CynicalSaintee Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'd love any team in central/western Europe so long as they're beatable and we have a chance to progress. Dr Christmas Jones and fergiefootball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibbydoo Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 For the 2nd year in a row im hoping we draw the Swiss team, looks like Thon, Sion or Young Boys at this stage. All within a few hours drive of me and could accommodate a few Saintees pals here before and after the famous away victory! If not, maybe we'll get a Swiss team next year instead! ;-) Dr Christmas Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewhite4 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I see theres 3 teams from Belarus all seeded..QUESTION are teams from the same country allowed to be drawn out together? ........................ From http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/seedel2013.html Although the regulations no longer require the use of regional groups (as used before 2009), UEFA still uses some kind of regionalization in EL-Q1. At first the clubs are divided into seeded and unseeded teams, and then the seeded and unseeded teams are split into regional groups. The general approach seems to use the North/Central/South scheme, but no specific rules are known. A computer system is used to prepare the groups such that teams of the same association are not in the same group and and that all groups are about equal strength (in terms of ranking). Then all clubs in each group are ordered randomly and identified by a number. For these draws there are only two bowls with numbered balls, one with the seeded numbers and one with the unseeded numbers. The draw determines the pairs in the groups: e.g. (7 vs 5) which means that the 7th team of each group plays against the 4th club of each group. For the draw of the 1st round the 74 teams are divided into 5 groups of 10 teams and 2 groups of 12 teams. Unseeded teams in the 1st qualifying round that qualify for the next round take effectively the coefficient of their opponent in the next round. The reason for this is that the draw for the 2nd qualifying round is made before the results of the 1st qualifying round are known. For the draw of the 2nd round the 80 teams are divided into 8 groups. The pairs (10 vs 5), (1 vs 8), (3 vs 9), (4 vs 6), and (7 vs 2) were drawn (see Q1 draw for an explanation). .................. So it seems for round 2, that teams from the same country could be drawn out together although the draw is done so oddly and without clear published rules that no one seems to be 100% sure. Although if teems are seeded then they won't be drawn together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calloway 262 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 We could also face any of the 3 seeded teams from Romania - their league finishes on Sunday, but all potential opponents will be seeded given their national co-efficient. Our potential Czech opponent will be Sparta Prague or Viktoria Plzen depending on who finishes runners-up this week in the final round of league fixtures.

PerthSeany Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I'm pretty sure until the last 16 round teams from the same country cannot be drawn together?I could be wrong but thats what i've always thought Edited May 28, 2013 by PerthSeany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sainteesean Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Realistically and theoretically, the best draw for us in hope of qualification would be Debreceni of Hungary, who are no great shakes going by their European record but would guarantee us to be seeded in the next round if we won, meaning that we would be favorites to get into the play off. Which would be against a "big team" and a huge game, with a win getting us into the groups. Born2Bru and The ghost of Jim Morton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergiefootball Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 We can dream haha but being honest ESES weren't that great considering the budget they had,,saints were really unlucky in the first game I felt and on another day with a wee bit of luck we could have sneaked it. Lets live the dream we may never get another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
