    Rovers For Europe

    According to today's Sun Sligo Rovers and St. Pat's have been asked to apply for a European Licence in case Shels go bust and cannot play in Champions League. Appearently they want us to apply and be on 'stand by' in case "any other club runs into difficulty". Who knows, Seanie might have lead us into europe yet.

    Pats are the first choice if everything at Shels goes pear shaped.

    Pats would get in because they finished runners up in the cup and Derry would have qualfied for the CL through the league.

    AFAIK the champions league places are dtermined by league standings and not cup places, so therefore would Rovers not be in a better position? what about Cork are they not 1st choice or did they get UEFA Cup?

    Nothing to do with anything.

    What happens is that Shels get kicked out (I'm assuming that's the basis for the story) and Derry, as next in the league, get invited into the CL. For European qualification purposes, they'd be deemed to have done the double, quailfying for the UEFA and the CL. In this case, they accept the CL spot (presumably), and the Cup runners-up take the Cup winner's spot - i.e. Pat's take Derry's spot in the UEFA.

    Don't know why Sligo are being mentioned, to be honest. The next in line would be Cork, then Sligo.

    what about the setanta cup?
    do cork not have an intertoto spot?
    we are everybit as entitled to as pats..

    shels wont lose their title so derry wont go in 2 it as champions...

    they'll be promoted to the champions league but they wont have won the league

    therefore.. the place is ours is it not?

    Welcome!

    If it's any consolation, we're next behind you, so it's even worse for us!!

    (Though we do have the Fair Play to fall back on as well...)


    SligoBrewer -

    You're right about Cork, actually - apologies. However, they'd still get the InterToto as extra place is going to the Cup, not the league. Sligo could well get the Setanta though - you have to win the Cup to get into the Setanta, and licencing does apply for it as well.

    No, its 100% Pats (if they're kicked out). You're being asked to apply in case Pats don't get a license.

    If they're kicked out of setanta (unlikely), that'll go to you as they don't have ame entry laws as UEFA

    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
