Here we go again. Europeans elite sides meet up in July with the draw for the first and second rounds taking place on Monday.
We're seeded for the first round so have the prospect of trips to some cracking places:
Estonia - Nomme Kalju Estonia - Flora Tallinn Latvia - Skonto Faroe Islands - Vikingur Gta Norway - Odd Northern Ireland - Glentoran Finland - VPS Estonia - Sillamae Kalev Finland - SJK
Finland - Lahti Iceland - Vikingur Reykjavik
Latvia - Jelgava Faroe Islands - NSI Runavik Lithuania - Atlantas Northern Ireland - Glenavon Republic of Ireland - Cork City Republic of Ireland - UCD Lithuania - Kruoja Pakruojis
San Marino - La Fiorita Wales - Airbus UK Broughton Lithuania - Trakai Latvia - Spartaks Jrmala Wales - Bala Town Wales - Newtown
Should we tackle the first round we'll be unseeded for the 2nd round which brings in potential opponents of West Ham, Copenhagen, PAOK, Trabzonspor, Legia, Rosenborg etc.

I hate to sound like an ungrateful bastard or a snob rehrehreh but if we don't field 90% youth players in this tournament I hope we lose as early as possible
I've tried sticking up for this competition every year but I'm fucking done with it now. I don't care if the winner gets in to the Champions League there's four other routes into it from the league. Fucks us up every pissing year, prestige has long, long gone from the days we won it,there's too many games, too many fucking routes into it. How can a competition be worth anything when West Ham hve qualified by virtue of fouling less than the other teams in the league, have a fucking day off.

Well we got Macedonian side Shkendija...and I'm booked! A week tomorrow I'll be on a nice 3hr Wizz Air flight from Luton to Skopje where apparently this side play their European games. Meant o have a bit of a mental support but so were a few teams we've played abroad. Away to watch Aberdeen play here Should we win we go to Rijeka in Croatia who'll be a much tougher opponent, but in a much nicer city.

I always thoroughly enjoy reading about OOTER's summer adventures. Rijeka would be a lovely spot for an away day and a few extra days as well, I was actually just planning a Croatia holiday for next spring.

Having looked at the Europa League results, it appears Scottish teams are still shit. Irish teams did okay. Welsh team beat my beloved Maltese. Fuck you Phil.

Aberdeen scrape through on away goals after a 0-0 draw at home. St Johnstone are out against Alashkert on away goals.... SPL LOL West Ham won 1-0 away, Sakho was sent off after 14 minutes.
onto the next round!

Well thank fuck for that. We really didn't get going and it was all a bit shaky at the end. But we're through and that's whats important. Off to play a much tougher opponent in Rijeka next week...and I'm booked! Fucking love the Europa League. Off via France and Slovenia to watch the Dons play in Croatia here:
