December 21, 200718 yr Author comment_7752 never mind i found it The draw for the UEFA Cup Rounds of 32 and 16 will be held at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland, on Friday from 13.00CET. The full list of clubs involved can be found by clicking here. Conditions of Round of 32 draw Clubs from the same national association cannot be drawn against each other. Group winners must be drawn against a third-ranked team from another group. Group runners-up must be drawn against one of the eight clubs joining the competition from the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Group winners and group runners-up will play their return-leg matches at home. Matches 1 to 8 For games 1 to 8 in the Round of 32, eight red balls containing the names of the third-ranked teams will be placed in a bowl. The first ball drawn from that bowl will be the home team of match 1. In accordance with the conditions of the draw, the computer will then show which group winners are eligible to play the third-ranked team of match 1. A bowl containing yellow balls will be prepared containing the names of the group winners that are eligible to be drawn against the third-ranked team of match 1. A ball will be drawn from this bowl to complete the pairing of match 1. The team drawn will be placed as the visiting team of match 1. This procedure will be repeated for the remaining matches 2 to 8. If the computer indicates that only one group winner can be drawn, there will be no draw. Matches 9 to 16 For games 9 to 16, eight red balls containing the names of the clubs joining the competition from the group stage of the UEFA Champions League will be placed in a bowl. A first ball will be drawn from this bowl and placed as the home team of match 9. The computer will then show which group runners-up are eligible to play the team joining the competition from the UEFA Champions League in match 9. A bowl containing yellow balls will be prepared containing the names of those runners-up and a ball will be drawn from this bowl to complete the pairing of match 9. The team drawn will be placed as the visiting team of match 9. This procedure will be repeated for the remaining matches 10 to 16. If the computer indicates that only one group runner-up can be drawn, there will be no draw. Round of 16 No teams will be seeded for the Round of 16, to be played on 6 and 12/13 March. The 16 green balls containing slips of paper for "winners of match 1" to "winners of match 16" will be placed in the large central bowl and shuffled. The first team drawn will play its first match at home against the second team drawn. The same procedure will then be repeated for the other Round of 16 matches. Reversals and changes of date for games in the two rounds will be announced in the auditorium at 14.15. Report

December 21, 200718 yr comment_7813 Awesome. I had a feeling that would be the tie. Its all set up for a great night at Pittodrie and a healthy pay day. Hope its not a 5pm kick off Good point, would make the bus up the road a bit of a challange! seem to remember the home tie against Hertha was 5pm KO? Good news is that since its Bayern the tie will be worth even more than if we drew one of the other German teams, couple of million in the bank if the club sell it right! Report
December 21, 200718 yr comment_7815 ... and not to get ahead of ourselves, it's Anderlecht or Bordeaux in the last 16. Report

Good news is that since its Bayern the tie will be worth even more than if we drew one of the other German teams, couple of million in the bank if the club sell it right! but if its 5pm we won't need a bus as trains coming back would be OK I think ?

December 21, 200718 yr comment_7817 but if its 5pm we won't need a bus as trains coming back would be OK I think ? I believe that would be a "football special". Report

December 21, 200718 yr comment_7819 Is the game definitely the 21st? Flights are shooting up. I wouldn't bank on it. May be some fuckery with fixtures as all German sides are at home on 21st I think Report
December 21, 200718 yr comment_7820 I've booked up on the assumption that the game will be on the 21st, waiting on booking the hotel just in case though. EDIT - Allowed to cancel hotel up to the 19th, so went ahead and booked it. InterCityHotel Muenchen. Report
December 21, 200718 yr comment_7821 I wouldn't bank on it. May be some fuckery with fixtures as all German sides are at home on 21st I think Munich's quite far away from Hamburg and Leverkusen/Dusseldorf, we should be fine on that front I'd hope. Report
December 21, 200718 yr comment_7822 If they change the dates then a lot of people (myself included) are going to be well out of pocket Report
