Some finish to the Danish title today, confiming that two of their sides won't be playing us.
Tromso and Elfsborg are now possible opponents, though, for old time's sake.

That's us definitely seeded now. List of possible opponents now down to the following, with ten more still to be added to the list as more qualify and/or have their seedings confirmed.
Teams with a * have still to play a 1st round fixture, so it'll either be them or the team who beats them in the 1st round who joins this list. Teams with &1 have a Europa League qualifier to play and it's the loser of that tie who will join this list.

That's us definitely seeded for the European draw after the way things have unfolded today, which takes some clubs of decent pedigree (AEK Athens, Cluj, Astana, Istanbul Basaksehir, etc) off the table as potential opponents.

Ditched this for the FA Cup at half time, but thanks to that late goal I've found out who the quiet guy next door supports.

Jonathan Sutherland's swagger and pint sized, kids clothing section physique would make him ideally suited to refereeing.

Has to be room for guitarless Kurt's scream during the encore of Drain You on Nulle Part Ailleurs on French telly.
The set is nice snapshopt in time, just before their demise, playing it fairly straight, while dressed as waiters and introduced by none other than Antione de Caunes of Eurotrash.

I notice Austria split into a top and bottom six after 22 games, then you play home and away against the teams in your half.
Curiously, their last European spot is decided by a play-off between the top two in the bottom six and the 5th place team. The team finishing bottom of the top six gets BFH. Can finish 8th and sneak into Europe with a run of form at the right time.
Also means no one in the bottom six will be downing tools.

Think Aberdeen get the 2.15m - they got more points, after all.
Think they've still got a few games in hand, to be fair.

Watching that scrap that broke out.
Looks like Dylan Forrest is a man you want on your side when something kicks off.

Right. Now the dust has settled.
I know that there were some of our own support who were sceptical when Tony Fitzpatrick said our aim was top six and European football.
However, I think it's time to call out the fannies from other teams and the pundits in the media that pointed and laughed at him.
GIRUY!
Not to mention Alan Stubbs, who said as much while stopping slightly short of naming Tony.

Prepared to be corrected here. I just heard Pat Bonner saying he watched Lawrence Shankland while he was at Ayr, and he went told Ayr manager Dougie Imrie how great Shankland was. Did I miss Dougie's stint managing Ayr?

Seeding doesn't affect if you're home or away first.
As far as I understand it, there's a mini draw beforehand where you'll get separated into a group of ten (five seeds and five non seeds), so with five possible opponents.
There's a draw to decide who is playing who (Team 1 v Team 6, etc) and those pairings apply to all of the mini groups of ten.
Home and away order for the ties comes from another draw.
Here's a bit of last year's procedure: https://kassiesa.net/uefa/news/template.html?20230621b
The 90 teams (59 that enter the competition at this stage and the 31 winners of the first qualifying round ties) were divided into nine groups of 10 teams. Within each of the nine groups, the teams were divided into an equal number of seeded and unseeded teams (45 seeded teams and 45 unseeded teams in total). Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. If any club in a first qualifying round match had a coefficient that would entitle it to be seeded for the second qualifying round draw, the winner of that match was automatically seeded for the draw. Draw procedure All the clubs in each of the nine groups were randomly assigned a number: 1 to 5 for the seeded teams and 6 to 10 for the unseeded teams. Three bowls were prepared for the draw, with the balls containing the numbers for the seeded and unseeded teams for Groups 1-5 placed in the correspondingly marked bowls. One ball was taken from each of those bowls and placed in the third empty central bowl, where they were shuffled. The number shown from first ball drawn from this bowl indicated the home teams of the first pairing of all nine groups, and they were set to play against the teams indicated by the number of the ball drawn second from this bowl. For example, if the first ball drawn contained the number 2 and the second the number 8, the clubs that have been assigned the numbers 2 and 8 in each of the nine groups would play each other. The first ball drawn, here containing the number 2, designated the home team for the first leg in all nine ties. The same procedure was carried out with the remaining balls to complete the pairings.

Not to be outdone, Neil Kinnock turned up at the 1990 final, flanked by Donald Dewar.
I was there on a freebie and he put a giant autograph on the front of my match programme.

Your coeffecient is 7.210, so as it stands you're predicted to be seeded but it depends on who else qualifies.
Earlier, I was sadly going through all the permutations in the countries where the qualified teams aren't decided yet.
I noted that I'll be cheering for Zimbru to hold off Sheriff on the last day of the season in Moldova to help the seeding, amongst other obscurities.

I would have thought Tromso would be unlikely to be in our half of the draw, but Elfsborg probably will.

Thank f**k. The post match celebrations at Dens the other week were eerily reminiscent of that time the Dunfermline players were literally doing cartwheels on the park at Love Street shortly before they ended up getting relegated anyway.
At least I haven't wasted my time getting familiar with how all the seeding and stuff works.

That's awoken Kenny Miller's 'Spud at the job interview' persona.

I remember watching a HibsTV stream where the commentators were rubbing their hands at the prospect of Gogic lining up at centre half against them.

One of the highlights of this season has been Dons fans infesting the St Mirren threads - going out of their way to point out how obsessed we all are with them.
A subset of whom are actually above it all, and don't get involved in any of that repetitive, parochial, petty stuff in their own minds.
Just giving us the benefit of their considerable wisdom as they reflect upon it all, without actually taking part and being partially culpable for it, of course.

Any word about the likelihood of away tickets being on sale at the ground tomorrow?
