That said by getting a draw last night Ireland's coefficient goes up so Cork's does also. Had Cork got a draw in one of the legs against Slavia Prague last season as well as Ireland's coefficient going up by 0.333 points, Cork's would have also increased by 1 and would have been seeded instead of the Macedonians.
I think next thursday is a big day as will know by then what countries have all their teams knocked out giving the ranking list a clearer picture.
Drogs & Derry have a great chance as a few nice pickings in the 2nd qualifying round northern section meaning more ranking points on offer.
lets keep on topic here.. its about co efficent and not results
Just looking forward to Newcastle, FC Twente and Hertha Berlin:eek:Quote:

Sorry Viking - but I can 100% guarantee you that you are worng here. I can't be arsed to go into explaining the whole story, as I've done it about 3 previous times on here already (once earlier this year), so you'll just have to take my word for it.Quote:

How can I be 100% sure that I'm right ? Because I was told the story direct from the mouth of Alun Evans - Welsh League Chairman, former FAW President, and former UEFA Board member. You may think you know more about Welsh football than him, but with no disrespect I seriously doubt you do....
Oh sweet Jebus, you are serious! :eek: :eek: :rolleyes:Quote:

Either side should take Gretna and then have a great chance of getting a club coefficient in the 1st round proper. This is absolutely huge. It effectively guarantees 5 years of seeding for the club. It also helps the national coefficient as points are doubled in that round. In reality no chance yet against the likes of Newcastle.
Its not likely both Derry and Drogheda will progress.Quote:

Both Irish teams are new to europe and you cant let up for the 180 mins if you want to progress. I hope the players and management of Drogheda and Derry dont take it as a given that they have any right to progress.
Its still only half time and the seeded team would still be the bookies favourite Id imagine.
IFK beat West ham in a friendly yesterday:D
So people can Cork get anything out of tomorrow game?
i doubt with the two lads suspended and o'callaghan still at loggerheads
After last night game (i taught Cork gave them too much respect and didn't attack them more) Can Drogheda and Derry do it tonight and get into the 2nd q Round of UEFA Cup?
Am I right in saying our co-efficient is now 1.667(5/3)?
1.667 ?? oh my god ! thats a big jump.. Another win and were up to 2 !! incredible. A tall order for a win though in the next round.
I wouldn't say that. Even 2 draws from 5 games will yield 1 pointQuote:

Updated. That guy doesnt hang around!
Updated table here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/...crank2007.html
We're officially better than Liechtenstein :eek:
Hopefully we can overtake the Macedonia's before the season is out - with a favourable draw for the 2 teams tomorrow we could even more into the top 35 above Georgia.
Here's the teams Derry and Drogs could draw tomorrow
Newcastle United (Eng)
Club Brugge (Bel)
Hertha BSC (Ger)
Brøndby IF (Den)
FC Twente Enschede (Hol)
Gretna FC (Sco)
KSV Roeselare (Bel)
Molde FK (Nor)
OB Odense (Den)
Start Kristiansand (Nor)
SK Brann Bergen (Nor)
Any of the Norweigan teams, The 2nd Belgian team, Odense or Gretna (in that order) pls
Apart from Newcastle, nobody in there would be too impossible.
Having said that they might fancy a Newcastle side in Lansdowne Road with Duff ?
Drogheda are giving up home advantage and have played there before ?? Then again so has duff :)
