Distribution
The winners of the 2010�11 UEFA Europa League, Porto, would have been guaranteed a place in the group stage; however, as they qualified for the 2011�12 UEFA Champions League, this title holder spot reserved for them was vacated. As a result, the following changes to the default allocation system were made to compensate for the vacant title holder spot in the group stage:
The domestic cup winners of associations 16 and 17 (Scotland and Bulgaria) are moved from the third qualifying round to the play-off round.
The domestic cup winners of associations 28 and 29 (Belarus and Republic of Ireland) are promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
The domestic cup winners of associations 52 and 53 (Malta and San Marino) and the domestic league runners-up of associations 33 and 34 (Latvia and Moldova) are promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

Its down to a couple of things. What round a team enters is down to the accession list;
http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/...ccess2011.html

Whether they�re seeded or not is down to their individual seeds;
http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/...trank2011.html (this was the rank used for this season�.)

So while Rovers were seeded in the CL qualifiers, Sligo wouldn�t have been.

Likewise even though Pats entered the Europa League in the 1st round, they were still seeded in the 2nd round

Best of luck to Rovers. Hope they can finish the job. Looks like they sent a good crowd out.

The Star quoting figures? There's a surprise. They've been quoting how much LOI clubs stand to make from European games since 2004. The amount received is usually quite different.

We will make money from the European run, but we don't spend megabucks on players. That's unlikely to change no matter how far we go.

This is like the first leg. Rovers dreadful from set pieces and their finishing is awful. But still the stronger side.

They're rubbish but Rovers need to put their foot on it and get a couple of goals. Billy Dennehy's on the wrong wing.

your right but Shams need to get a goal to finish it. Flora will get bolder second half as nothing to lose perhaps?
19/07/2011, 4:30 PM
paul_oshea

so is it still 0-0.
19/07/2011, 4:30 PM

Rovers are very comfortable and are clearly the better side, but need a goal when on top. The better side doesn't necessarily go through. A deflection, another dodgy penalty, og, offside, wonder strike...

I thought Flora would be better than this. Rovers are obviously far superior but Flora have a couple of players who can create chances from scraps. I don't think they have a hope of getting 2 goals, but they could get one and force it to go the distance.

Looking at the stats, they dominated on chances & corners. Only area that let them down was their finishing. Flora didn't even have a shot on target in the 90 mins. That says it all really..

Happy boy. Crap game but Flora never looked likely to score and with a little bit of luck/better finishing it could have been a lot more comfortable. Four more games!
