Let it be Litex , Litex would be worst seeded team. They are well beatable. Austria Vienna would be an ok draw also. Any of the others and Derry are out for sure:(

Norwegian side decent side. Similar standard to IK Start whom Drogheda beat last night. Hope they give Rangers a good hiding.

Derry got a very tough draw. No team in the world would consider PSG an easy draw. French football is classy and I cannot see Derry progress. Id rather play one of the english sides than this. Bye Bye Derry Im afraid. They did well to get this far anyway.

Spurs get Slavia Prague. Away first leg.

Start get Ajax.

MrJoeSoap

Anyone know if the first game is at home for Derry. If its not you can fly out the day of the game and home the next evening for €47 including tax, from Dublin - Beauvais, if its on the 28th its a bit more expensive, around €77.

Possibly not? Sparta were drawn at home against Hearts for the 1st leg as well, will UEFA allow both ties to be played the same week?

If they will, one of the games will have to be moved to a Tuesday or Wednesday.

Was in Parc about 11 years ago great place for agames but filthy and doubt its changed much.


Canal + own PSG so it will be on tv Everyone s beatable and Derry have to beat them at home to 0 and score away. They are good enough to be on the pitch with them so good enough to beat them.

West Ham v Palermo
Not the easiest but then, not the toughest either (by a long way)
Hammers should progress

It looks like 1st leg will be away from home with 2nd leg at the Brandywell. Kenny is no fool and he knows the only hope is to shock them them away from home and hold them at the Brandywell. If anyone can Kenny can but I still think they will get well beaten. French footbal is stronger all round than English. It is much more skilful. The good news is that Ronaldino doesn't play for them anymore - the last time he played in the Bandywell he scored a few and his team won 7-0

MrJoeSoap

Paris leg is looking like being on the 14th now alright.

"Before City fans dive to book flights to Paris, DCFC Online has spoken to Jim Roddy and there is a chance the tie may be switched.

Fans are asked to hold off booking for an hour until confirmation is announced."

jaysis, it'd be great if they beat em

Come on derry!

BBC website seem to be indicating Derry are playing at home in the first leg.

Home could well be Windsor Park as it's been offered to them.

Hearts also to play 1st leg at home according to them.

They were drawn at home in the first leg but are apparently trying to get it changed. Thats according to the official site.

Hope the first leg is at home as I'll be out of Paris and in San Francisco for the first leg !

Time to dig up my PSG top

[Jackass]

Tough draw Derry, but nothing would suprise me this season if they go through..These lads are nearly the perfect draw though as they're a big name yet beatable. Hope the game stays in Brandywell and if it has to be moved, hope it's to Windsor...it's too much of a neutral ground in Lansdowne if so many have to travel.

I see the PSG Coach has gone to great lengths to make friendly relations with the Derry City people.
