The playoff paths for route C and D in the Nations League give two lesser teams a chance to qualify, rather than rewarding the 24 best teams. That’s what I mean by falling into the finals, rather than earning our place. As an example, it’s like if England’s Champions League places went to the champions of each of the four different divisions, rather than the top 4 in the Premier League. The system is for some reason providing a couple of places for lesser teams. Which team or teams would say are losing out because of this system?

In general, a couple of better teams who fail to make it. On this occasion, that’s teams in Nations League B who haven’t qualified yet, who are now scrapping it out with each other over one place, rather than (mostly) avoiding each other as top seeds in playoffs between the strongest teams.

I am no fan of seeding, IMO it gives the bigger teams a helping hand to the finals by ensuring they avoid playing each other. Having teams of the same seeding play each other creates a better competition IMO. If anything, seeding has played a part in fucking football up. This new method gives the lesser teams an opportunity to do something they may have only dreamed of doing. Semi-final 1 (1 v 4): Georgia v Belarus (18:00 CET) Semi-final 2 (2 v 3): North Macedonia v Kosovo Thats the league below us, one of those teams will be in dream land come the end of March, I see nothing wrong with that. If the teams in pots B and A fail to get there, tough shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Champions league if you need a perfect example. Pretty sure the viewing figures for it must be declining as time goes on, especially in countries like Scotland or Belgium where the clubs don't regularly participate.

Also, you can do a geo look-up with them. If it showed TDK was in one city and Dohadeer was in another one it would be hard to argue they are the same person.

If the teams in pots B and A fail to get there, tough shit. It comes down to personal opinion, but in terms of sporting integrity, I’d want to the see finals being played between as close as possible to the 24 best teams in Europe. Rather than throwing a couple of ‘sympathy’ places at teams from an arbitrary point somewhere further down the pecking order. A country could have their once-in-a-generation/lifetime best group of players, and miss out because of places being given to teams who are much worse. Also, it creates meaningless matches at the finals, where these teams will be cannon fodder. The European Championships have always been such a good competition - way better than the World Cup, because they are so competitive It’s sad to see them diluted to this degree.

They could both easily be in Glasgow anyway. I’m not sure he is TDK but he was busted using another profile. Either that or someone is doing the strangest and most pointless wind up of all time. Either way the whole thing is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just read back and saw that DannyOz post. That is weird. I guess he could be using a VPN, as its a lot easier to set up nowadays. I'm not convinced dohadeer is TDK though after their massive stats argument the other night. Seemed legit, and dohadeer seems to know his maths. Strange times though.

WCTA Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 10 hours ago, Texas Pete said: For all I know you’ve been trolling this board for 15 years. Lets look at the facts. You claim the other profile isn’t you. Why didn’t you reply to his post asking what the hell he was playing at? That’s the first thing I would’ve done. You’ve barely posted on here in 15 years now you’re on here almost 24/7 posting similar stuff to several other profiles, two of which were proven to be the same person and have been banned? You now claim TDK/Chripper is trying to set you up so you’ll get banned as well? That seems a little far fetched, even for that guy. The whole thing is a little odd, don’t you think? To be fair there has been one poster in particular who has been trolling this board for a lot of years under different guises. He actually used to be funny. Rossy used to call him outbon it. I did enjoy his stuff until he decided to go on a personal online attack on me and members of my family. He’s still on here after all these years. His life revolves around “pisstaking” on social media and the likes. It would be interesting if he was Chripper/TDK/whoever. He certainly has previous and clearly the time on his hands. The fat, ugly impotent cunt has no life other than what he gets his kicks from as he’s obviously not had a ride in a long, long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
