    it is regionalised i believe so i don't think they would be an option


    ps-round 2 that is. round 3 and the play-off are a free for all geographically!

    Our first game in the second round should be handy enough regardless but especially when you look at the geographical breakdown.
    The next rounds I have a feeling I'll be watching from behind the couch. We should be more than good enough to negotiate the three rounds but anything can happen in knockout football. I think Brendan will have them very well prepared tho, plus we have a year as a squad under him too as opposed to last years qualifying games. A lot of positives in our favour this time round.

    :50: that's exactly where i'm at mate! Easy to get carried away after a season like that and let's just say i'm quietly confident...some of these rounds are fraught with danger!

    Would hope to avoid rosenrborg and be'er sheva, that romanian team would be a brillant draw.

    So am I right in saying that it could be

    Bare, legia, Apoel, Maribor or carrier bag as olympicos, RB Salzsberg, Copenhagen and ludogrets would be seeded like us

    The easy one to get to is Olympiakos.
    Train station right outside stadium.
    get the Green Line from Monastiraki station towards Piraeus port.

    They will really hate getting us.
    Their fiercest rivals domestically are Pananthanaikos who also have Shamrock as crest and play in Green and White.

    It's kind of weird in a way olympiacos don't scare me. I guess it's cause we know they arn't a potential banana skin game and we wouldn't under-estimate them.

    No easy route to the groups, by the looks of it.

    Thats if all seeded teams progress from round one to round two to round 3. Very likely a few of those more difficult ties on paper could be eliminated by the third round.
