CEST which is CET+1.

[Hibby70]

Current CEST is 10:05.

Check what the time is in Paris right now and it will say 10:05 CEST which is CET+1.

Agree, but I think in terms of the draw it will be an hour ahead, they are just using the term CEt when it's really CEST.

[Sir David Gray]

Agree, but I think in terms of the draw it will be an hour ahead, they are just using the term CEt when it's really CEST.

That would make no sense but I suppose we'll find out when we try and watch it at 12:30.

Yeah, I can imagine CET sometimes being conflated with "current time in central Europe", as in the case of the poster's conference call above, but I'd be surprised if UEFA did that. Will still have a wee check at 1230 in case they have f***ed up mind.

Edit: where are you seeing those kick-off times labelled as CET?

[mayo hibee]

CET is just a standard way of saying the current time in France and Germany really isn't it? If it's on at half one there it will be half 12 here, they're an hour ahead.

UEFA would be completely wrong if that's the case.

[nonshinyfinish]

I've gone back and forward twice on what I think UEFA mean, but in the absence of signings or decent rumours or anything it's certainly helped to pass the, er, time.

[Bristolhibby]

In other years, Andorra would have been a great trip. It’s duty free!

Went skiing there a couple of years ago. Great place, very small, very walkable.

Yes I've just checked my Euro 2020 fantasy app and it's telling me that the deadline for making changes to my team ahead of matchday 2 is 15:00 CET which is 15:00 BST and therefore the first half of the first game will already have been played so that cannot be correct.

Baffling from UEFA that they have got that wrong but seems the draw might be on at 12:30 BST after all.

EDIT - Just seen this page which converted it into my local time and it's definitely 12:30 BST even although it still says 13:30 CET underneath which is wrong.

It's the difference between technically correct (BST = GMT+1 = CET) and what may be common usage (CET = current time in Paris at any time of year).

Do people use GMT in the same way? If someone invited me to a conference call tomorrow at 0900 GMT, I wouldn't assume that meant "0900 UK time", I'd have to go back to them to figure out what they meant.

Baffling from UEFA that they have got that wrong but seems the draw might be on at 12:30 BST after all.

EDIT - Just seen this page which converted it into my local time and it's definitely 12:30 BST even although it still says 13:30 CET underneath which is wrong.

https://www.google.com/search?q=current+cet+time

Yep all of them have CEST in brackets next to them except Algiers and Tunisia which have CET and they're both at the same time as us.

[Sir David Gray]

It's the difference between technically correct (BST = GMT+1 = CET) and what may be common usage (CET = current time in Paris at any time of year).

Do people use GMT in the same way? If someone invited me to a conference call tomorrow at 0900 GMT, I wouldn't assume that meant "0900 UK time", I'd have to go back to them to figure out what they meant.

If someone told me a conference call started at 9am GMT I'd join them at 10am knowing full well they really meant 9am BST but act smart when they try to pull me up for being an hour late. :greengrin

In consideration of the very high number of matches foreseen by the programme of the qualifying phaseand play-offs of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference Leagueand the fact that all rounds in the new season will again be played over two legs (while last year theywere reduced to a single leg behind closed doors), it seems prudent to propose that travelling fans willnot be admitted during the entire qualifying phase and play-offs. With this decision UEFA intends to actresponsibly at a time where restrictive measures are still in place in order to avoid the spread of infections,while sporting fairness is preserved as every team will have the possibility to enjoy the support of theirpublic when playing at home, in compliance with the decision of their competent authority.The situation will be re-examined for the group stage of the three competitions.

I think it’s probably an assumption since they’re the only team from a decent league. Aberdeen beat Viking away from home in the qualifiers last season so I don’t see how we’d not be favourites to beat Valerenga, but it would be the hardest game we could have

Where are you getting 4 tests?
Looks like nothing before you get there if vaccinated, have to do one within 24hrs of arrival, not sure about return.


"If you have only been in countries or territories on the green list in the 10 days preceding your arrival in Gibraltar by air and are fully vaccinated, then you must upload your vaccination certificate on the Passenger Locator Form. You must book a COVID-19 lateral flow test before arriving in Gibraltar. This test must take place within 24 hours of arrival. If you are remaining for more than 7 days, you must also take a second test on day 5."

The 4 are

2nd arrive in Gib
3 before you leave Gib
4 within 2 days of arriving back in the U.K.

This was the system for “green” Portugal 2 weeks ago, one of my customers and his partner told me this
Think the U.K. ones were £69 each and the 2 lateral flow tests were €39 Euros each

If you are fully vaccinated, you don’t need one B4 you go to Gibraltar, the others 2-4 mentioned you need to do, as long as you upload on passenger form, and take a copy of vac certificate with you.

Great post, can’t beat a bit of European adventure planning. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend this one as I’ve another trip planned which coincides with the away leg but if I was free I’d certainly be looking into going to Gibraltar - even if it ends up being Andorra a few days in the sun would be welcome. As for tickets to the game, I don’t imagine it will be particularly difficult to get ahold of home tickets by befriending some locals before you go who can sort you out or picking some up while you’re over there.

They just won't hand over any tickets to the visiting club to allow them to purchase tickets in a designated away section of the stadium.

I'm not sure what will happen if 1,000 people with Edinburgh postcodes apply for tickets directly to either Mons Calpe SC or FC Santa Coloma.

UEFA are just banning the exchange of tickets with away clubs to sell. UEFA are powerless to prevent someone from Edinburgh or wherever purchasing a ticket for the home end in Gibraltar/Andorra.

Reported, 30,000 Turkish fans in Baku last night, yet EUFA won't let Scottish fans travel????

Sorry to hear that, how are you feeling?

[PatHead]

Sorry to hear that, how are you feeling?

Tired and frustrated. Wee bit hot but not bad.

Think it would be worse if I hadn't had my injections. Got it from my daughter who is a school teacher and is a lot worse than me. Funny thing is that my wife hasn't picked it up yet. She has also been double jagged.

Proves that you still need to follow the guidelines.

UEFA had no trouble issuing tickets to fans to travel the length and breadth of Europe when it came to the glamour of Euro 2020.

Likewise, governments had no issue with admitting supporters from across Europe either, this despite the variant scare stories.

Good luck to all the Hibees travelling, I hope to be one of them as well.

Either Premier Sports or Hibs TV would be my guess.

BT Sport have the UK rights to all UEFA competitions until 2024. They get first choice of all 420 games in those three tournaments, maybe there are other companies who have secondary choice but I could not find any info on that.

If anyone is going to Gibraltar watch out for the pesky wee hairy primates stealing your belongings and urinating on you.

Some Rangers fans never made it home after their game against red imps.

[Oscar T Grouch]

If it's the Gib team, I think you can see into the ground from the Rock. Take your binoculars

Victoria Stadium is in a sports complex next to the airport so quite far from the rock (relatively as everywhere is near the rock in Gib!), there are apartments right next to the ground which would be a better bet. We need someone to Air B&B the top floor and we'll all be sorted :greengrin

Is that including the qualifiers?

Last year the Riga v Celtic Europa League match was on Premier Sport but the main competition was on BT Sport.

Those rights BT hold don’t apply to the qualifying rounds.

Bt sports or hibs tv i think because bt have the rights for the europa and champions league.

I don't believe BT Sport hold the rights to the qualifiers.

All the games pre group stages, are always on Premier
With them also having the League cup, it’s a worthwhile investment for around £9.99 per month

Sorry to hear that and hope you’re on the mend soon. How long after the second jag did you contract it, if you don’t mind me asking?

Nah, he'll just be looking to have a good moan at folk who do go probably...like on the returning Scotland fans thread.

How can Jambos travel but we can't?!

[SJNB Hibby]

For those of you not paying attention, or obsessed with the Euros-how-will-Scotland-suffer-heartbreak-THIS-time, the UCL starts tomorrow with the ¨Preliminary round play-in----surprised Kosovos team is still involved in that, thought theyd have worked their way up the coefficient ladder a bit

It is, but Spain is still on the amber list

[hfcok]

It sure is on amber, and If you cross the border from Spain to Gib, they stamp your passport, so they know when you get back home where you’ve been and have to isolate the 10 days as it stands just now.

Brake down of the money on offer if qualified by Swiss ramble on twitter https://twitter.com/swissramble/status/1409401765376712704?s=21


Good money available for a club of our size

The Conference prize money isn't too far off the Europa really, that's a huge opportunity for teams like Hibs around Europe who are at that level just shy of getting at the Europa groups. It's a huge opportunity to kick on and make the group's and with wise (re)investment continue to do so.

Was it ever confirmed one way or another which round st Johnstone were going into of the Europa? Did they ultimately fall back a stage and no longer guaranteed some form of group action?

Can't find official details on the Uefa site, but Bert Kassies still has them in the 3rd qualifying round (https://kassiesa.net/uefa/seedel2021.html). Means they have to win that tie to get back to the 'guaranteed group stage' position of the EL playoff round. If they lose they drop into the Conference League playoff round, so they'd have a second shot at getting into a group stage.

They ended up one back in the 3rd qualifying round in the end. Still in with a chance of the groups though.

This season however the cup winners will 100% be guaranteed group stage football next season as we’re higher up on the rankings list for this season.

It seems a bit crazy that the seeded teams in that round have a much lower coefficient than the unseeded teams. Saints will play either PSV, Galatasaray, Rapid Vienna or Sparta Prague.
