Load of nonsense unless UCD are winning it.

It says on the linked thread that the league earns a place based on the amount of cards in the domestic league and international games, and then that the Scottish league award it to a team based on the factors you listed. That's the way I interpreted it anyway.

If you look at the intermediate leageu tabel uefa produced in january, they list a number of games after each country. These are the international, and european club games involved

Domestic discipline is not a factor in the UEFA rankings, only in the individual countries' rankings

Ties to be played the following Thurs and the week after that (2nd & 9th July).

Not exactly fan friendly.

Not at all.

Hopefully the draw will be regionalised so we wont have to travel to somewhere like kazakhstan with a few days notice.
Does anyone know when will the decision be made regarding regionalisation ?

if bohs get past the first round in champions league and get knocked out in second round i think they go into the Europa. i might be wrong about that so can somebody confirm it?
I seriously wouldn't rule out Bohs this season. I just feel if Fenlon can get the tactics spot on then the rock solid defence could see bohs make the europa group stages. i wonder what the odds of it would be. however i think if they get knocked out in second round of CL they wouldn't be seeded in the europa cup 4th round qualifier.

Your instincts are right. It's confirmed on Post #30, text plus a link.

I thought UEFA had already confirmed that it won't be regionalised?

Bert has it on his site that it won't be anyway:

In the Europa League qualifying rounds the teams will be no longer be divided into regional groups (as used previously in the UEFA Cup).

http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/...eedel2009.html

The old regulation said the UEFA administration could form groups based on economic interests of the participating clubs or based on regional criteria.

The new regulation just say that the UEFA administration may form groups. No explicit mentioning of regions. Strictly speaking it's not forbidden, but highly unlikely.

There's nothing been confirmed eeither way. The regulations certainly allow for it to be regionalised

Oh and Bohs must get to third qualifying round in CL to get to Europa League (if they lose)

Bohs enter at the 2nd QR. They need to get through this round to make sure they get into the EL - EL 4th QR if knocked out in the CL 3rd QR, or the EL group stage if knocked out in CL 4th QR.

Thanks Dodge, I thought it had been confirmed. Anyway, I wouldn't read much into them leaving the regulation there. The same regulation is in the CL rules allowing them to regionalise that if they want.

Slovenian champions NK Maribor will be seeded in the QR2 draw so Bohs are definitely going to be unseeded.

He'll play a 4-5-1 formation with Jayo Bryne out on the right.

Which "rock solid" defence is that - the one that shipped 2 goals in 2 mins on Friday night, or the one that let in 3 goals in the same game overall.....?

**Dodge** · 11/05/2009, 10:50 AM

But aren't you the best team ever steve? Surely every team wouldn't have the same firepower as you? Or are you saying that you only scored those goals due to Bohs defence being universally cack?

**OneRedArmy** · 11/05/2009, 11:58 AM

Any chance we could limit the trolling on this thread to the Europa League?

Can start a separate CL thread for Bohs related trolls.

That one yep, the one that conceded 2 goals in the season's previous 10 league games...
