UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[eamonn]

Could we ask Vittoria to pull out and offer them £1.75m or whatever for their lost income (they'd be a perennial bottom-two placed finisher in the group stages, right?)?

Apparently the Vittoria boss has aleady said it's not a problem and was all thought about at the time.

Dundalk please, I have family in Carlingford. If we can play them away during August that would be fine. Oysters, Guinness and Villa are a perfect combination.

Oysters, Guinness and Villa.

That'd look good on a flag

Oysters and Guinness  - bagsy not taking a shit after you

From @UefaRankings on twitter

These are Europa Conference League QR2 ties of nine teams (in bold) of which at least one needs to lose its tie in order for Aston Villa to become seeded in the Play-off round.

All these nine teams will play the first QR2 leg at home.

I guess there's always a chance of a shock but I don't see it in those fixtures.

[Meanwood Villa]

Cheers Towser. You'd think one of them would lose at least. Looks like Fenerbache are a shoe in to get through.

Any of the Irish, Scottish or Welsh teams would be good.

Dundalk have drawn Bruno's Magpies (Gib) and would then play the winners of KA (Isl) or Connah's Quay Nomads (Cym). It's on!

Ah, that's a brilliant draw for Cei Connah.  Probably going to watch their game at home - win that (and IMO KA will be tough but beatable) and the 2nd round game sounds winnable too.  Hopefully it'll be Dundalk, the away game for that has the potential to be a bit of a laugh

Yes we may well have to wait to see if the 3rd qualifying round throws up stronger rivals for one of the 9.

Adana may trouble Cluj.

I don't think them losing in 3QR helps us because the winner of the tie retains the higher coefficient.

Let's face it we are getting Juventus aren't we.

Not a problem for them, it would be us that gets kicked out of the competition. Realistically, UEFA will look at it and a couple of other clubs but they see the future of owners investing in smaller clubs and are all for it. They realise they need to change a few clauses in their rulebook.

Which would be a real shame……for Juventus

One of my best mates is from "The Town" and a big Dundalk fan so we should be able to put you right if Connah do play them.
