Guessing Edvard is hoping we draw B36 or KI.

What unromantic names! Ugh...Edvard, can't you tell them to rename more memorably?

I would like us to get Hibernian or Hearts.

Yeah, would be a game that attracts interest and one we should take care of over two legs.
Also it's at the tail end of the festival season, so you've pretty much got 24hr drinking going on (pubs open til 3am, clubs open til 5am, then the first pubs reopen their doors at 5am ... though your pros go for a wander up Calton Hill (overlooking Hibs' ground) and wait for the 6am opening jobs, since they're of a (slightly) higher calibre.

Think one is Boldklubben or similar, which presumably means Ballclub. Founded in 1936.

KI is Klaksvik and then something that I can't spell or prounounce.

Assume we are all AB Argir fans on here anyway, what with the claret and blue kits?

There's a team from Belarus in amongst that lot.  I thought the Belarusian teams had been banned.  Also two teams without a nationality given. 

Dila Gori are from Geirgia and Neftci Baku are from Azerbaijan. Caucasustastic!

I too thought a visit to Belarus could be interesting from a geopolitical perspective.

Derry City would be a great draw if they get through.

B36 stands for Ballclub 36, due to be founded in 1936, and also has a co name now, that is FC Torshavn.
KI or KÍ stands for Klaskvíkar Ítrottarfelag - Sportsclub of Klaksvik.
And as you correctly say, AB (Argja Bóltfelag, Ballclub of Argir) are using claret and blue, as they were founded in 1973 by Johnny Nyby, who was indeed a Villa supporter and picked the colors from Aston Villa

To be honest, I would prefer that Villa met a Faroese team in group stages

B36?  For our first trip after 13 years out of Europe I hope we get to travel a bit further than Castle Bromwich.

Can't draw KÍ until group stages, as they are secured a spot there.

I've never been, but good people seem to come from there, so can't wait.

They have to play the home game in the next round in Dublin at Shamrock Rovers ground because there own ground is not up to standard

Cheers Edvard and good to know about AB Argir.

So ideally B36 in Playoff Round and then KI in the Group Stage.

Without wanting to sound Wilma-ish, I hope the club don't take the piss with the ticket prices for this competition.
