Europa League draw friday 12.30

Dundee Utd please - my Mum was born and bred in Dundee, love going up there...just 10 miles from St Andrews (the palatable one) so we can organise an H&V golf outing too!

We cant draw Dundee Utd.  The only teams we can draw are: -

SK Rapid Wien (AUT)
FC Sibir Novosibirsk (RUS)
CS Marítimo (POR)
ŠK Slovan Bratislava (SVK)
HJK Helsinki (FIN)
The New Saints FC (WAL)

Really hoping for TNS!-the away leg would be played at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.

Sibir Novosibirsk is the one to avoid as it would involve a 6500 mile round trip into deepest Russia.

Isn't the removal of anything Jewish a little bit 1930s?


The old myth that opposition to the State of Israel makes one anti-Semitic. Yawn.

 

Cowering behind the cloak of anti-Zionism to hide anti-Semitism. Yawn

Bratislava would be a great trip. Winnable game, and a lovely city.

Totally agree, one of my work collegues is Slovakian, so he'll know all the decent bars to go pre-match.

bit much of a draw is it when you can only get one of six clubs.

wouldn't fancy the Russians, too far and too many bad memories.

bring on the Welsh.

FC Sibir Novosibirsk would definitely not have a full strength team out - it's practically Mongolia!

To then come back and play Newcastle - No.

i've heard Ghengis khan bosses the midfield, one not to be messed with

With TNS it would be weird going to an 'away' European Tie that was still in this country.

Wonder if Rapid are hoping to draw us?

*PEDANT ALERT*

TNS don't play in this country. They play in Wales.

Great, lets have an argument about whether people thinks of themselves first and foremost English/Welsh or British. Whether we consider the country to be England or the United Kingdom. The draw doesnt start for another 50 minutes.

They play their home games in Oswestry these days- in England.

Dear God...we live in the country of England. The state is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northen Ireland. So, we live in the same state not country.
