RossBFaeDundee Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If it's regionalised, at least I won't have to worry about choosing between Scottish teams and my beloved OFI Crete, with superstar Adil Nabi running the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel it in my bones that the Dons are going to draw Faroes two rounds in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 From looking at the teams from ROI and their groupings for the last round of CL and EL, you can see covid travel restrictions are clearly playing a big part in the draws. ROI only have 10 countries they can freely travel to without needing to quarantine and 12/13 teams in their groupings were from those countries. Don't see any of the Scottish teams getting Shamrock Rovers as a result. They'll be chucked in with the likes of Milan, Rosenborg now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Speaking about the 3rd Round, If we (hopefully) make it through, then we could get one of the following teams (Excluding the winner of the Rangers Game). Looking at the list of team, i don't fancy our chances against any of them. The only hope is that we get an undecided fixture and the seeded team gets knocked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fixtures will be undecided as the QR3 is drawn the day after the QR2 draw. If you got someone like LASK, there's more chance they could be knocked out in QR2 then you'd play a lower ranked club. Or you could knock them out, but then you'd be playing one of the seeded clubs (Partizan and above) in the play-off round. Whereas if you drew Besisktas, they'be be more likely to qualify for QR3 and be harder to beat. But if you did manage it then you'd be playing rewarded by playing one of the unseeded clubs (Liege and below) in the play-off round. Just getting all our clubs to QR3 would be great, then see what the draw throws up. Whatever happens all our clubs will need to beat a good team to get to the group stage.

Motherwell was tied for 50-ish minutes with Glentoran, so let's not get ahead of ourselves worrying about QR3. Hope for the best in QR2 then worry about 3 when it hopefully comes for all 4 teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Coleraine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Coleraine have done something we have never done and that is beat a seeded team ! So either Coleraine, Gothenburg or Torshavn 36. Have to think home tie v Faroes side would be the best draw with an away tie at Gothenburg the toughest of the 3. Home or away to Coleraine would be no easy task either given they finished above Glentoran and just beat Maribor away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Pots have been announced. We can get one of the following IFK Göteborg Coleraine B36 Torshavn The 2nd Round draw is at 11am tomorrow so you can watch it on the UEFA website. Makes a change from constantly lossing. I want Coleraine at home. Probably the easiest and we cpuld potentailly knock out both of the Northern Irish cup winners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The only upside to Gothenburg would be that it would make it a full house v Nordic region, since we have played teams from Finland, Norway and Denmark already. Somehow they have only won 2 of 18 games this season. Also only lost 5 ! Mind we could be saying that at this rate. Still I remember them as a right good team. Play in an 18,000 seater stadium and won the old UEFA cup twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 How does home/away work? I thought seeded teams automatically got home draws? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they did in the last round they draw one ball from the seeded pot and one from the unseeded pot, put them in a bowl and then the first team out is at home. Just because all 3 Scottish teams were at home in the last round there is a perception that seeds get home ties, thats not the case, its just as likely all of our teams could be asked to travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I recall us playing gothenburg in a friendly circa 1998 and I believe it was one of the worst games I've ever seen. I think Stefan Lindqvist played that night for an addition connection if we were to draw them which, naturally, I hope we don't as they will be the toughest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isnt a northern ireland emoji flag yet so they have to use a suitable alternative. Dont know why their isnt a northern ireland emoji flag but i assume there are many issues involved with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
