On top of that Dundalk have started awfully this season, having lost against Shamrock Rovers 4-0 last weekend, sitting in mid-table with a 5w 2d 4l record. And this is a league which has only ever had 3 teams make it to the UEFA/EL group stage. They seem pretty awful and are probably the single worst team left in the competition.It's definitely cultural and a bit of border control - probably a moot point having a squad with players all over the world, but as I said my opinion was more on a first glance without much thought...apart from that the SSE Airtricity League is awful ? but I agree it won't make a big difference if we can keep our miles under 4 digits.
To get to the group stage they were given a very simple draw, beating and Andorran team 1-0 and a Faroese team trying to become the first ever team from the Faroe Islands to reach the Europa League group stage. The toughest team they beat was Sheriff, on penalties from Moldova, who are infrequent UEFA/EL group stage attendees (last time was in 2017), and if I recall we have played them before, but I wish had those three games!
