JohnnyMc certainly doesn't seem to think so

It's always been the rules in the Setanta Cup. It was explicitly stated when the competition was launched that the cup runners won't get in.

Back to my original question. Does anyone know when the draw is?

Next week, according to the FAI. It's in there somewhere! Either Monday or Wednesday.

Do you have a link for the Cup runners-up not getting into Europe? I read about it on some Scottish clubs' MB when Gretna were embarrassing their league, but someone said that that had been rescinded...?

I don't. I'll consult the Bible, er, I mean Bert Kassies.

The Bert Kassies forum is down.

According to wikipedia: " If a team qualifies for European competition through both winning a cup and league placing, the "spare" UEFA Cup place will go to either the cup runners-up or the highest placed league team which has not already qualified for European competition, depending on the rules of the national association."

The main Bert Kassies page says: "If the cup winner of a country also qualifies for the Champions League, then the losing team of the cup final is qualified for the UEFA Cup."

Either they're not up to date or it was recinded. I could have sworn they had passed it that cup runners up wouldn't get in anymore.

Longford Town v UCD final. What are the odds? Imagine a half time kickaround in Lansdowne Road.....

This article in the Scotsman paper in March related to Gretna's cup run would suggest that UEFA agreed to cancel the cup runners up spot before the end of last season and only agreed to hold it off until this season as it would have been unfair to teams who had already qualified for Europe. Confusing stuff.

That sounds about right. Haven't heard anything from the FAI on it. It's all dependent, of course, on Derry winning the league and getting to the final. Anything else and it's academic.
