League of Ireland in Europe 2015

[Real ale Madrid]

Next update is April 30th. Won't know until then. Nowhere tracks it

The cldraw spreadsheet is after disappearing - have you seen / heard of a replacement?

It's here but without the easy URL

No, Longfordian, it means we keep the pitch. After all, how else would we get our hands on €550,000 (and maybe €1.2 million)...you don't think it was because we were the best team in the League.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

If Dundalk win their first tie and lose the rest they'll get the following

CL Rd 2 - €300k
CL Rd 3 - €400k
EL Play off - €230k
Payment for not reaching CL groups - €250k

So lose first tie get €550k
win first tie get € 1.18 million

I didn't think you got the 300k for round 2 AND 400k for round 3 for making it to round 3. (I could be wrong) But that'd still be 400+230+250 = 880k for making it through one round

[seand]

So, does this mean that a team that advances to CL3 and loses, then moves to the EL Play-offs.

Yes. Win one round and you're guaranteed four more games. That was Shamrock Rovers route in 2011... beat Flora CL2, lost Copenhagen CL3, beat Partizan EL playoff

[White Horse]

Might even be able to pay for a new pitch.

We have to replace the pitch for next season so the timing of the increased prize money is great.

This is a purple patch for Dundalk and as the Sligo lads know it doesn't last forever.

Hopefully the club will put the money towards improving Oriel Park and creating a legacy that will last for many years.

Mad to see the Welsh Saints almost seeded in the 2nd QR - that would have been some draw (unless you're a Longford fan).

Do UCD still have a chance of getting into the Europa qualifiers do anyone know? Haven't heard anything about it in ages.

What Dodge said, but just to add that on the Bert Kassies site, there's a list of previous years' Intermediate Rankings (which is what Ireland head at the moment) and the final qualifiers. Generally, it's been the three countries at the top of the Intermediate Rankings that have qualified in the end.

They have the same coefficient as the 17th place team. I wonder how that will work will it be drawing lots to see who is seeded? Would be a fantastic draw for Dundalk with a serious chance of progression and easy trip for fans also

Twas Bohs who lost to TNS, Ted.

They'll just upgrade to luxury sea salt and cracked pepper crisps.

[Longfordian]

Probably Dr Pepper or some fancy **** like that for minerals too.

Twas Bohs who lost to TNS, Ted.

Meh! Bohs or Longford look the same to me in my memory, must be the black and red striped jerseys that welsh clubs enjoyed beating. But I will correct myself to Carmarthen, was it 5-1 or 5-0 that loss?

2-0 at home, 1-5 capitulation away, it's alright, I'm over it by now, keep fishing.

[Longfordian]

I'm bloody well not. Tenth anniversary this year. Must be my lowest single moment following LTFC. Even relegation didn't hurt as much.

Promotion has helped me wipe all the negative bullplop from my former Town supporting life, in saying that, I'd argue the Derry match when someone said that Rovers had scored in the last minute was a pretty horrible experience, much worse than anything the Welsh could throw at us. Sitting in the rain v Cork when we knew we were going to lose the final, and everything else with it, was also much worse..

Look what you've done now, ruined all my progress!

[Longfordian]

We're going off topic but I'll just say that in hindsight though relegation was a blessing in disguise as there was no way we could have afforded to field a Premier Division side for the next few years without bankrupting the club.

[Nesta99]

Sorry Longford fans!

[seand]

Don't think TNS will have enough to be seeded this season but it'll be close. I can't see that spreadsheet but I think their 5.575 will be surpassed by 17 others.

Belarus, Croatia, Swe, Fin, Nor, Georgia, Den, Serbia, Azerb [9 teams] already quailfied and higher coef or those teams that can possibly win their league have higher coef. Rom, Bul, Pol, Scot, Israel, Cyprus almost certainly brings it up to 15. I'd expect at least another 2 from Hungary Slovakia Slovenia Moldova Bosnia but it only takes one or two surprise league champions for them to sneak into the seeds.
