Uncle Buck Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 7 minutes ago, JimmyCant said: Cool. So briefly they are playing QR2 this week and next. The winners go to QR3. Some bigger clubs are automatically in QR3. The 10 winners in QR3 go to the next stage of the CL. The 10 losers go to the EL play off. it is highly likely that we’ll draw one if those QR3 losers in our play off, although there another 2 clubs who qualify for that play off, into the same list we’ll get drawn against through a slightly different route. So the bottom line is there will be 12 possible clubs we could get drawn against by the time these qualifiers are sorted out in the next few weeks Thank you. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It's looking highly unlikely we are getting the dream Europa League qualifier against Hibernians then, unless Shamrock Rovers have a Hibs-playoff-esque implosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fixtures are QR1 and will be completed next week. As I mentioned 15 teams in the list will drop out this round to the conference league. In QR2, ties July 19/20th and 26/27th, 20 ties will take place. The 10 losers of these QR2 ties will drop into Europa League QR3 and play each other in 5 ties. The 5 winners of the Europa League QR3, ties played August 4th and 11th, are some of the possible opponents for Hearts. The other possible opponents will come from the 6 teams at top of the list I attached earlier. I'll delete possible playoff opponents from the list after each round of ties.

Since when were Kazakhstan or Azerbaijan European countries? Might as well just combine the UEFA stuff with Asia and make a Eurasian club competition with the top Japanese, Korean and Middle Eastern clubs. Worked in Kazakhstan a few years ago and went for a run from the European side across the Ural river to the Asian side and back. So at least part of it is in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they thought about switching in the first place though, they are not a terrible team (although not very good), but they must have stood a better chance of qualifying for World Cups if they had stayed in qualifying groups containing the likes of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, than they do currently, which is ****ing no chance They probably wanted to get better, by playing against the best.

Based on last nights results its now more than likely Ludogorets Razgrad will play Shamrock Rovers and surely see them off meaning Shamrock would drop to Europa QR3, one round away from potentially facing us.

The Hogfather Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The teams eliminated from this round of Champions League qualifiers go into the Conference League qualifiers so we’ve no reason to consider them at this point. The teams eliminated from the next round of Champions League qualifiers go into the 3rd round of Europa League playoffs. We enter at the play off round.

Gorgie_Rules Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) My understanding from Wikipedia is that on Monday 18th of July we will know of the 12 teams we could potentially face, two of this 12 will definitely include Partizan Belgrade of Serbia of Slovacko of Czech Republic. On the 2nd of August we will know the tie we are going to face, the 2 teams will have to play each other twice and we won’t know for definite which one we will play until 11th August, 1 week before our first tie on the 18th. If my understanding is correct and with the short timescales involved, i can’t see us taking a fairly big crowd to the Europa League play off, especially with many happy to wait until the guaranteed group games.

The Hogfather Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 So these teams dropped out of the reckoning tonight (with another few to come tomorrow); Lech Poznan Lincoln Red Imps RFS Riga Balkani Zrinjski Mostar Hibernians KF Tirana Sutjeska Niksic Vikingur Reykjavik They could possibly qualify for the Conference League groups but based on their likely seeding, it's doubtful we'd be paired up with any of them. KL Klaksvik likely to go out tomorrow too, they're 3-0 down against Bodo Glimt from the first leg, plenty to play for in every other tie.

Harsh on supporters giving 6 days notice of booking flights etc. The previous round is played on the 4th and 11th. All they can really do is tell us we're playing the winner of X v Y, and whether we'll be home or away first (even that will almost certainly be subject to possible change). We'll have to wait until the 2nd legs have been played on the 11th to be sure who we're even playing! If the first leg gives one team a big lead, I'm sure some fans will gamble on that team going on to win, and our tie not getting switched around, and will book travel accordingly, but they'll be taking a risk!
