Cork City are unseeded for the 1st qualifying round of the Champions League, and could face some very difficult opposition in the likes of APOEL, Legia Warsaw and, of course, Celtic. The dates for the 1st qualifying round are the 10th/11th and the 17th/18th of July. In the Europa League, Dundalk are seeded for both the 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds, which presents a great opportunity for them to go on another run in Europe. Both Derry City and Shamrock Rovers are unseeded for the 1st qualifying round, throwing up the possibility of a tie against Rangers. The dates for the 1st qualifying round are the 12th and 19th of July. Personally, I hope City get are drawn against either HJK Helsinki, TNS, or FC Kukesi; I feel that they would most certainly give City the best chance of progress. It wouldn't be a total disaster if City were to be knocked out of the CL at the first hurdle however; we'd drop into the Europa League 2nd qualifying round, so City are supposedly guaranteed to earn around €600,000 from Europe this season. ------------- Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam |

What could possibly go wrong. Tough potential fixtures for Cork. While the CL is obviously more glamourous, the nature of the seedings and potential teams they could face means Irish teams have an undoubtedly more realistic chance in the EL qualifiers. Is there much difference in prize money in the EL & CL qualifiers? ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

| Looking at the draw theres about a quarter I'd put Cork favourites for, a quarter where they have a very good chance and half the teams I wouldn't hold a lot of hope. Dundalk should do well but will be tough for the other two. Hopefully they all do very well anyway, even Derry! |

I think there's also 250K compensation for any champions that don't make the group stages, or maybe that has been done away with as they drop in to the EL? -------------  YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

It's impossible with the new setup for City to get to the Group stage. UEFA have it setup now for the likes of Irish temas to target Europa LEague group stage unfortunately. Only 4 teams will get through from this lot: Young Boys, PSV Eindhoven, AEK Athens, RB Salzburg, Dinamo Zagreb, Midtjylland, CFR Cluj, BATE Borisov, Legia Warsaw, Red Star Belgrade, Malmö FF, Astana, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Celtic, APOEL, Rosenborg, Qarabağ, Ludogorets Razgrad. Being unseeded in the first qualifying round means we'd have to beat 4 teams from that list over 2 legs - not gonna happen. Wherever we lose in CL, we drop into the EL qualifying. To get to Europa League Group Stage we need to win 3 and lose 1 round across both competitions.

Coefficient points is now based on the round you exit so no dis-advantage there. Prize money is a loss alright given we would have been seeded in that round and potentially could have played some very poor sides. However the freedom to play league matches while Dundalk are most likely playing European ties and not rolling the dice on getting a decent side negates this imo. All in all a positive development I think. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win, they nullified City effectively, but the constant niggling fouls on City and going down easily to break any momentum City tried to get going worked, and if they do the same to Dundalk, Dundalk will get very frustrated very quickly as City did, which could be their downfall. ------------- Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam |

I have a question about home domestic stadiums. To other fans, is the redeveloped Brandywell Stadium considered a new ground or at least a consideration in listing European matches at The Brandywell? For instance, any marketing that includes 'Derry's first UEFA game since their return to the Brandywell/ redeveloped of the Brandywell' 'First home UEFA game on Astro' that sort of thing maybe considered as 'new' for some Fans. It's worth an asterix on a list to me. ------------- www.ucdsupporters.ie |

| Was at the game this evening. Legia really weren't very impressive, particularly up front. I thought Cork handled them well for the most part, the goal was a great strike. Cork really should have scored at least once as well, McNamee and Sheppard (I think) missed 2 brilliant chances. Does anyone know if Sadlier was fully fit?

Posted By: AnCearrbhach
Date Posted: 11 Jul 2018 at 10:43am
Keohane would be much more solid defensively thas Sadlier so as part of JC's plan to keep it tight he made more sense. Added to that Sadlier has made some fantastic impacts off the bench this season and again looked lively last night when introduced. It will probably be more of the same next week with City looking to keep their shape and playing on the counter so I would expect a similar line-up. City actually had a surprising amount of possession last night, had the better chances and eventually lost to a fantastic strike, the players and manager will no doubt feel they could have delivered an historic result last night. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

When I saw the City team, I'll be honest, I was a bit stunned as to why Sadlier and Cummins were left on the bench, but after the match, I think Caulfield got it right tactically. Considering most people, City fans included, expected Legia to swat City aside, the hope was to keep the scoreline respectable. City defended very well as a unit, restricted Legia to long range shots with Cherrie not really being tested, while creating some great chances. Injuries to both Morrissey and McCarthy disrupted the match plan somewhat. While Legia's goal was a fantastic one, there is some frustration surrounding it; nine times out ten, that shot flies over the bar, and the amount of space the scorer had was criminal, so it was an avoidable goal from a City perspective. The most frustrating thing for me, though, are the chances City missed, particularly the ones from McNamee and Cummins; City could and should have been 2-0 up by the time Legia's goal came around. There was also a mish*t from Keohane and header that was cleared off the line, but at this level, you have to take those chances. The main thing is is that City are still well in this tie, and have nothing to lose in the second leg, so anything is possible. Even if City do lose in Warsaw, there's still the cushion of the Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round. ------------- Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam |

First time seeing rovers this year - right full was awful with the ball at his feet, and it seemed the left full had nothing in front of him so either forced back to a centre back or a hopeful clip down the line every time. Started bright but lacked creativity, Finn was quiet enough. Tight enough contest that could've gone either way. The young keeper excellent on the ball he's been coached well to play under pressure. |

Got fairly smashed up after making a clearance. Had words for the striker who did it and then wouldn't shake their manager's hand when he was being helped off

| Looks like a disappointing year in Europe unless Dundalk assuming they see it out beat the Cypriot team in the next round. I take it Cork would face a very tough EL 3rd round if they go out of the CL |

Rovers had no width and created nothing. AIK wasn't up to much but deserved the win ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

The top three sides would be beyond City, you would imagine they would have a good chance against the rest. TNS would be a walkover.
------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |
