Question for CCFC fans?

Thu Oct 03, 2013 9:20 pm

We are currently 2nd in the Fair Play table, only behind Southampton. Could be a way into Europe ? Would we be accepted ?

I'm not exactly sure but I'm sure it's more down to the English national team if I'm not mistaken? I'd love it if we qualified for the Europa League through this. Even if the bigger clubs like Man United etc had a better disciplinary, we'd still qualify apparently? I know it wouldn't be as deserving as other routes but Cardiff City Stadium on a European night

This fair play is across Europe. So we are not up against just the EPL teams but all of Europe.

Really complicated. Based on fp in the league as a whole and loads ofother variables. Being top of the pl fp league is just the start.

Don't want Europe yet.

Our first three seasons (minimum) has to be about staying up.

To qualify for the Respect Fair Play places the EPL would have to be one of the three winners.Then the top team in the EPL Respect Fair Play Table would qualify, unless the team already qualifies which results in the second placed team and so on.

Swansea were top of the fair play league in our first Prem season but because England finished 7th in Europe in the fair play leagues we didnt qualify, it has to be top 3.

The countries league isnt released very often though as far as im aware, xmas and then the end of season.

I don't want Europe - Swansea don't have the squad depth to compete in EL and Premier League... The teams who do well like Spurs have immense squads and most of their 2nd team would get into many Prem 1st teams.

Exactly, Spurs made eight changes for last night but it wasn't weak at all.

Looking at their team, players who played last night:

Lamela, Defoe, Kaboul, Sandro, Holtby, Dembele, Chadli..

Vorm, taylor, wlliams, Monk, Rangel, Canas, Shelvey, Dyer, Hernandez, Vasquez, Lammah

Didn't start last night so whilst we haven't got a squad like spurs its getting stronger season by season.

Simple answer 'Yes' (and Swansea are the evidence that there is 'fair play' towards the Welsh clubs) :ayatollah:
