From the teams that have qualified and will be unseeded for the 1st qualifying round, here is the distances from Edinburgh to the nearest city;

 

(distance in miles)

Omagh, Northern Ireland - 187

Cardiff, Wales - 309

Cork, Republic of Ireland - 353

Torshavn, Faroe Islands - 439

Luxembourg, Luxembourg - 586

Andorra La Vella, Andorra - 953

Bratislava, Slovakia - 1,014

Riga, Latvia - 1,041

Tallinn, Estonia - 1,055

Helsinki, Finland - 1,063

San Marino, San Marino - 1,079

Budapest, Hungary - 1,112

Vilnius, Lithuania - 1,119

Sarajevo, Bosnia - 1,266

Podgorica, Montenegro - 1,369

Gibraltar, Gibraltar - 1,372

Skopje, Macedonia - 1,464

Valletta, Malta - 1,616

Tbilisi, Georgia - 2,342

Yerevan, Armenia - 2,401

Baku, Azerbaijan - 2,598

 

Anything over 2,000 miles would be pretty brutal to get to.

Suddenly a trip to the Faroe Islands must look pretty enticing to some.

Be careful what you wish for. If you are seeded in QR2 you could end up with Kairat Almaty, who will be unseeded and who knocked Aberdeen out in QR3 this season.

 

They'll be the toughest team in that round, better than the top seeds. Their midfield consists of Andrey Arshavin and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, plus a smattering of handy Brazilians and Gohou up front. And the fact it's 3500 miles away.

 

You'll also have next to no chance of being seeded in QR3, while Aberdeen were this season after being paired with Rijeka then taking their seeding (though then met the unseeded and aforementioned Kairat), although depends on what you want - a realistic chance of making the group stages or a cracking away day in Europe against Hertha Berlin or AC Milan.

 

 

If we make the Round 2, we have a 97% chance of drawing someone other than Kairat Almaty.

 

If we were unseeded in Round 2, we'd have around a 30-40% chance of drawing a team of a high enough seeding to be seeded (e.g. Maribor, Partizan Belgrade) in the following round and then we'd have to beat them, which isn't particularly likely.

 

Even then, if Hearts get to Round 3 and are unseeded, we'd have almost as good a chance of drawing one of the seeded teams like Maribor or Partizan Belgrade in that round as we would have in the previous round had we been unseeded.

 

To put it more simply there's just as much chance of:

 

Round 2: being seeded and drawing someone like Linfield

Round 3: being unseeded and drawing someone like Partizan Belgrade;

 

as there is of:

 

Round 2: being unseeded and drawing someone like Partizan Belgrade

Round 3: being seeded and drawing a relatively strong unseeded team, as Aberdeen did last year.

 

I doubt many people would say the second scenario is an easier path.

 

You can clutch at straws all you like but there's no doubt, objectively, that being seeded in the second round gives us a better chance of progressing as far as possible.

Gibraltar in June's nice.

All true, however Red Star Belgrade - likely to be the third highest seeds in QR2 - were thumped 4-1 on aggregate last season by Kairat Almaty in QR1.

 

Maribor, the top seeds in QR2, were knocked out of Europe by Astana, another side from Kazakhstan.

 

My points being..

 

- avoid Kairat Almaty at all costs (I'll hold you personally responsible if Hearts get them).

 

- in my opinion, the top seeds in QR2 are beatable. There's not a single team there I'd fear. Groningen and Rijeka were both good teams and we knocked them out. To get to the group stages you're going to have to knock someone good out at some point - catching them cold in QR2 and hoping the draw does you a favour in QR3 (which it hasn't done for us the past two years) and you could be in the play-off round.

To be honest its all irrelevant when you look at the strength of the sides on the play-off round (the round we faced Liverpool and Tottenham)

 

The state the Scottish co-efficient is in, 2 ties as a seeded team ideally to favourable places then a big team in the sunshine would be decent. Until the co-efficient improves and Scottish clubs start performing like the size of clubs they are in Europe (i.e. Celtic and Rangers) we can forget the groups. To think a club the size of Hearts or Aberdeen could knock out one of them seeded teams in play off round with a budget at least 4 or 5 times larger is crazy talk

Just a few examples from last season's play-off round.

 

Midtjylland knocked out Southampton.

 

Atletico Bilbao only knocked Zilina of Slovakia out on away goals after drawing 3-3 on aggregate.

 

Dynamo Minsk took Salburg to penalties.

 

It can be done.

[Joe Hearts]

Only six week until our first tie!

So you are saying that in the one out of three extreme examples, it can be done.

[Watt-Zeefuik]

It won't happen every season, so we need to be having a kick at the ball every season, and with a bit of magic break through every so often.

 

If the likes of Qarabag and Gabala can make it to the group stages unseeded, what (other than a run of bad luck in the draw) makes us think we can't?

Because since the four qualifying stages have came about, the only teams to do it are

 

Fulham 2011/12

Twente, Rosenborg 2012/13

Tromso (got put out then re-instated) 2013/14

Gabala 2014/15

 

Bare in mind there are usually 90+ teams entering from the 1st every season. Qarabag had least had the good fortune of a shite Celtic team papping them out in the CL group stages beforehand.

 

It's like we're saying we put a man on the moon, ergo we can put one on Mars too. I'm not saying it will never happen, but we need a ridiculous number of things to go our way for it to happen. I'd love us to be in the group stages as much as the next fan, but maybe just enjoy our trips and take anything beyond the third qualifying as a bonus?

 

In fairness, my beef is with the hoops we have to jump through just to get the playoff rounds, never mind the group stages.

The Scotland coefficient is currently about as bad as it is ever going to get.  We're paying for the years of Motherwell sucking up places and doing faceplants every time. (and, yes, the absence of the Ibrox menace.) A competent Aberdeen and some good runs from us will start rebuilding that, and in 3-4 years I expect Scotland to be getting back towards the levels with more advanced qualifying.

[West Jambo]

Surely the dozen or so page European thread that already exists was suitable for this?

[peter_hmfc]

Right now it looks as though our only hope of passing the 3rd qualifier is to draw a team that later gets throw out for match fixing, rioting, financial difficulties, etc, such as Differdange 03 and Dila Gori benefitted from.

 

For that reason, I hope we're heading to Greece.

Spot on, thats also the same gripe I have from my original post.

 

It's partly self inflicted (Scottish clubs, SFA/SPFL collectively) and partly the system being set up to shaft clubs that are smaller.

 

We have dropped 12 places in the rankings in the last decade, only Latvia (14) are worse in that time, across all of Europe.

[West Jambo]

I know it doesn't matter but with Sevilla winning last night we were 1 to spare in getting seeded for the 2nd round.

Salzburg also 1 up already in Austrian cup final so that could be 2 clear. Comfy in the end!!

Still no prospect of being anywhere near seeded for 3rd round no matter.

[YHD Jambo]

When is the draw taking place?

A wee trip to Dublin or Wales would be a great draw

Agreed and Man Unt in the group stages.

1st and 2nd round draw both on 20th June.

1st round ties: 30th June & 7th July

2nd round ties: 14th July & 21st July

[JyTees]

1st and 2nd round draw both on 20th June.

1st round ties: 30th June & 7th July

2nd round ties: 14th July & 21st July

Are we away first being seeded or does the draw determine that?

 

Going to Contalmaison for the anniversary so hopefully we're away on the 7th. Away to New York on the 19th as well so could do with that one being away first!

Does anybody know if thats the case for 3rd round too or does seeded team get home 2nd leg?

Good news everyone! Kosovo has been fast-tracked to UEFA membership so some of you could be heading to Kosovo next month, to either Pristina or Drita depending on who wins their cup final!

earlier in the thread someone mentioned (i think statto) that becuase we would be seeded in the second round our home leg would be second.

Think it is Dubai, been googling distances and it fits.

Why the hell is Omagh getting listed??

Unsure. Surely Lurgan is what was meant.

 

edit - can't choose Lurgan on that site. Lisburn or Belfast would have been closer choices.

Cardiff to Dubai is 3500 miles. Wherever he is is 4680 away from Cardiff

 

He could be in Afghanistan ?? EDIT Nope not far enough. India or possibly China I think

I assumed miles but your right it is kilometres

I was checking Glenavon, they're the only Northern Irish club confirmed as unseeded in the 1st round. Looks like I've confused Armagh and Omagh.
