a don in oz Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 3 ties to get in minimum? The fuck? I thought there were more teams in the group stages now so it was easier to get into? Aye but you've got to make allowances for 8 teams from England, Germany, Spain and Italy getting in there. Or whatever it is. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 23rd June - draw for QR1 and QR2 - all Scottish teams seeded3rd Place team enterQR1L1 3rd JulyQR1L2 10th July2nd Place team and Cup winner enterQR2L1 17th July18th July - draw for QR3 - no Scottish team seeded!QR2L2 24th JulyQR3L1 - 31st JulyQR3L2 - 7th Aug8th Aug - draw for QR4 'play-off' roundQR4L1 - 21st AugQR4L2 - 28th Aug29th Aug - draws for the group stages of the European competitionsNo reason to doubt you Tord but how can they make a draw for the QR3 when they haven't finished QR2. Some seeds likely to lose so sides of draw would change? Link to comment
dave_min Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It's always been that way for Qualifying rounds, that way UEFA can get rid of all the 'Diddy' nations leaving them with 8 Spanish, English & German teams. When we drew Sigma, we actually drew them or some Icelandic team. There isn't a link here with more details. Link to comment

No bumping up or down of other teams. Very odd. Link to comment
Henry Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 St Johnstone took Rosenborg's seeded place last year I think? Link to comment
Tord31 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes it is correct - won't effect us as the scottish teams and their opponents would all be unseeded on this occasion anyway Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Or he could use The McGhee Method whereby he does absolutely zero prep for the start of the season, then deflects blame for his miserable performance by claiming someone gobbed on him. Great days. The Sigma game was when he had a back 4 of Stuart Duff, Derek Young, Dennis The Menace and Harvey Price if I recall correctly. The 'gobbing' took place after we got papped out of the cup by Raith. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 A side from Gibraltar would be a not bad initial away tie before going eastern europe in the following round Link to comment

paddy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I seem to remember Derek Young was controlling our midfield, not in the back 4?I seem to remember Young went at RB after a late injury to Diamond. Back 4 was something like Mulgrew Duff Considine Young Link to comment

He quickly realised there was an issue and snapped up Jerel Ifil after watching him in a testimonial match. Link to comment
paddy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 To be fair to Mark. He quickly realised there was an issue and snapped up Jerel Ifil after watching him in a testimonial match. And promptly made him one of the highest earners aswell! Link to comment
a don in oz Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You're all making me feel ill with this talk of McGhee and Ifil and Sigma... Link to comment

CalgaryDon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Would be brilliant if we could make it to the group stages. Link to comment
TwoStars Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Would be brilliant if we could make it to the group stages.Could go one way or another. We'll either be super fit and be romping the league or be absolutely fucked after playing an extra 8 games. Link to comment
RUL Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So what round are we likely to enter? There's no danger we are going to get through 3 qualifying rounds to the groups Link to comment
The Boofon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So what round are we likely to enter? There's no danger we are going to get through 3 qualifying rounds to the groups2nd round if we finish 2nd in league. 1st round if we finish 3rd. Not in it if we finish 4th. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm going regardless. The only thing stopping me is either death or work. Work wise I'd wangle something. Just take a flashback. Death not so easy to get out of. Link to comment
dave_min Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'll be there. If I die, can some cunt take my ashes? Link to comment

Ingolfsson Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 If we get a team in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Moldova or Turkey I'll be there. Potentially Poland or Latvia too. As mentioned above, the slight cunt with the qualifying rounds is that, unlike in group stages, you only have a week or two from the date of draw until the date of the tie. Leaves minimal time to get sorted and also likely to mean higher than normal air fares. Nae such issues when we get in the group stage and last 32 again Link to comment
dave_min Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Aren't the qualification rounds now regionalised? Bring on the Faroe, Noggie, Irish or Welsh 3rd place team. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Iceland would be good.We could all stay with dave_min's (potential) missus. Link to comment
minijc Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I plan on going, Olomouc was ace, loved getting tear gassed. Link to comment
Ingolfsson Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Aren't the qualification rounds now regionalised? Bring on the Faroe, Noggie, Irish or Welsh 3rd place team I think the first qualifying round might be regionalised. After that, free for all. Link to comment
dave_min Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I looked into it, and it's only 'proposed' that qualifiers become regionalised, so Kazakhstan it is! You're all welcome to stay with (potential) bird. Link to comment
