Euro Qualification

Fuck it, unless we win the cup I won't be seeing Europe, unless we win of course!

So third still leaves us with two qualifying rounds to go?

Not sure I fancy spending money to watch us get knocked out by some arse team in Tamalistan.

Yes, unless the huns win the cup in which case:

• Cup Losers gets you into the 2nd qualifying round, 1st leg 16th July, 2nd leg 23rd July
  
• 4th gets you into the 3rd qualifying round, 30th July/6th august
  
• 3rd gets you into the 4th qualifying round (final round before the groups), 20/27th August

• 3rd gets you into the 4th qualifying round (final round before the groups), 20/27th August
   
  

Ah, we'll just need to win the cup then.

Someone seems to ask about this every other day at the moment....maybe we should sticky this:

 

• 4th gets you into the 2nd qualifying round, 1st leg 16th July, 2nd leg 23rd July
  
• 3rd gets you into the 3rd qualifying round, 30th July/6th august
  
• Cup Winners gets you into the 4th qualifying round (final round before the groups), 20/27th August
  

Bugger this, surely we can still get 1st or 2nd in the League? 

Fingers crossed for 4th place

But i'll settle with 3rd or a cup win 

Does 3rd place not get straight into the group stages ?

On 26th Feb there was something in one of the papers saying "Uefa has confirmed that three Scottish teams will qualify for next season's inaugural Europa League - including either the Scottish Cup winners or runners-up with 3rd place in the SPL going straight into the Group Stages "

I'm sure I read that too. The path into the group stages was made easier by Rangers and Aberdeen's performance in the UEFA Cup last season and Ra Shellick in the Champions League in same season. Pretty sure that kicks in for the forthcoming European competitions.

I thought nobody went directly into the league.

C'mon GS, if you are going to provide us with a definitive guide to qualification can you at least make it clear

Does anyone from any league go directly into the group stages?

If you check the links in the original post it doesn't look like it.  I know this site isn't an official UEFA site but it is generally recognised as the most accurate site on the go about european competitions.

From the second link (http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/access2009.html) it would appear that the holders are the only ones that get straight into the group stage, the other teams coming from the 4th Qualifying Round (37 teams) and from the chumps league qualifying (10 teams)

4th gets you into the 2nd qualifying round, 1st leg 16th July, 2nd leg 23rd July

I'll keep the dates free! 

4th gets you into the 2nd qualifying round, 1st leg 16th July, 2nd leg 23rd July

Brilliant. Got an interview on the 15th July and the 22nd July. What are the chances of that.

About 2 in 365

But you should be ok, 4th place only gets into the second qualifying round if Falkirk win the Scottish Cup

Oh good. Rangers for the cup.

Feels dirty doesn't it.

Although bare in mind that if the scum beat Falkirk in the cup final (what ever that is) then, if I understand the rules correctly we would go into the 3rd qualifying round instead

Aye, forgot you'd already stated that in this thread when i read about it in the ScotonSun.  It confirms the 4th placed team would go into the 3rd qualifying round, 30th July/6th August.

At least we would start the season with proper competitive matches already played tho which cant be bad

Although we could also be out of Europe a la huns before the season starts right enough

Oh good. Rangers for the cup.

Yeah bad enough having to essentially want them to win the league next weekend

You don't have to word it that way, tlg1903.

You don't have to say you want Rangers to win. You can safely get away with simply saying "I want United to lose"

We are dammed if they do and dammed if they dont 

At least if the huns win and we win theres europe to look to and (equally importantly  ) i get 20 notes of an arab,  would ease the blow a bit

You get what you deserve, sadly we don't deserve any of the 6 available Europa league spots.

No, because if you finish ahead of someone on points but JC is manager you deserve fuck all.
