UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Risso]

Even more basic than that!

I know mate!

[Brazilian Villain]

Didn't Larne win the league up north, recently? I remember how they were whipping boys when I half-followed the Norn Irish league, growing up.
Seemed unlikelier than Lesta (or us) becoming the champions of England.

They've had a major injection of cash from one of the founders of Purple Bricks, who's a local lad and I believe is not of the no surrendering persuasion.

In case they'd seen your stand up?

Ooh, that's cold man.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yes, I heard Larne splashed the cash last year

My mum is from Larne. It's easily the worst town in the world.

I went there for a week with work in about 2006, christ what a toilet. It seemed to be mainly Unionist (is that right?) and everybody was dressed like a video about the Troubles from the 70s. Gangs of filthy teenagers in flapping flares carting loads of pallets around to make a huge bonfire.

Yes, it's overwhelmingly Unionist. I haven't been there for over a decade, but when I was out drinking with my cousin and uncle last time, I was strongly advised not to tell anyone my name!

Edit: my name is Paddy, for anyone who doesn't know!

Linfield are in it and should get through to the next round, you would be very welcome there if we play them

Doesn’t look like we will be playing against the might of Domzale in the Conference League as it looks like they are going out.
A weight off my mind, don’t know about anyone else’s!!

Does the Europa league have a play off at the end of August like the conference league? And do the losers of the play offs enter the conference league?

Yes. There are clubs who drop out of the Europa League final qualifying round into the Conf League Group draw.

They made a decent fist of it after losing the first leg 4-1 at home. I think a Maltese side knocking out a Slovenian side is probably a shock?

My son's mate is a Hammer, and he's booked a hotel in Athens as he is convinced they will bomb out of the Europa and be back with us and get to the final again!

[olaftab]

Please tell me that as we are seeded we will play away on 24  and home on 31 August? I have committed to something on 31st and won't be able to travel :'(

We are seeded

[Meanwood Villa]

But that doesn't mean we are away in the first leg

[lennythekad]

Luck of the draw. First out the hat is at home first.

[AV84]

Wouldn't there have to be two different pots though? So one, either seeded or not, would have to  be drawn first?
