Pie Of The Month

The only thing I can see in our fixtures is 3 away games in a row but even by UEFA's own rules they only say they strive to respect the principle of a max 2 home or 2 away in a row, nothing about it being a definite rule that you can't have that.

Hopefully we get similar news soon.

Henry Winter is saying it's one group where they've messed something up but they won't say which one. Noel Mooney the Welsh FA chief exec saying they'll sort it out in reply to folk saying they've booked up so I've no idea if he means he thinks the fixtures will be fine in the end or they'll get people sorted with refunds or whatever.

Looks like I'll be watching us against someone else in Oslo in June then.

Just looking at random dates since the game is too far in the future and Georgia away flights look a bit pricier than last time round.

Norway away booked up. Norwegian Air direct flights to Oslo were still fairly reasonable after the fixtures were announced.

I think those fixtures are as good as they could be to be honest.

Both Irelands have just published their fixtures so can't imagine it'll be too long

Initially it's left to the nations to make bilateral agreements and these should be done by 17th January 2023. If there's teams left without agreements then UEFA will step in and assist in trying to match teams up and they've come up with some rules about priority being given to choices for nations based on the Nations League performance. If you're interested in all the details it's in UEFA's procedures for this draw which should be here - https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0279-1638222ffafe-cdec4a8fa10b-1000/20220928_circular_2022_67_en.zip

Let's try this. Which European competition do you think Man Utd are in this season?

No one can be this stupid.

They might very well be in the squad but none of them are playing in the Champions League for Lennon like you claimed.

Nope the answer is still zero.

Zero.

Latvia are also Turkey's 'Georgia' with Turkey only beating them twice in 7 attempts. On the Kebab and Efes forum their fans won't be happy at their draw.

UEFA say today.

Northern Ireland's draw shows exactly why we should've just dropped down to pot 5.

Just need to hope we don't get Georgia away in June. The heat and our recent June form would give me the fear. From away trips point of view Spain will do their usual and not announce the stadium until they have to meaning there's not much point booking anything, Norway will be pricey, Georgia is a bit of a c**t to get to and Cyprus is a bit meh.

We couldn't have got Kazakhstan due to the extreme distance pairings as we already had Spain and they can only get 1 team that far away from them.

There'll be an overreaction about Norway but even with Haaland they've drastically underperformed and are probably now the new Scotland of Europe.

This is an improvement on FIFA getting Jermaine Jenas to do the World Cup draw to be fair.

Normally I'd be against highlights of the last Euros dragging this out but the ending of this will be worth it.

Standard UEFA draw with the arse ripped out of it going by the first few minutes already including some German singer.

Sportsound reading out a statement from McCall apologising for his comments last night. I'd rather he doubled down on making a c**t of himself tbqh.
