so swings & roundabouts - 2 teams with v-difficult ties, other 2 should have easier 1st rounds :confused:
Strange. I was going off this, which is normally the access list for the season on top (i.e. 2010/11). Obviously there's a lot of games to go before then, but it has us 27th which, coupled with CuanaD's access list for next year (which is when the changes come into effect), is has us in Q3 of the UEFA.
Stand corrected if they change it though. It's just nice to see that we're near another jump up.
Updates on Cork Match: http://www.corkcityfc.ie/views/matchday.php
1-0 Haka. Cork need two now.
Does not really change things, Cork needed 2 goals realistically.
That's just the ranking list for the end of season 2010/2011. As it stands, because the summer leagues start in March or so, each FA needs to know, by then at the latest, how many places will be on offer that year.Quote:

The European season 07/08 had not finished by then, so therefore the last complete ranking list that could be used was that of European season 06/07. Hence, rankings from season 06/07 as seen here were used to calculate the access of each country to the European competitions for 2009/2010. This is where the 2 year gap comes from.
Maybe, but if you're going to assume Haka are going to score, you'd rather they didn't do it ten minutes in and get some encouragement.
2-0 now :mad:
On the upside, Vetra are losing against Stavanger
Jesus Cork are terrible for given teams 1/2 goal starts. No doubt this will end up 2-2 again!!!
Not an upside as they're potential oppents in next round and expensive to get to ;)Quote:

We only start playing at 0-2 anyway.
Yeah a two goal headstart is like a Cup of Coffee to you guys. You can't do anything till you have it:pQuote:

Reading the updates on the Cork website, it appears they are playing a high defensive line, due to all of the counter attacks Haka are getting, all Cork needed to do was go in at half time at 0-0, and then nerves set in the Haka players, do we defend or attack, pity they threw it away so early in the game.
It is completely over now, 3-0
4-0 now. This is very embarrassing. But could have been expected considering Mathews' shameful, shameful record in European games. I feel very sorry for Cork's fans. They deserve better than this. Also, Rico must be angry and frustrated. Impossible to imagine this shambles if he was still in charge.
Pathetic and embarrassing. Worst result in memory. Will have to search the record books...
:mad:
I'd like to say we're an embarrassment to the league.
Matthews doesn't have a clue in Europe
Our worst performance since Slavia Prague 94, still amateur at that time though
Behan sent off. That's an absolute shocker of a result with the players he has available and the standard of the opposition. No excuse for it.
