CE PRINCIPAT as they were called then.

Don't think they exist anymore. 

 

Couple of very familiar refs in those ties.

Pierlugi Collina refereed the game in Andorra.

Kim Milton Nielson of Denmark who sent Beckham off against Argentina in France 98 the Tannadice game.

Their striker Sandro (Rosell) went on to be president of FC Barcelona during the Messi years!

Wer could end up playing Man Utd the way things are going with them being 7th

We would need to win in the Q3 round first.

So we're looking at the 'likes of' this lot, most of whom I'd hold out little hope of us beating...

If these ‘Young Boys’ are under-12s we might have a chance.

From Wikipedia -

  • First qualifying round elimination: €150,000
  • Second qualifying round elimination: €350,000
  • Third qualifying round elimination: €550,000
  • Play-off round elimination: €750,000
  • Qualified to Group Stage: €2,940,000

There's also €100,000 for each round you play in qualifying as well apparently.

Took me a second to work out why FC Fehérvár had asterisks instead of a country code...

So, am I to believe we will be away on 11th Aug (unseeded)?

Just to clarify, I do not believe the seeding actually determines which fixture is played first.

 

Just watched back the draws this year and what they do is group 10 teams together (5 seeded and 5 unseeded) then asking 1 to 5 as seeded and 6 to 10 as unseeded. They pick a seeded ball and unseeded ball, and whatever teams number comes out first is seeded. 

 

I.e. if the seeded team 2 is picked first and unseeded 7 next it means team 2 plays against team 7 with the first leg at team 2s ground.

 

If you go back to this years Uefa Europa Conference League Round 3 draw it will show you how it works in real time. Very similar to the 2nd and 1st round draws (which is why I checked).

Are they picked from the same pot? If so, how do they ensure that they pick one seeded and one unseeded? If it's different pots how do they randomise the home and away fixtures?

Unless they alternate, I suppose (one seeded then two unseeded, the two seeded and so on).

Here is a summary for the 3rd round draw from last year

 

Quote

Main path

• The nine teams entering at this stage were joined by the 45 second qualifying round winners.

• The clubs were divided into six groups of eight teams (Groups 1 to 6) and one group of six teams (Group 7). Within each group, the teams were split into an equal number of seeded and unseeded sides, in accordance with the club coefficient rankings established at the beginning of the season.

• As the second qualifying round matches are not played until 22 and 29 July, the coefficient of the club with the higher coefficient of the two clubs involved in an undecided tie was used for the purposes of the draw.

• For Groups 1 to 6, each of the teams was randomly assigned a number: 1 to 4 for the seeded teams and 5 to 8 for the unseeded teams. Two bowls were prepared, one for the seeded teams and the other for unseeded.

• One ball was taken from each bowl and placed into an empty bowl, where the two were shuffled. One was drawn first at random, and the second was picked out to complete the tie. The result applied to all six groups, and the same procedure was carried out with the remaining balls to complete the pairings.

• The procedure was then repeated for Group 7, where the clubs were randomly given a number from 1 to 3 for the seeded teams and 4 to 6 for the unseeded. In all seven groups, the first ball drawn designated the home team for the first leg.

• Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.

Its best to watch an example of the draw here: https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/draws/2022/2001496/

From what I can gather, the suggestion is that you lads have signed Danny Mullen. Didn't show up to our PotY doo last night and he was booed when his goals were shown on the screen.

Brilliant agent work as I wouldn't have been wanting to keep him in the Championship nevermind sign him as a team that's got Europe to look forward to! Plenty of effort but no real talent. Gets by on hard work alone.

As I said months ago, Danny Mullen will be a decent signing for United if you just let him do the donkey work and tell Watt to just stay around the box. 

Your problem will come from Watt, in this scenario.

Good riddance to the midget, fucking useless.

Thank you.
