The things you learn on the Malmo website

Don't forget that City might still get a place in the UEFA cup via the fair play places.

The draw is next Tuesday 8th June. 2 countries from 12 (including Ireland) will be picked and get an extra UEFA Cup spot.

City will be Ireland's representatives if we are picked.

Sverige 8,296
2 Danmark 8,277

Wouldnt it be great to see a Kazachstanian(?) team in the Uefa Cup!

[eoinh]

they became members of UEFA the season before last. they had teams in last years uefa cup and champions league qualifiers.

their national team is in the european section of the wc qualifiers. they changed over from the asian confederation.


a small bit of kazakhstan is in europe. bohs could meet a team from there in the uefa cup. what bohs fan would fancy a trip to th gobi desert :D

[Hecko]

mightn't have much of a football tradition but the Kazakh are deadly cyclist though...Wouldn't it be great to think of Ray treacy and the Scum stuck out there for a few weeks :p

Out of curiosity on what site did you get the up to date list?

The Fair Play points system seems complicated. Surely since no Irish national team or clubs have competitive games between now and the Fair Play draw we should be ok to be in the draw.

I think that once a country's Fair Play score is over 8 it is in the draw, unless they have limited the number of countries.

[eoinh]

i think it includes friendlies as well so Irelands match against Jamaica would count. Anyway seehere (http://www.myjavaserver.com/~kassiesa/forum/view.php?topic=20040504103138.txt). Go to the bottom for the most up to date news

:confused:

i'm not sure what I want to happen.
i think I would fancy the UEFA
Malmo isn't the kindest draw to us for the inter-toto (as they play a summer league too to start with).

[Sheridan]

Good luck in the draw! I shall have my fingers crossed for you on June 8th.

Those Andorrans are always fierce dirty :D

If we get a UEFA place we could up end somewhere like Ukraine or Kazakstan plus it would mess up travel arrangements for those going to Malmo.

Malmo is a convenient draw for fans (the result is a idfferent matter).

I'd say better the devil you know.

PS Has anyone told St Pats they have a 2 in 11 chance of playing in the Inter toto?

I also don't think those people who already had to change flight details but fancy doing it again.

[tiktok]

no need to change anything, St.Pat's will be playing there and in need of support if we go to UEFA ;)

very true, pats fans wont be able to get flights seeing as we probably have most of them booked

dont worry dodge,we will shout loud for pats in malmo if it turns out that way :)

actually, on that, would it cost much to transfer flights to a new name, might be a way for city fans to recoup some of the expense if they don't want to travel

[Peadar]

St.Pat's will be playing there

But where will St. Pats play their "Home" game?
They have been awarded an 'A' Licence provided they use an alternative licensed stadium for European games.

as the original draw was for malmo to be at home first, I wonder will pats be as obliging at city to malmo's request for a switch........it could end up being a non football weekend all together... :(
