Broxi 10,591 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 If I'm understanding the tweet properly, next year might be the last year with only 1 CL spot. We're on track to be 11th just now by 2021/22 season apparently, I don't think we'll get that high but top 15 looks very doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many teams as possible reach the stages to earn the points but always, particularly them obviously, then get fucked over by whoever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,815 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not sure who UEFA calculator is but this is a misleading stat. The country co efficient is based on a 5 year rolling performance of the club's from each country in Europe. Based on the past 4 seasons and this season to date Scotland is sitting 18th. What this analysis has done has rolled the current position forward two years and therefore it counts the past two seasons plus this year and then has every country scoring zero for the next 2 years. We could get to 11th by then but only if we score as well as or better than the countries currently sitting in positions 11 to 17 over the next 2 seasons.

the cry was no 2,961 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Kilmarnock getting pumped out by a team of sheep herders was costly Getting an extra team in becomes counter productive as all the points gained are added together then divided by the number of teams from your country to give the season points. Only us and the scum really boost the co-efficient hence why Scotland fell off a cliff when we weren't contributing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 8,232 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The main thing is that we keep our actual Europa League places and avoid the 2nd placed team whether that’s us or them being dropped straight into Europa League 2 with the dross If us and the scum can keep up our current level then we should be fine in that regard Also we’d have a far better coefficient ranking if the SFA just handed the other 2 places to another country, maybe we should do that for the next few just to be safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris182 5,911 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 As I posted in another thread, us and the orks need at least another few wins and draws in Europe this year to try and concrete us in the top 15 countries for 21/22 season. As well as the 2 CL qual spots, probably more importantly for Scottish sides we would also avoid dropping into the dreaded Europa League Conference (the new third tier competition). What a shit show that would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want the filth earning a bean from Europe other than a few bob from humpings in the qualifiers. As for the standing of Scottish football, everyone outside of our famous gates can rot and die IMO. We’ve done it the hard way with nothing but obstacles put in our way so we’ll take OUR seeding based on OUR performances and sink or swim on our own merits.

What a weird mentality my view is that I want what’s best for my football club and if we are winning the league but having to enter the first qualifying phase of CL because of the failings of our domestic rivals then I will be pissed off Scotland having a higher coefficent is good for Rangers. I won’t ever be hoping the taigs do well, I am indifferent to it as long as we are above them in the league, but the better they do in Europe the better for us.

In Europe, Aberdeen, Hivs, Kille or whoever are all basket cases. We can’t change that. Perhaps if they hadn’t all tried to kill us off, the game might be in a healthier state up here. So the only other way the Scottish coefficient can improve (other than our efforts) is for the scum to do well. As I so eloquently put it earlier “fuck that”. Id rather play an extra qualifier than see them do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 29,580 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The ultimate would be two Champions League spots. It means the financial gulf is closed between us and them.

sRcFoCt 7,263 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Once again short memories 7 years ago booted down the leagues no thought for "scottish co-efficient" What was the overall saying in scotland "aye man its pure great aberdeen,hibs and other teams man will dae pure brill" 2 years ago the fucking embarrassment of Luxembourg Every cunt laughing no thought for co-efficient. A couple of months ago kille get fucked out of Europe by a Welsh part timers We laugh about it then we are condemned by scottish football "got to think about the co-efficient" Fuck them.
