I hope other Scottish clubs earn coefficient points but I absolutely refuse to support any of them. By 'support' I didn't mean turn up and cheer for them - I just meant 'hope' as you say. By the way, a propos of nothing, in Australia, they ask, "Who do you barrack for?" - meaing who do you support!

der Berliner 3,749 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Given how much money we spent "helping" the wee clubs while climbing through the divisions (compared to what the get from the authorities) ... and now this impressive promotion of the Scottish game in Europe, the amount of backstabbing coming from the Scottish game (not to mention authorities, media and politics) is quite sobering. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone will get two bites at the cherry this year. If they bomb out of the Europa straight away they get into the Conference play off. If they make it to the Europa play off but lose, they go straight into a Conference group. Regarding the coefficient: I can't help thinking Hibs would make a better fist of qualification than St Johnstone (and it would be handy to have them dsitracted and fatigued by European group football), so it would have been better if they'd won the cup / got the better spot. On the other hand, Hibs are cunts. Maybe the Conference will be of a low enough quality that the Scottish teams will do okay. I doubt any "big" team that ends up in the Conference League (Roma, Villarreal) will take it that seriously so they'll probably play their second string. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 887 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Here's a graph by Bert Kassies ( https://kassiesa.net/uefa/graphs/ ) that shows the "Rangers effect" (or lack of) on Scotland's ranking). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depiction shown is actually a Jackson Pollock abstract splatter painting. If any Gersnetters are thinking, that is the very dab for the lounge wall? I can facilitate at £500 a pop, I also have a spare bridge in Brooklyn for sale. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,948 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 It's not a Pollock, but it does illustrate that 'Less Is More'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
