Gandy Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 England just got allocated an extra Euro Cup place through it. Is there any way to improve your chances to get an extra spot each year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreenio Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 nope its all on the fairplay table now instead of having a draw, although this doesn't happen now and its all based on the uefa fairplay table (think sweden, denmark and england are the top 3 at the mo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 iirc the 3 UEFA nations with the best overall discipline record over the season (not sure how exactly it's calculated - fairplay tables etc) get allocated a place, which then gets allocated to the team in said division with the best individual discipline record.

Vic Taylor Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I believe it is for countries whose clubs picked up the fewest cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrisk85 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It's a ranking by UEFA that determines the best disciplinary record for each team and eventually for each league/nation, the best nation wins and gets 3 clubs into Europa league qualification or something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreenio Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I believe it is for countries whose clubs picked up the fewest cards. there's a lot that goes into it. Current table (well, last published) here. Basically the top team (who hasn't already qualified for europe by any other means) in each of the top 3 ranking nations (on the table in the link) gets a place in the europa league 1st qualifying stage. (had a big look at it yesterday after it becoming Fulham's possibility for europe next season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kieronbrown73 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 However if I understand the rule correctly the National FA's that have won the award then must allocate the extra place to the team with the lowest discipline points out of those not already qualified.

DanGLiverpool Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That is how it works Keiron, and if England do get a spot this season, it would go to Fulham at the moment, or if Fulham make it into Europe through other means, then Blackburn get it.

Frame Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Correct. Not only that. Teams are judged on the following criteria: * Yellow and Red cards: If no cards are shown the score will be 10. Every yellow card will deduct this total by 1. A red card will cost a team 3 points in the ranking. If the red card is the result of a second yellow card the deductions of the second yellow card will be ignored. But if a player gets a direct red card after he got a yellow card earlier, the yellow card will be counted as a deduction. This score could become negative. * Positive play: For positive play a team can score a maximum of 10 point and a minimum of 1 point. * Respect to the opponent: e.g. returning the ball to the opponent at a throw-in: maximum 5 points, minimum 1 point. * Respect to the referee: maximum 5 points, minimum 1 point. * Behaviour of the team officials: maximum 5 points, minimum 1 point. * Behaviour of the fans: maximum of 5 point and a minimum of 1 point NB: this criterion is ignored when the number of fans is negligible e.g. if there are no fans at all or because of penalty that was given by the UEFA. The total number of points will be divided by the maximum number of points (40 or 35) and multiplied by 10 which will result in a score between 0 and 10.
