Not on topic, but Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar have made the
group stages of the ECL - that is a tremendous achievement and
is hopefully something the Irish League clubs can emulate soon.

Linfield and probably the Glens could have done a lot better
this season. Larne did very well but were never going to go
through against pacos. maybe the full time status will make the
difference in the long term but I do think some of the club's
have underachieved in the last few seasons

Everyone apart from Cliftonville I think will be happy with
their draw I reckon . Cliftonvilles looks tricky enough although
I thought linfield got a good draw last year and then we were
shite so can't take anything for granted

Linfield, Larne and Crusaders should be progressing past those
opponents.
Cliftonville will be doing well to get a result against DAC, who
seem to have players with experience playing across in decent
european leagues.

Linfield certainly got the best possible draw of the 5 possible
opponents, but winning is definitely not a forgone conclusion.

Linfield should underestimate TNS at their peril, I know that
the Cymru Premier is not a good standard, but TNS absolutely
romped it last season, with just 2 defeats in 32 games, gaining
80 points to leave them 21 points ahead of Bala Town in second,
and with a whopping goal difference of +60:

In fact they really dominate their league, for since the 2001–02
season they have finished as champions or runners-up in every
season apart from 2008 to 2009, where they finished third.
And last season they had a great run in Europe, beating Zelina
of Slovakia in the Europa Lge, before losinng on penalties away
to B36 (Faroes). This meant they dropped down to the Europa
Conference, where they beat Glentoran 3-1 on aggregate over 2
legs; beat Kauna (Lithuania) 10-1 on aggregate in the next
round, before being edged out on penalties by Plzen (Czech Rep),
after drawing 5-5 on aggreagate.
Those 8 games in Europe must have brought them in a big pot of
money.

TNS/Linfield v Bodo/Glimt or Klaksvik
Tough draw as presumably it will be Bodo/Glimt getting through.
Víkingur (FRO) / Europa (GIB) vs Dunajská Streda (SVK) /
Cliftonville (NIR)
Larne (NIR) / St Joseph's (GIB) vs Slavia Praha (CZE)
Basel (SUI) vs Magpies (GIB) / Crusaders (NIR)
Tough Draws in the Conference League. If Cliftonville can beat
DAC, then they probably have a good chance of progress.

You're combining 2 seasons and coming up with a load of nonsense
that wouldn't even be possible.
TNS weren't in the Europa league in 2021-2022. They knocked the
Gurns out in the 1st qualifying round of the Europa Conference.
Connah's Quay won the league 2020-2021, taking the 2021-2022 CL
spot.
The Europa League games were in 2020-2021 and the Conference
didn't exist then.
