I can't see Man Utd anywhere

Ta.

Is there always a 4th qualifying round?

I know, I could google this shit.

[stealthpapes]

Has there always been? No.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Will there always be?

Not sure if you're being serious here or not......

I wasn't talking to you, I was contemplating the meaning of life.

... loved the bit :-

The club plays its home games at Stadiumi Skënderbeu which is one of the largest stadiums in the country, with a seating capacity of over 10,000.

Motto: Korça ku dua të jetoj ("Korçë, where I want to live")

...then again isn't their national sport Frog Trampling or summat?

... they were dancing on the streets of Korce last night.... sorry! - Korçë/Gorica/Görice/Goritsa/Koritsá

So, we're going to use this thread to take the piss out of a country with 3 million inhabitants, that has suffered its last civil war less than 20 years ago, one of the poorest in Europe ... because one of its largest stadiums has seating capacity of only 10,000?

Question. What's the seating capacity of the Republic of Ireland's largest football stadium (not Rugby or Gaelic Football)?

[Starfish]

Anyway, staying with the RoI, St. Patrick's Athletic drew 1-1 away to Legia Warsaw in the first leg of their tie last night, conceding the equalizer in injury time. They'll lose 1-3 in the home tie
