V for Vendetta Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Lol@ believing we could reach the champions league playoff rounds. We're struggling to reach the Europa. Exactly. People are going to have to accept that they can't expect their club to bridge the gap because finances are the biggest divide and we have no means to bridge the financial gap. We either have to accept the imbalances as they are and that they will remain for the forseeable or go for radical wholesale changes which are against the traditions of the way the game has been ran since 18oatcake. Most fans are dead against radical change in our game so they'll just need to accept that they can't have their cake and eat it. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm going to bake a cake and eat it, I don't think it'll bridge any gap other than between my belly and my jeans......... Don't know whether to be depressed about it or not........ No.....cake, I'm definitely happy Link to comment
Dandie1992 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Lol@ believing we could reach the champions league playoff rounds. We're struggling to reach the Europa.Rijeka and Maribor probably going to get into there this week. Not all countries are like us where there are huge gaps between teams as we are discussing in this thread, often you're playing the 3rd in the league in the Europa league quals and 2nd in the league in CL quals. Fuck me some of these teams are basically the same standard but just got separated by a point or a few goals goal difference. Still get utter shit teams in CL qualifying. Link to comment
Hewitt a the pies Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 What we need is a team of "tax dodgers" to sign a load of players they can't afford to buy the league and qualify for the CL group stages year upon year and boost our Coefficient...oh hang on! Link to comment
alscotoz Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Am i right in thinking that even if we beat the cyprus team we're still not in the group stages of this MM competition? Link to comment

YorkDon Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It would take a Russian oligarch or such like to bankroll us to the title,as we all know the changes required from top to bottom in our game will never happen. Link to comment
Mr John Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 That didn't really help Hearts. Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Lol@ believing we could reach the champions league playoff rounds. We're struggling to reach the Europa. It's actually much, much easier to reach the Champions League P/O round or group stage than it is to do the same for the Europa League. By some fucking distance. Due to the CL "champions route" the tims can only come across teams from the wee leagues.It's not possible for them to meet teams from Spain, Germany, Italy, England, France etcOr even from Portugal, Russia, Greece, Holland, Turkey, Belgium & Ukraine. Countries that all provide possible opponents for us in the Europa. Biggest problem is getting there in the first place by winning the title.After that you can be like Celtic, play a pishy team like Reyjkavik, Dundalk Stjarnan and an easily beatable team such as Rosenburg, Quarabag, to get to CL P/O then you are guaranteed Europa League minimum.Like 2 years ago when the might of Malmo papped them oot, and Maribor year before.FFS, the cunts only had to beat teams from Gibraltar, Kazak and Israel to get into Champions League groups stages last season. 1 Link to comment
Mr John Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The whole thing is fucking loaded. Stop dwelling. Boycott.Fuck the Champions League. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Lol. It is funny that it is so blantantly corrupt in favour of the 'big' sides that it is so much easier to get into the champions league via the qualifiers than the europa league & that even if you fail at that you then get the easiest possible route into the europa league via losing lol Link to comment

Does the loser of CL QR3 not also drop into EL QR4 or has that changed now? (Huns 2011), Tims 2? Years ago. Link to comment
