Good Luck Liv'pool

I have to admit it's a good solution but something doesn't feel that right about it, having to fight for what's rightfully theirs anyway.

That's the point, it isn't rightfully theirs.

UEFA gave the FA the places. The FA decided how they would be allocated. Liverpool don't get a place.

Had the FA ruling been fourth place team, unless an English team wins the competition and failed to finish in the first three in the Premiership.

They didn't, so Liverpool do not rightfully get a place.

Your numberage is as ever implacable.

However the idea was to play an extra qualifier. Then only one of the teams would go into the qualifiers proper and the arithmetic of the competition would be uninfected.

So play a team that had already qualified for the first qualifying round?

Yeah, that'd work


Seems like a sensible solution provided the team playing Liverpool are kewl with it, which they clearly are as they suggested it.

Damn. Now I've only got my hatred of all things Scouse as a reason why they shouldn't compete next year.

You could also get on some sort of parochial "high horse" re a poor Welsh team prostituting itself to suurvive, in the "cut-throat" world that is modern football.

Look at it this way manks - If true & made concrete, this means that Liverpool has an additional match for next year's CL.

Which means another match Liverpool have to win to defend the title.

Which means another match they could potentially lose and crash out of the CL in humiliation

I've just phoned my mate to give him the bad news. He's suggested we find out which team has bent over for Liverpool's benefit and smash their windows until they reconsider their indecent proposal.

Now that has made me feel slightly better

Nah, stick to the traditional Welsh ways.

Thought it might

BTW while watching ITV's coverage of the parade, word from an interview from someone with the FA is that the Liverpool thing are exceptional circumstances and will be asking EUFA is there's an exceptional way Liverpool can go through.

Not trying to fan the flames from before, just saying what the latest words seem to be (still no word on the Welsh team's offer, which is weird considering the british media )

EDIT: They are, they aren't, they are, they are...Oh sod this. I'm waiting until either the FA or UEFA start an announcement on what happens.

One thing I think is certain, Everton will get to play in the tournament.

I think anything else would be totally untenable.
