Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/seedel2009.html Access to the 1st qualifying round is granted to 3 Fair Play teams. In the Europa League qualifying rounds the teams will be no longer be divided into regional groups (as used previously in the UEFA Cup).

Neil Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Indeed, although whose to say UEFA won't engineer it to make that possible. Like I said on another thread, a week in Malta wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 it's gonna be a total pain in the arse for the club to organise if it's any further afield than say Luxembourg, that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Excellent news, Hope we can string together a fine run this year. Nancy was an amazing experince. Many more like that PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 A quick check of Bert Klass's site shows we'd be seeded until Q3, then we would face the big guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yir Elder Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Superb news, and something to look forward to in late June. It now gives us a hugely interesting and exciting pre-season as long as we can progress through the rounds. Not sure I'll be able to make away games due to a new job, but some decent home games to look forward to. Now, all we need is our manager to stay and 6 new players....!!

Rickoza Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 June 22nd is the next big day on two fronts. The players return from a rather shortened break, and that's the day of the draw for the first two preliminary rounds of the Europa League qualifying in Nyon.

Martin86 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Chuffed when i heard the news! Away leg first please, may be on holiday for the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJM Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Having the Away leg first would suit us since it's our first competitive match, losing the first leg at home could kill our run unless we get welsh,irish or faroes team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Having the Away leg first would suit us since it's our first competitive match, losing the first leg at home could kill our run unless we get welsh,irish or faroes team Was thinking the same myself. Glad that we were in Nacy for the first leg in September - losing didn't ruin the trip as we still had hope for the game at Fir Park.

Alex Spark Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Aplogies if discussed before,but have looked at wikipedia info on Europa League Am i right in saying we would have to play/win 4 rounds before we get to same stage as last season?

PJM Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 3 rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 If you think Fir Park was bad last season take a look at FC Okzheptes pitch! http://www.okzhetpes.kz/rus/foto/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another number Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Aye but they'll be certain that playing on that pitch to be a bonus for them. Little do they know we've been practicing for the last 4 months in case a situation like this arose. Good forward planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another number Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 is it just me, but every time i see your pic i think, why is sameras playing guitar? Ha ha can't say I'd ever noticed a similarity.

J4MRU Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 hey lads, I'm a dons fan and the only reason I was lurking on here was to see what well boys thought about mcghee leaving etc. But I noticed that you are all excited about Europa league! Well I use the red ultra forum and I have posted up all the qualifiers etc. I can copy it over here if anyone wants it. Lists all possible teams and that, it's a good reference. Obviously there are still teams to qualify yet but I've been updating the thread as it comes through. Good luck in Europe!! Hope well and dons reach group stage!!

What's the Dons fans view on McGhee as their next manager? I think most people on here are aware that McGhee wants to further his career but don't necessarily see that happening with Aberdeen. I think the lure of Pittodrie may tempt him but personally I think he would prefer a move nearer to his home in Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've always felt it was inevitable that he would leave and, whether we like it or not, Aberdeen are a bigger club than us with more potential for success. However, whether that potential is enough for MMG or whether he'll hold out for a bigger job, we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully us sneaking into Europe will be enough to persuade him that the gap between the clubs isn't big enough to justify the switch. I also think that sacking Jimmy Calderwood after doing a pretty good job will have potential managers hesitating, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Gaag Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 so we're seeded for 1st and 2nd, but not 3rd qualifying rounds. If we made it we could get Roma!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
