I knew of Butland and that he was highly rated a few years back .Had never heard of the rest of them .

I think we can agree that it is confusing as fuck.

I have read the qualification criteria about 4 times , and every time I read it I am more confused . I think they make it up as they go along .I think it is set up so the scum can get knocked out of 3 euro competitions before xmas .

See my other post .I made a cunt of it .

You are right .the 10 teams who drop down are from the EUL qualifying playoff, not the 1st round of knock out matches . Conference league qualifying is a clusterfuck of back doors.

Yes, but if we lose the play off, we drop to the conference .

There is some big hitters already in the Conference and thats before the 10 drop down from the EUL .Villa, juventus , Frankfurt and Lille .There is a lot of shite there too .I agree that not making the CL isn't the end of the world , but after last years disaster , it would be nice to give a better showing of ourselves.

Just checked, the only way we can get into the conference league , is by coming 3rd in the CL ,or qualifying from the group stage of the EUL , then getting beat in the play off round . 3rd in EUL doesn't drop down .

I agree it is unlikely that would finish last in a EUL group ,and I would really like european football after xmas , even if it was in the conference league . I think it is still a risk aiming for the EUL at the expense of the CL .Brugge are good enough to win the Conference league (so should we), so a mixed bag of results from the 3 competitions might still not be enough to stop Brugge overtaking us . Its still nice being able to talk about possible CWC qualification .Its a good position to be in .

Looking at last years payout system for CL . £13.8 m to qualify , and a coefficient share of £1m per share .Rangers are ranked 29th , so would get 3 shares (£3m) , but 9 of the teams above us have not automatically qualified .This takes us to 12 shares (12m). There is a couple in the qualifying rounds above us, like Ajax which would drop our share if they qualify .Add on our tv share and any points we get , we should be looking at (hopefully) at least 30m , just from qualifying and getting a couple of results .Ideally , followed by 3rd place and drop into the EUL . We could drop straight into the EUL (from CL qualifying) and don't get by the group stage and still fail to get to the CWC. .

More hope than confidence .A massive change in the team was long overdue , and now that is happening I am hoping the replacements make a difference .After the first half of last season , even hope went out the window . Since he took over , I have at least got hope back .Confidence will come with a run of good results .

Yilmaz never let him run off him (was never marking him in the first place) . Yilmaz was standing in an acre of space out left waiting for a ball to be played to him . We fucked about in the middle then lost it .His wee legs were going like the clappers to try and get back .He is guilty of expecting a pass and not having longer legs .

Funnily enough , it had a capacity of 1300 .

O2 Academy is 2500 and the Barras is only 1900 . King Tuts is only 300 . 1300 is a decent size for a gig .

It might be a step up in class, but they have a good chance against Falkirk .

What a result .Bye Jim

Results . We are improving defensively , but the full backs are still an issue .

Happy new year and all the best for 2023 .To everyone who had a shite year , heres to a better one ahead. If you had a great year , heres hoping it continues .

Merry christmas everyone .Hope everyone has a great day .

Missing or don't exist ? It should be easy to show that they are separate if they actually were . Different bank accounts, sources of funding , different management teams etc. They seem to be pinning their hopes on a wee bit of paper saying that they are separate entities .

I am sure all of them were at home too.
