There won't be an extra UEFA cup place, why do you think that?

Bohdizaffa · 14th May 2008, 03:11 PM

Rangers to win 1-0 Nacho to score, thats my bet33/1,

RiseAgainst · 14th May 2008, 03:13 PM

In years gone by, a side winning a competition has been granted entry into the next years tournament regardless of league position.

I know there was some uproar about Liverpool doing it a few years ago as Champions League places are pre-allocated, is that now the same in the UEFA cup?

*EDIT*

havent found anything concrete online, this website has a bit under the mid-table winners segment

They only qualify again if they didn't qualify for any other competition i.e. that mid-table bit is about clubs who finished low down the league and so they got into it again. Rangers will qualify for Champ's League and it all goes down to the co-efficient/inter-toto/champ's league qualifier losers thing, a Scottish club doesn't get the place.

Liverpool didn't qualify for the Champ's League domestically when they won the big cup but got a wildcard into the competition so there were 5 English teams.

That's a pretty good bet at 33-1 to be fair.

Bit of mixed info i think i got there then, interestingly, who is Scotland's inter-toto team?

PeteRoe · 14th May 2008, 03:27 PM

he probably wont be starting though thats the thing but it is a popular bet.

I was gonna do Darche at 35-1 with him scoring first and gers winning 1-0 but i remembered when i bet on the Gers, we fuck it up.

So now I am just drinking myself into a stupor and getting primed and ready for the final.

MON THE TEDDY BEARS!

FOR THERE'S NOT A TEAM LIKE GLASGOW RANGERS, NO NOT ONE AND THERE NEVER SHALL BE ONE!

Bohdizaffa · 14th May 2008, 03:27 PM

i put 3 bets on 1-0 gers, nacho to score, same score with boyd scoring also 33/1 and zenit to win 3-1 20/1,

I think it's only Hibs who've declared an interest to even enter it so them, as far as I know.

PeteRoe · 14th May 2008, 03:41 PM

I think your right

it is a pain in the arse for teams as it starts so early and can be troublesome for a teams season starting so early.

It brings the revenue in though once you get going however.

Shocked it seems only Hibs are wanting in.

RiseAgainst · 14th May 2008, 04:15 PM

Hibs have done it a few times now havent they?

it SHOULD read "for there's not a team like the Glasgow Rangers"

as there is no such team as Glasgow Rangers.

Rosco the Bosco · 14th May 2008, 08:38 PM

lol. imagine they went and fucked the league up now as well.

Johnny5 · 14th May 2008, 08:43 PM

I just think the game was there for the taking tonight. They had their top scorer out and if Rangers had gone out and tried to get at them then they maybe could've got the goal and THEN defended. Zenit weren't playing their best.

But no, playing for penalties again and they got shown up.

Might've had a little bit of respect if they'd treated it like a final but they can go fuck themselves. A victory for football.
