    Just had a look at the seedings this year and we have 2nd highest Co-Efficient in the full round robins, we are highest in the 2nd round and 3rd round and looking at the teams this year, we should comfortably make the playoff, could get Hapoel Be'er Sheava or Astana again but if all seeds get through (which normally never happens anyway) looking at potential playoffs vs

    Legia Warsaw
    BATE Borisov
    Apoel Nicosia
    Maribor
    Qarabag

    Any of those give you bhoys or ghirls any real worries??

    Always. All sneaky good teams with quality in their ranks. Each team always seems to have that one player that never * off against us.

    Last year or the year before I would be scared of a team like Malmo but I couldn't give a * anymore. We've more than enough talent in the squad for anyone right now, plus I can see the squad being bolstered in the summer.

    I'll start worrying about who we might get when we're in the group stages.

    Would take Maribor out of those, just for the revenge.

    Not one bit..

    Having seen most of these side's over the last couple of year's (I know will be the odd changes since and player's departing) I'd say in order of toughness ...

    Legia Warsaw
    Apoel Nicosia
    Qarabag
    Maribor
    Bate Borisov..

    I'd take any one of them right now. My preferable pick being Maribor due to them not being very good, revenge and also not too far to travel compared to last year's final 2 game's in Kazakhstan and Israel, or Belarus/Armenia..

    Even more confident than the Helsinki/Helsingborg year when I was extremely confident..

    Updated the opening post and now only waiting on Poland's league to finish but most probably be Legia Warsaw.

    So our possible opponents in 2nd rd are as follows in order of ranking (If only seeded teams from 1st rd win)

    Zilina - Slovakia
    Zalgiris Vilnius - Lithuania
    Dundalk - Ireland
    New Saints - Wales
    Vardar - Macedonia
    F91 Dudelange - Luxembourg
    Kukeski - Albania
    Zrinjski Mostar - Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Linfield - N Ire
    Budocnost Podgerica - Montenegro
    Vikingur Gota - Faroe Islands
    Honved - Hungary
    Hibernians - Malta
    FC Santa Coloma - Andorra
    IFK - Finland
    Spartaks Jurmala - Latvia
    Samtredia - Georgia

    Even then will that still be narrowed down to Northern Europe when it gets regionalsied for the 2nd round only so most likely the ones in bold?

    One round at a time for me. The 1st round should be a formality however after that it can be quite tough as we have seen in the past- would love to get Linfield on 12th July. That would be magnificent to destroy those bigoted * especially on the 12th. It would be amazing.

    haha.....my thoughts too!....in fact Uefa would probably allow Real as well Barca in the same group as long as we were in it!:eek:

    if it pans out as per seeding,which is doubful as there are always a couple of upsets, it has to be Maribor for me....look like the weakest and i don't think they'd have started their league either which is always a biggie too! We have to get into these groups!!

    If it's not regionalised the one to avoid there would be Zilina for me, * knows how they are not seeded for this round.
