Inter-toto Cup Draw 2004

**paudie** · 06/04/2004, 12:43 PM

No mention of the inter toto on the malmo website (www.mff.se), though my swedish isn't that hot.

I was there once. Nice city, smaller than Cork i'd say. Only half an hour by train from Copenhagen so that would probably be the best way to get there.

I'd say they would bring a big crowd to Cork so the home game could be a laugh.

They're playing their first league game against Hammarby today.

No doubt they're sweating after our great result against Longford!

Its a countries disciplinary record in europe this season that counts. I think irish clubs are currently ranked 8th or 9th in europe for 2003/2004 season. If a country gets a UEFA cup Fair play spot its the club with the best disciplinary record in the last domestic league season that gets it.

Last season I think that was Bohs or Shels but since they're in europe anyway City are next and would qualify.

at the moment sweden are top of the pile for the fair play
award. After that there is a draw for two countries above a certain mark (ireland are above the mark) who get a UEFA place as well.

City were in the hunt for the award last year but were not drawn out

Its the countries clubs in european competition and the international teams performances that count. So luckily Dan Connor doesnt count (or Roy Keane, come to that

).

The Ryanair flights may be cheap, but you have to wait at Stansted for about 6 or 7 hours to get the flight to Malmo.

You could get an Easyjet flight to Copenhagen for approx the same price.

You were top of the fair play league so if ireland gets the spot you'll be in the uefa. We'll get the inter toto then. Have no idea when that draw will be made

**Terry Phelan** · 06/04/2004, 2:01 PM

depending on how the Fair Play draws go....

Sheeze ... that is kinda late in the day to be finding out isn't it.

"As reported back in February, Cork City are still in with a chance of qualifying for the UEFA Cup through the Fair Play system. The Fair Play draw will not be made until May. "

That is a real spanner in the works !!

MFF against Irish team in Intertoto

We are likely to play Cork City, that is if the Irish dont get a extra spot according to Uefas Fair play-system. If thats the case we're up against S:t Pats Athl. We'll have to wait til May before this whole thing is decided.

I'd say:base yourselves in Copenhagen. It's much nicer there than in boring old Malm� and the booze is better and way cheaper in Denmark!

**eoinh** · 07/04/2004, 11:59 AM

i got this on another board about our inter-toto involvement

"For the Netherlands Heerenveen, Roda JC and NEC "signed up" for the Intertoto. Heerenveen is almost certain of UEFA-cup, so Roda JC will start in the 3rd round versus Czech Rep 1, Slovakia 1 or Armenia.
And NEC will start in the 2nd round versus Cork City or Malm�. And if they win they play France 1 in the 3rd round"

Funnily enough ive only gone to one Dutch match and the team i saw was NEC! They were slaughtered by Ajax on that occasion.

**Eric** · 07/04/2004, 12:15 PM

How bout 451 setting up a travel club so we all end up travelling to the same place before the match??????

**ccfcman** · 07/04/2004, 12:51 PM

is malmo definate if we miss out on the uefa fair play spot!

Depends on whether they finished top of the "Fair play" league in Sweden last season.

Was in Copenhagen a few years ago for a city break. They don't really have a pub culture and the nicest bar we saw was an Irish one in the city centre.

At the same time its a very big city so some local knowledge might help in finding good places off the beaten track.

Was in Malmo and its much smaller. Definitely better range of accommodation in Copenhagen.Probably only worth going to Malmo on the day of the game only to mingle with home fans.

If you stay in Denmark another problem is you need Danish and Swedish currency for the trip.

Was in Copenhagen when we played Brondby a couple of years ago. The Dubliner and The Shamrock are decent Irish pubs over there, but Foleys is the dogs ******! Late license, from what I remember (which isn't much!), and plenty more non-Irish spots aswell. Fantastic-looking women, cheap booze, brilliant city - highly recommend yiz base yourselves there!
