Europa conference league

[AliboyFC]

How far will we get in the europa conference league?

[Hibbyradge]

How far will we get in the europa conference league?

Just past pennicuik, probably. :rolleyes:

[Monts]

Nowhere. We'll be in the Europa League :wink:

[Lancs Harp]

Nowhere. We'll be in the Europa League :wink:

Final will be in Seville, Im booking Monday.

Conference final is in Tirana. Interesting but edgy.

[WhileTheChief..]

To be guaranteed more than just a qualifying round that we could easily lose is brilliant.

If we can get into the Europa League that would be some achievement and would give us all something to be excited about for months.

If we’re back at ER by then we’re in for a treat next year.

[Brummie_Hibs]

Tirana. Interesting but edgy.
A disappointingly mundane place.

We’re not guaranteed anything.

As it stands, the Scottish Cup gets the Europa League spot that is one round from the groups, with defeat leading to the Conference Groups.

3rd and 4th place get entry into the 3rd qualifying round of the Conference.

If either of the Old Firm win the Cup, then that place goes to the team that finishes 3rd, and 5th will enter the EC.

It’s likely the EC spots will be unseeded, and a fair chance of coming up against big teams in those 3 rounds will probably make either of the Scottish clubs in that route making the groups very unlikely.

[WhileTheChief..]

We’ll finish 3rd though.

[ScottB]

We’ll finish 3rd though.

And as it stands all that can get us is one unseeded qualifying round... the place meant for the Cup is the one that guarantees group stage football.

[Bristolhibby]

A disappointingly mundane place.

I had a great time there. I fully embraced the austere and paranoid Hoxha vibe.

Won’t be rushing back for a holiday with the wife and kids mind.

I think based on current standings the big countries would have the following clubs representing them in the Conference league

Spurs or Liverpool (Spurs if they win the league cup)
Roma
Leverkusen
Real betis
Lens
Benfica (don’t understand the Portuguese entry, they don’t seem to have any Europa league places according to the live score app).

Maybe the 2 Cup winners are given the Europa places in Portugal. Or its a mistake on the app

Portugal as UEFA association ranked 6th will have two entries. 4th and 5th placed in the league. On current standings that would be Benfica (who are having poor season) and Pacos de Ferreira.

That was my thinking too.

But, in our match report, the BBC said 3rd place guarantees December football. Which I'm guessing is an error on their part?

Leverkusen would be handy.

You can fly in to Dusseldorf or Cologne. Both only about 20mins away on the train.

For something like Roma I'd be making a holiday out of it.

I’d love us to get an English team.

I’m a bit of a stadium geek and i’d love to go to the new Spurs stadium. From a practical and financial point of view my work situation means being able to drive to a game would be a huge benefit.

No, all teams that qualify for Europe get a bye into the knockout stages of the League Cup.

[hibbysam]

No, all teams that qualify for Europe get a bye into the knockout stages of the League Cup.

Wonder how that’ll work now it’s increased to 5 teams? Guessing it’ll only be the 3 best runners up that qualify instead of 4. Good year to get out of that nonsense!

I'm with you on all of that.

I would probably drive if it was a Northern French team too.

[Pretty Boy]

So basically if Hibs don't win the cup I have to want Celtic or Rangers to win it. Ugh.

[hibbysam]

To be fair that’s my thoughts most years. They win a trophy it’s just another day, I absolutely hate Aberdeen/Hearts etc winning trophies instead of us.

The Scottish Cup winner getting the Europa League spot is a joke. Who decided that? The Europa League spot should go to 3rd in the league and the cup winner should get a Europa Conference place. We'll have to hope either us, Rangers or Celtic win the cup but knowing our luck Hearts will win it.

[hibby rae]

So basically if Hibs don't win the cup I have to want Celtic or Rangers to win it. Ugh.

Kinda means as well that, as long as we aren't playing themm, we should want them to win every round.

Ideal scenario is we get one of them in the final.

I'm heading back into the shower after that thought. 🤮🤮

[hibby rae]

Can't see that.

Just had a look at Ligue 1, very tight up there but they are well in it.

UEFA decide it.

Balls. It's still early! 😂😂

[007]

Thanks. I was thinking it might have been the SFA and SPFL. Getting 3rd in the top league is harder than winning a cup so you'd think that would get the better reward.

[Sir David Gray]

Wonder how that’ll work now it’s increased to 5 teams? Guessing it’ll only be the 3 best runners up that qualify instead of 4. Good year to get out of that nonsense!

I wonder whether they will still have 8 groups of 5 teams in the group stage, in which case they'll need to bring in another team from the Highland/Lowland League. If not they'll only have 39 teams in the group stage and then they'll need to have 7 group of 5 teams and 1 group of 4 teams.

The club's agree that.

Or is it UEFA? :hmmm:

[Hibbyradge]

Can't see that.

Your puns just get cornea and cornea.

[Fergus52]

And as it stands all that can get us is one unseeded qualifying round... the place meant for the Cup is the one that guarantees group stage football.

If we enter at Q3 round of the conference league it's not set in stone we'll be unseeded.

Would depend how strong the teams are that get put out Q2 of the Europa League.

The minimum coefficient for Scottish clubs is quite high just now so there's a half decent chance we would be seeded.

[Pretty Boy]

Thinking about where I have friends living then teams from the South of France, Yorkshire, London, Seville and Rome would all be on my wish list.

It's hardly exotic but I would love a crack at an English team. Aberdeen and Hearts have both given them a fright in relatively recent years.

[Hermit Crab]

Leverkusen would be handy.

Italy is dodgy for away fans. Trust me on that one, I was in Napoli with Man City, never again will I go there. Dundee got battered in Palermo as well I think.

I think we enter 2r qualifying ECL if we dont get the EL place for 3rd.

Also does it go on the country co-efficient or the clubs own for seeding?

[Sir David Gray]

Yes 2nd qualifying round of the Europa Conference League for 3rd if we don't take the Europa League place that's reserved for the Scottish Cup winners.

[Billy Whizz]

And I presume if the top 2 were to win the Cup, 3rd place will get the Europa League place?

I’d love to play Betis. Ever since the Conference League got announced I’ve been looking forward to it, not because it’ll be the best tournament ever, but because it gives us a chance of playing teams other than Eastern European’s and Scandinavians that we seem to get most of the time.

Going to Seville which is a great city (and also very cheap!) to watch Hibs, possibly in November or December when it’s freezing here and having a piss up in the sun for a few days would be superb.

Nice or Marseille or something along those lines would be great trips as well. The Conference League certainly opens up the potential for trips to better places than the early Europa League qualifiers.

[Wakeyhibee]

Top 2 or ourselves win the cup yes :)

Ive been to Betis in November. It was cold and the home fans threw containers of urine at us forcing us to leave or move to the last rows. Seville itself is an interesting place. Best to stay over the river in Triana. Decent bars and nightlife. Bit edgy but safe all the same. Take a coat!

I thought it was warmer at Christmas time in Seville but it’s not as warm as I thought.

Hopefully we get Betis away in October then :greengrin I went to Seville a few years ago, loved it. I went in May though and it was nearly 40 degrees every day. Glad my hotel had a pool!

[Sir David Gray]

And I presume if the top 2 were to win the Cup, 3rd place will get the Europa League place?

Yes if Rangers or Celtic (or us of course) win the Scottish Cup) then 3rd gets into the play offs of the Europa League. If we win that we go into the group stage of the Europa League and if we lose then we go into the group stage of the Europa Conference League.

Hearts couldn't tackle a fish supper, struggled in what is probably the weakest championship ever against Arbroath and Morton, so we can rule them out. Aberdeen couldn't beat a carpet, one goal in 10 games, if anyone is going to win the Scottish cup outside us or the OF I think it's pretty safe to say we can rule either of these two out

We were 3rd in the Championship the year we won the cup and had lost 3-0 to Morton at Easter Road 2-3 month earlier. Hearts have got to the final the last 2 years despite being crap and gave a decent account of themselves n the final both times. I'd be surprised if they won it but I wouldn't rule them out. They've been lucky with the draw en route to the final before (2 years ago) and could be again.

That brought a tortuous memory back. Perhaps the only team in history to make Morton look like Real Madrid/Brazil 70/Melchester Rovers. They totally took us apart.

Having said that Hearts have got no chance of winning the Scottish cup this season :greengrin We played open attacking football and scared the living daylights out of Premiership teams and had the measure of Rangers IMO in that period. Hearts are playing like tripe and are tripe.

[St Pauli Hibee]

I'm hoping for central & eastern European teams personally.
Looking at teams that might be there:
O.Ljubljana (Slovenia)
MSK Zilina (Slovakia)
Viktoria Plzen (Czech Republic)
Zalgiris Vilnius (Lithuania)
CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria)
Partizan Belgrade (Serbia)

Union Berlin would be my dream draw as Berlin is about the only big city in Germany I'm still to visit.

Cant remember which but wouldnt we have played Hertha Berlin if we had have beaten Brondby or Molde in recent times?

I disagree. A team that wins a competition deserves the spot more than a team that comes 3rd. It’s just a shame that in Scotland 3rd is as good as it gets for non old firm.

Cup winners cup was the second competition in Europe in years gone by. It looks like that's what the EL is becoming to some extent with the ECL being the old UEFA cup.

It's the clubs seeding, but if that is lower than 20% of the countries total coefficient (which ours is) then that is used instead.

Berlin is probably my favourite city to visit, it would have to be a few days at least because the art, culture and nightlife in Berlin is second to none (btw if anyone wants Buckfast, or Scottish beer or cider, then go to a pub called Das Gift in Neukölln 😂).

We were a really good side in a very good championship in 2016, This is basically a no better Hearts team than the one that got relegated last year in what is probably the weakest championship ever, anyway do you rule Hearts out now?

[jgl07]

It will make no difference if Rangers or Celtic win the Scottish Cup. UEFA have always given priority to National Cup competitions and aren’t going to change. At least they no longer give preference to beaten Cup Finalists.

Hibs would have been pig sick in 2016 if their place in the Europa League had been taken by St Johnstone.

[Hibernian Verse]

Apologies if already mentioned, although I haven't seen it anywhere.

If we avoid finishing bottom of our group in the Europa League, should we get there (BIG IF), then we will have another knockout round to try and get to the proper knockout stage of the Conference. This round is called the "Preliminary Knockout Round".

Preliminary knockout round
(16 teams)
8 group runners-up from the group stage
8 group third-placed teams from Europa League group stage

I think it wouldn't be confirmed until the league was done - they'll still have an eye on a Europa place (or champions league for that batter).

With the FA cup final being Leicester v Chelsea their second Europa place will also go to the league (6th, as well as 5th) so West ham, Liverpool, or spurs will take up those 2 Europa spots.
If Spurs get 5/6th, the conference league place will go to 7th - presumably West ham or Liverpool.

I've written off the chances of Everton, Arsenal, Leeds, and villa reaching 7th/6th/5th as it was complicated enough. :greengrin

Would be a great trip down to the new Spurs stadium if we can go. I think there would be a good chance of being able to attend any of the English clubs grounds from September.
