Prize money involves winning, so is irrelevent :)Quote:

Technially yes, although in 75/76 and 81/82, we got 2 points, in 72/73 and 78/79, we got 2.333 points and in 79/80 we got 2.666. However, rankings weren't done then - the Bert Kassies site has calculated ratings going back to the start, though. However, all rounds have been treated as full rounds (i.e. double points - in '79/80, we got two wins and four draws), so this year is potentially our best year ever for results in Europe (excluding the InterToto).Quote:

you may be right on the first point, but I can't see how the development of Longford would have been halted by drawing Gent and Malmo instead of the teams they did draw.Quote:

By the way, if CCFC do manage to beat Djurgardens at home who will they go on to play in the first round proper ? And are the co-efficents different for winning and drawing ? cheers
yes and yes
Lads. I'm just so delighted with tonights result. A little bit disappionted that we didn't hold on for the win, but I would of gladly taken this result before kick off. :) I can't wait for the 2nd leg. More importantly we have Shels on Monday which is going to be the biggest game of the season because its the next one. COME ON CITY! :cool:
I said WHO ? is there a draw ? Its probably a very big team
Oh sorry.Quote:

And Cork have to get there first, job is by no means done yet.
No easy tie there whatsoever.
thanks Slash for that. It could all go pear shape in two weeks time for the CCFC but if they make it through to the next round they have a massive game ahead of them. There are some real big clubs there
There are some pictures of the game on the djurgarden site here

1 game at a time for City, its perfect to have 2 huge league games before the Swedes arrive.
Pity the all-seater rules as atmosphere was sh!te for last Uefa Cup game. No danger of crowd & players not being up for this one though.
I presume RTE will definitely show the game now.
Inspired decision by Rico to play Fenn.
Is the game being moved to Dublin? :confused: :pQuote:

Great result Cork City..........hope the second leg is on TV..best wishes and good luck. :)
The Djurgarden coach was reported in the media, as saying that when he heard his team drew Cork in this round, he assumed that they were a "typical British team". :rolleyes:
Can somebody show me on the map where exactly Cork is, in Britain????? :confused: :mad:
Steaua were saying the same thing about Shelbourne. Obviously geography is only taught in IE and UK. :)
I have the Indo here and Gerry McDermott concludes his report with, "History however suggests that the odds are still against Cork as one has to go back to 1975 for the last time an Irish side beat Scandanavian opposition over two legs."
Where was he last summer when we beat Malmo home and away??? :confused:
Sap! :mad:
I was just reading that myself. If he meant in Uefa Cup then he should have said that! Muppte!Quote:
