HeartsandonlyHearts Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I want them knocked out. Sooner than later. I want them winning nothing. It’s bad enough the Scottish media gloat over them because of Scottish trophy wins. I don’t need to see them win in Europe. Get them to **** Braga.

dannymack Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Great draw for Rangers, im sure they won't underestimate Braga and likewise. Would love to see Hearts beat Hibs, Rangers to beat celtic, Rangers to beat Braga, Rangers to win their Eurppean semi final, Rangers to go full pelt in their title challenge and pip celtic with all the minerals they've got... just in time for the Scottish Cup Final, that is only if Hearts beat Hibs.

Was thinking about that and yeah, it was actually bang out of order. Reality is having a European champion brings prestige to the league. Maybe doesn't have an immediate impact on clubs themselves, but you would think if you were negotiating the TV deal it would be a handy point to bring up to push Sky etc. to up their offer? Just as a wee side note, kinda seems ridiculous that we tie ourselves up to these long term tv deals with Sky. Surely shorter deals that are no longer than 3 years at a time would be far better and allow for almost constant negotiation? Its not like the EPL where we should be grateful to be in receipt of such a good offer. Our deals by comparison are crumbs so keeping them shorter to provide us more flexibility makes more sense.

Didn't sevco blame lawell for that? He claimed that celtic had a tour of Japan lined up at the end of the season so no time to delay the season's end to accommodate rangers. Rangers were duly knocked back by the SPL/SFA, played 4 games in 8 days and tour of Japan never materialised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing a Cup Winners tie iirc on the Thursday night (may have been the Mallorca game) and we asked for our game at Ibrox on the Saturday to be put back. Rangers shamefully refused so **** them and any help they ask for in rearranging fixtures. And the SPL or whoever it was at the time didn’t step in either. Of course had it been Rangers playing on the Thursday night and requesting a game at Tynie on the Saturday be rearranged we all know that it would have been a different outcome. In fact, the football authorities probably wouldn’t have had to step in as Hearts would likely have done the right thing and agreed to rearrange it anyway. Hope Braga pump them, hope Celtic pump them. They’re still 3 major trophies behind East Fife, could take them a while to catch them up at this rate. 😁 Edited March 19, 2022 by Fozzyonthefence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it could be in the Conference if and when Hearts drop out of the Europa, but I'm not sure whether teams from the same country would be kept apart. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other till the QF stage in Euro competition. A virtually impossible scenario for us and Hibs. It would be the ECL if it did happen but I’d say getting struck by lightning would be more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1966 Hearts or Real Zaragoza were drawn against Dunfermline in the quarter finals of the Inter Cities Fairs Cup. unfortunately Hearts were beaten in a play off by Zaragoza, however match tickets had already been printed .

Actually, in the Europa League playoff round, there's no restriction on teams from the same association being drawn together, and it's possible for us (or h1b5 in the nightmare scenario!) to be drawn against whoever finishes 2nd in this season's Premiership if they lose their first tie in Champions League qualifying, then win their first tie in Europa League qualifying, which would get them to the Europa League playoff round!

The coefficient gets boosted and we drink hun tears. I've been very much of a mindset for many, many years, that I hope both arsecheeks get absolutely pumped in Europe every game they play, but in the last week or so, as I've been looking at the coefficient rankings, I've started to change my mind. Scotland is going to finish this season in 9th place, and with the five year rolling calculation period meaning that one year gets dropped off every new season, we'll actually start accruing coefficient points next season from effectively 8th place. This is because Austria, who are directly ahead of us, got a lot more points than us in 2017/18 which is the season that will drop off from next season, and the difference between our points and theirs from that season is bigger than the difference between our overall totals. Now, 8th place doesn't actually get anything better than 9th, and neither does 7th, but if we could manage to scrape our way into 6th, things change significantly. For the 6th place country, the league winners and runners up both go straight into the Champions League group stage, which might not seem hugely relevant to us with the gap between us and the arsecheeks, but 3rd place in the league goes into Champions League qualifying with two rounds to get through to the group stage, and automatic entry to the Europa League group stage if you lose in either of those rounds, and the cup winners (or 4th place in the league if the cup winners finish in the top 3) gets automatic entry to the Europa League group stage! It would be a tough ask to get to 6th in the coefficient rankings, as the points gap between us and current 6th place Portugal is pretty big just now, and that gap can only be bridged if the arsecheeks start performing consistently better in Europe, and one or two other Scottish clubs (hopefully us!) start doing a wee bit better too, but I think it's possible, and the potential benefit to us, if we can start consistently getting 3rd or even 4th in the league, could be massive!
