MrBlack Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Quick check . Levaki Sofia, midtjylland and lille matches all still level. If the weaker teams win that's 3 of the 4 we needed...or do we need 6 results now with who's dropping out the higher tourneys? Edit: Osasuna winning also so 1 of 4 coming in, 3 level.

Yeah it was already over before I realised with Prague (big turnaround) and Bratislava (shock) losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well. One of the "big" teams in our group isn't a bad thing in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) gent been taken to pens. i guess that's the only potential shock of the round edit: genk, not gent...less of a shock then Edited August 31, 2023 by tomav84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVillain Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Absolutely ideal group; Aberdeen, Lugano, Klaksvik. No super tough games, minimal travel time, Lugano is incredible place, and sure when else would you get an excuse to visit the Faroes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Pot 3 has a lot of trickier teams than the first pot. Some as opponents and some for travel Best group Ferencvaros Villa Olympija Ljubljana KI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Legia have won on the penalties. Here are the final pots for tomorrow's draw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 If I had time, money and the ability to follow the club at my leisure (I have none of those things) the ideal group from a travel perspective would be: Dinamo Zagreb - Villa - Astana - KI Klaksvik That would be lovely! (for me, not the club) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Osasuna going out is alright. They're a physical and tricky team so could've been a tough one to negotiate over two legs in later rounds especially with the Basque connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceemo Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 For me the worst draw for football reasons would be: Frankfurt, Besiktas and Nordsjaelland Worst draw for travel reasons would be: Fenerbahce, Astana and one of Cukaricki/Ballkani/Zrinjski Best draw for football reasons: Ferencvaros, HJK and Breidablik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 If we get some firm like Alkmaar..I think some of the regular lads should step aside for the night and I get a ticket. You've been great, never let us down and that but for this one the double hard bastards like me should be sent over. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Worst group would ve frankfurt, villa besikitas, aberdeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I’d love to get Frankfurt myself. That would be a great tie, it could even be a Europa League match really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubliner Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Not worried at all who we get. We're the best team in the competition in my opinion and the Pot 2 team that everyone will want to avoid. Even with the worst draw we could possibly face we should be finishing in the top 2 in the group. Optimistic I know but that's the confidence Unai has given me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
