City for Europe?

[applehunter]

In his column yesterday in "The Star" Pat Dolan said that Cork City have a 11/2 chance of coming out of the hat.

Spillane is this true?

[eoinh]

the odds are a small bit better and its for the UEFA Cup.

[yiddo]

When is the draw taking place ?

[Neil]

June 20 I heard...

And it's 2 teams from 10 I think

[eoinh]

The uefa cup draw is on the 20th but the fair play draw is before that as all club representatives have to be at the draw. Ild say its this week or very early next week.

Heres hoping :)

[patsh]

The fair play draw is tomorrow, June 3rd, isn't it?
There was a piece on football365 about Man City knowing tomorrow if there are in the competition.

[joe]

more from FAI.ie (http://www.fai.ie/FAI/Welcome+to+the+FAI%21.htm)

[patsh]

So it's to be drawn on Friday, with 9 teams in the hat for two places, odds of 9/2 or 4.5/1.
You never know..............:p

That'd be 3.5/1.

explain please???

10/2 = 5/1
8/2 = 4/1
6/2 = 3/1
4/2 = 2/1
2/2 = 1/1 = EVENS

going by that : 9/2 = 4.5/1

[Schumi]

Yes but 9/2 doesn't mean two chances out of nine. It means two chances out of eleven: two successes for every nine failures.

[NorthoftheLee]

i know that

2 wins and 9 fails from 11 chances compares with 1 win and 4.5 fails from 5.5 chances ....

1 win and 3.5 fails from 5.5 chances doesn't go.

[Trax]

I hope none of you lot are sitting the maths Leaving Paper this week........................

[James]

jeeze and i was just trying to post a cheap yet slightly humerous gag :rolleyes:

[NorthoftheLee]

and i was just trying to stand up for ya against the "student"??:rolleyes: :)

[pete]

Wouldn't that be 9/1 chance for the first uefa cup spot & 8/1 for the second allocation? ;)

[NorthoftheLee]

don't get me started on that one! :D :D :confused:

[Schumi]

Just to point out, there are 9 teams who can get the two places (uefa (http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/News/Kind=1/newsId=72673.html)) and I'm right about the odds. ;)

[NorthoftheLee]

just read it myself
would rather qualify on merit,not some stupid draw

[hoofball]

Agree alright, but europe would have been europe and all that....

[eoinh]

im devestated personally. There was some great ties we could have got, all the "out of the way" places were non-seeded so we wouldnt have got any of them as we would have been non-seeded as well. Its not like the champions league in the first round.

Gutted
