Is there 4 qualifying rounds now @mickee321 or how does it work?

prelim round - 14 teams (no LOI at this level)
1st qualifying - LOI entered - only Dk survived
2nd qualifying - this week - Dk v AEK
3rd qualifying - see above - cork city back in
Play off
Groups

@Julio_Geordio
The losers from the CL qualifiers also enter this at the next round, they tho stick to their own path
so that is why cork city will play losers of celtic rosenburg

Has it been drawn to see who Dundalk play if they get past the Cypriot crowd?

Cheers. Is this a new thing? Seems more complicated than before or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention the last few years

no we are now waiting
it will be either the winners of

1 Ajax (NED) v Sturm Graz (AUT)
2 Maccabi Tel-Aviv (ISR) v Radnicki Niš (SRB)
3 HNK Rijeka (CRO)

and we all know they faced ZSP and MTA in the 2016/17 Groups

we’re away

" we will use for this draw a computer system…"

fascinating intro speech here

scenes

Dundalk face the winners of Ajax or Sturm Graz in the Europa League third round, if they beat AEK Larnaca in the second round

Ajax were probably the worst draw they could get in one way, but at least they should get a crowd for it and get a payday. Better than losing to a no mark team and getting nothing out of it.

Ajax have a right good hoolie mob .
