Litteraly NOTHING would change other than the name inside the ball. Not to say the result of the draw would remain the same but It would be EXACTLY the same circumstances surrounding it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goose2010 2,265 Posted 26 February Report Share Posted 26 February Rangers with Fans great draw and experience i'm sure. Rangers are pretty much the said as Slavia the league is wrapped up. They can rest 11 players before each game. Would have been a v.tough game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, it’s not the same as domestic cup competitions where your number could be completely different to the other team Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We just need to turn up on the night, which clearly we didn't against slavia. By the same account you could argue that if we played Liverpool or Man City in Europe it would be a totally different outcome. Man City more so with their desire to win that competition and I’m sure their fans would argue the same point they didn’t turn up for the league games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so. If Liverpool win the CL and finish 5th and Spurs win the EL whilst finishing 6th, I think only 3 teams would qualify through league position as you can only have 5 teams representing 1 country. I'm probably wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm probably wrong. you're right about five teams ……… precedence is for the tournament winners and EL winners over league placings. so in strange circumstances, the fourth place league side can miss out on CL. either Liverpool or Chelsea have to win the CL and both finish o/s the top four for that to happen …... (and spurs/arsenal to win the EL) Edited 26 February by st albans fox 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twitcher 82 Posted 26 February Report Share Posted 26 February Ah just looking at the draw it hurts. Not because it's Rangers, and that would have been an interesting tie, just merely the fact there doesn't look many left now as you look at the draw, and it would have been so nice to still be involved. Never mind. Onwards and upwards and all that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
