UEFA Co-Efficiency League

What exactly does it mean for next years competitions for those that qualify?

[sullanefc]

I meant a total of 1 point for 03/04 which would mean 1 draw in any of the 4 matches. I forgot its double points in the UEFA cup proper so I'd be expecting more now.

Sorry, didn't understand what you meant. I too didn't realise they're were extra points for proper rounds. good stuff. More points hopefully.

To answer bobbyblob - The higher you move up, the more Euro places you get. But I don't think we get anymore until about 20th or something(open to correction). We are only about 40th now. Short term I think the higher we are the better chance we have of drawing a poorer team next year. And thus more points to move up and up.

More of the same. Unseeded in the CL First Round, seeded in the UEFA Cup prelim round. I think...

Ireland remain in 40 th place after tonights draw. getting closer to the countries above us though.......

See here

[DolansWaistcoat]

Thats the job.

1st against 40th last night and you woildn't have known it unless you were told.

[pete]

Even a draw for $hel$ in the UEFA CUP 1st round would possibly see the eL into the lofty heights of 35th

Can't rely on 1 team to get points every year though. Even if shel$ repeated this performance each year not gonna make enough difference.

[pete]

Still 40th after last nights UEFA Cup qualifers.

Unlikely to be caught by anyone below us thankfully.

Why do Armenia have 4 participants and Leichtenstein have 1 when they're in the area of countries with 3 participants and why do Kazakhstan have 0?

Armenia won the fair play draw for an extra place in Europe. Liechtenstein have no senior league any more, but do have a national cup, which FC Vaduz invariably win (being Swiss Div 2 as opposed to near amateurs), and so only have one team, who go into the UEFA, so it doesn't matter that they're ahead of us. Don't know about Kazakhstan though.

[TheSaint2002]

Kazakhstan were banned from UEFA competitions weren’t they, might explain their lack of places

[ShelsTim]

Ah, I see, cheers.

[brendy_éire]

Kazakhstan were banned from UEFA competitions weren’t they

Why? .

[MariborKev]

There was a fall out between the clubs and the antional association and UEFA wanted it sorted out otherwise no places for European competition

[eoinh]

The fall out was among the clubs of azerbaijan not kazakhstan. They didnt compete last season or the sesaon before that because of whatever argument happened.

Kazakhstan clubs didnt compete this season because none of their clubs managed to get a UEFA licenece.

This is the difference between being seeded and unseeded in the 1st qualifying round of next season's champions league.

Ourchampions will now be seeded next year thanks to this draw. No country behind us can catch us now.

Furthermore Shels now have a club coefficient so they will be much more likely to be seeded for the next 5 years

[Slash/ED]

That's good news. How much co-efficent points are a draw and a win worth to Ireland now that it's the first round proper by the way? With the right result away to Lille could we climb to 36th?
