Cardiff City UEFA Cup

P_1 · 2008-03-27 20:35:37

Hey folks, how can the situation with Cardiff City and UEFA Cup qualification through the FA Cup be justified? Have Derry City not represented Ireland in this competition before? :confused: Surely a precedent for this has been established if they have.

So, either there were rules, or not.

Which is it?

As far as I'm aware they have now specified the criteria. I could well be wrong. but winning the CL definately takes the 4th qualification spot (and a place in the group stages)

If Liveprool got 4th spot this season, but the FA turned round and said: screw it, the FA Cup winner is getting the 4th spot - you'd be ok with that?

Firstly it's When Liverpool finish 4th.

and no, I wouldnt be ok with it but hey, my opinions dont hold my weight with the FA. If they did I'd find a reason to have the required number of points deducted by any teams that finish above Liverpool in the league each season. (hey if they can get away with it in Italy......)
