Oscar Borg, yes ex villa youth team Oscar Borg, is playing for Haverfordwest tonight

Was he assimilated?

[VILLAMARV]

Extra time for Haverfordwest

[Made In Aston]

Playoff round draw is on 7th August

[VILLAMARV]

Goal for B36 Torshavn, Penalty. Haverfordwest have the second half of extra-time to find another equaliser

[stewiek2]

I'm not even bothering to put a bet on this. Odds will be far too short. We'll piss it with this genius in the dugout.

Haverfordwest fall short then who along with TNS leave the competition in round 2. Hibernian  through to round 3 then where Hearts join the draw.

Crusaders, Larne and Linfield all bow out along with Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk, but go on Derry City

As a reward they get to go to Kazakhstan next week

Interesting I see some Belarus teams in the competition. I thought UEFA banned them

Vitoria going to penalties.

Vitoria knocked out on penalties. They were terrible but always hard for a team to be at fult tilt when a competition starts in their pre-season. 
After much of the talk that we needed certain wins to be seeded, it ended with 2 seeded sides losing in Basel and Cluj  which means that Fiorentina and Bodo/Glimt are the sides to jump and be seeded.
Some tricky possible opponents in the unseeded part. Osasuna will be the main team to avoid you would think along with Besiktas which would be a difficult away tie. Lots of Eastern European teams left in the competition as well which you would like to avoid especially with away games at Burnley and Liverpool sandwiched either side of these games. Possible rematch with Rapid Vienna for anyone? Personally I would love the chance for revenge.

I think the groupings are usually regionalised. Rosenborg/Hearts will be a game we might be interested in for example

[lexicon]

I want Nicosia out of that lot - easy and cheap flight for me. 

[VillaJ100]

Hope one of the Maltese teams get through would be a nice away day 

[turvontour]

With the draw tomorrow, do we find out whether we are home or away first or is that worked out after?

Its unbearably hot there though at the moment. The players will really feel the heat as there is no beach there so no breeze.

Any team in cyprus ill be happy with him. Hoping we get a game against aek larnaca or limassol at some stage of competition my local clubs

 

[CVByrne]

Hopefully Derry can get through and we can play them. Failing that I'd take Hearts.

I'd be flying into Larnaca so that would be even easier  The ones I really want are PAOK or Aris, even though the former's fans might get stabby because they're lunatics.

Larnaca would be easiest for me as can fly there and stay with family.

Nice. Shitty old school stadiums are part of the charm, surely? 

[wedge]

Spent the morning looking at travel plans for the away leg for each of our potential play-off round opponents and rating them for ease of access, cost etc.

 

 

On a completely unrelated note - I am now also single.

 

Be'er Sheva here we come! (Only an hour's drive from Tel Aviv airport with scenic views of the Gaza Strip!)

Derry City are my second team so really hoping for this, would be surreal
