In the first round proper a draw equal 1.0 co efficent points and a win equals 2.0 co efficent points.

So, if Cork get a win : (1.0) / 3 = 0.333 + 4.331 = 4.664

We would jump to 38th position. The rest of the teams are not in the competition anymore. Right the way up to 32nd (Finland). Excellent progress. But it all depends on the draw.

A draw in one game in the next round would be huge. While it would be nice to catch Liechtenstein and Iceland it is imperative we catch Belarus.

As I said, no matter what happens now, once Cork get 1 draw we will jump ahead of Belarus and Liechtenstein. A win and we're ahead of Iceland.

No matter what happens, if Cork lose we get nothing

[thejollyrodger]

always the optimist eh dodge

[Dodge]

Think Cork will get a result in Cork no matter who they're playing tbh. I was just pointing out the oxymoron of saying "No matter what, once..."

I was replying to:

"A draw in one game in the next round would be huge. While it would be nice to catch Liechtenstein and Iceland it is imperative we catch Belarus."

Its impossible to go ahead of Belarus without also going ahead of Liechtenstein. Thats all I'm saying.

Just like they did against Ekranas a month ago?

Just like they did against Ekranas a month ago?

They got everything wrong that night, tactics, effort etc.
They thought the job was done from the first leg and got complacent.
it's unlikely to happen again.
I'd hope we'd get a home draw anyway

Are there no Belarus sides left in competition though??????????

[pete]

I noticed that outside the top 30 countries only Finland & ourslves have any team left in Europe.

Last night was the opposite of Ekranas as all our attacking players turned up last night.

[gspain]

My understanding is that a draw is worth .16666 so we may not end up ahea dof Liechtenstein.

However that is really irrelevant. A draw means we go ahead of Belarus which really matters.

[EnDai]

Its worth 0.333 for the country co-eff in this stage now.

[jorge]

So what are we on now?

[swinfordfc]

That Finland team thats left is Mypa who beat dundee utd on away goal rule
from countries ranked 52 up to 33, the only team left is Cork City so well done to cork as prove of this they shouldn't have got this far but they have!!!!

[swinfordfc]

ranking points of 1.833 our hoghest for a season ever

[higgins]

Yes Cork are the only team left from the bottom 20 countries!! Same happened last season with Shels when they played Lille!

Also its interesting to note (for me anyway ) that our overall aim is to get ranked 25th or better as its countries ranked 25th or higher that get byes into the second round and therefore the easier draws!

At present Croatia are 25th and Sweden are 26th

We have beaten their teams the last two seasons!!

[swinfordfc]

Fair point higgins so it does shows theat the EL is going in the right direction

[pete]

Country Ranking Points from seeding view is now 1.430 for next season. Based on this years draw thats enough to get both Uefa Cup team seeded in 1st qualifying round next year.

Probably not enough for CL 1st qualifying round seeding.

Just wondering, from a co-efficient point of view, would we not be better to be top seeded country in the first round - hence get home and away game against total minnows and be assured of points?

In saying that though, any team should be expected to beat a team from a league with a lower coefficient so if our position is deserved we should be ok.

[higgins]

I think Ive had this one about 10 times at this stage Bigmac

Ask yourself why we are talking about coefficients in the first place?

Its not so as we can ring up our croatian or swedish friends and say that we have more points then them! We are in the business of getting coefficient point so as to progress up the european ladder. Staying in the first rounds as seeds every season is all well and good but the aim of the game is to get as high as possible which means at some stage we will have 4 teams in europe and byes into qualifying round two.
