Gemmill 36786 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 "The place for the defending cup holder is only used when that team has not otherwise qualified for either the Champions League or the UEFA Cup. If this place is not used then the cup winner of the 11th country on the country ranking list will gain direct access to the 1st round round, and the cup winners of the 25th and 26th country on the country ranking list will gain direct access to the 2nd qualifying round." 128873[/snapback] What the fuck does THAT mean?

Matt 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Unlike the CL, there is a specific 'holder' place in the competition, so Boro winning it would not affect the other English sides looking to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what Bizza said. That'll allow me to sleep a bit easier. The thought of them both winning that AND denying us Europe on the same night would be too much to take.

Guest CrimsonFault Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 They're to receive 9,200 tickets for the final in PSV, can hardly see those tickets getting sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9062 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The other bad thing is that we could well do with the Smoggies getting a result against Bolton. But they will play a game every two days until the final. So I doubt they will face their first team players a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hggcraig 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The Steaua manager is an idiot. It seems pretty obvious that if you try to defend and let the other team attack you for about 80mins they have a pretty good chance of scoring goals. Why didnt they just play their usual game, after all it got them a 2-0 lead to begin with. I really hate it when teams just all out defend as the best form of defence is sometimes attack and the other team cant score if your team has the ball. Did the Steaua manager not watch the Basle game. Lets hope the inbred twats lose the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 36786 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 You can't begrudge the players the result because they earned it, but I've got one of them emailing me this morning with "Geordies at home, watching the bill", telling me they're "awesome" and that Macarone is world class. Needless to say it's the first game he's been to this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1125 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Can't feel bitter toward the smoggie players because they did earn it. But like Papa I am fucking furious with Basel and Staua they had it wrapped up but bottled it big style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza 105 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Fan collapses in pitch invasion Thousands saw Boro's win at the Riverside Stadium A Romanian football fan was treated in hospital after collapsing during a pitch invasion as Middlesbrough secured a place in their first Uefa Cup final. Boro came back from 3-1 down to win their semi-final game 4-2 against Steaua Bucharest on Thursday. The Romanian supporter collapsed after he and another man invaded the pitch at the Riverside Stadium on Teesside. He was later released from hospital. Middlesbrough face Spanish side Sevilla in the final in Eindhoven on 10 May. Security arrangements Cleveland Police said five arrests were made for minor public order offences during the night, which saw more than 200 Boro fans still celebrating in the town centre at 0400 GMT on Friday. A spokesman said: "This was a wonderful night for English football." Police and club officials were heading for Holland on Friday to discuss security arrangements for the May final. Last month, three Boro fans were stabbed ahead of the team's Uefa Cup clash with Roma in Rome. Trouble also flared at a subsequent Uefa tie against Basel in Switzerland. Overcome by fumes TBH.
