The9 Posted 29 July, 2016 Share Posted 29 July, 2016 (edited) Oh and of course I'd forgotten Celtic are now sponsored by Dafabet: Here's them wearing their betting shirt advertising in Scotland in the Champions League qualifier against Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar. So as suspected it's not a "European rule", idiots at the Essex Chronicle... and again against Astana in Kazakhstan: FWIW I guarantee Astana will have to change their number and name colour if they get through to the group stage, UEFA won't be standing for any of that blue-on-blue nonsense.

Cartman Posted 29 July, 2016 Share Posted 29 July, 2016 Nothing to do with UEFA. It's national laws in some countries that ban advertising of betting and alcohol. Could see it in the euros where "Carlsberg" was replaced on the advertising boards by "Probably" as in their slogan "Probably the best p!$$ in the world".

I remember Newcastle changed their shirt sponsor when playing Metz (I thought Metz, the article here claims Monaco, that may have been the round after) circa 1996-ish which was the first time I'd seen that - but betting and alcohol sponsorship regulations are not the same in various countries anyway.

Not sure why that particular game sticks in my head No it isn't totally banned in France, but audiovisuel media alcohol advertising is. You can advertise alcohol in printed images like magazines or hoardings but they must always contain the phrase " L'abus d'alcohol est dangereux pour la santé". Sporting and cultural events sponsored by alcohol companies are not permitted. They can however donate funds for no publicité in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 29 July, 2016 Share Posted 29 July, 2016 (edited) More cluelessness about the West Ham shirts here too: http://www.joe.co.uk/sport/heres-why-west-ham-didnt-have-sponsors-on-their-shirts-on-thursday-night/76242 FWIW there's no requirement for names on shirts for the qualifiers, because the UEFA rules don't restrict clubs to the UEFA regulations for the qualifiers (other than possibly sponsor size). Presumably that's so all the smaller sides in the early rounds don't have to fork out for new sets of kit just to play in Europe when the overheads of travelling are expensive enough. UEFA are even ok with clubs wearing national league logos on their shirts in the early rounds. You may also have noted that Saints wore striped backs against Arnhem and Midtjylland last season. We will not be permitted to do so in the group stages. Just as West Ham won't be permitted not to have shirt names if they get into the group stages. And FWIW, the reason they didn't have their names on their shirts is probably because they regard it as pre-season, and like Saints, they have a set of kit made up for pre-season without names on the back - because Premier League rules are that you don't have to announce shirt name/numbers until the start of the season and they don't want people to assume anything and get their shirts printed with something wrong.

No doubt they'll have forgotten that again by the time the first home group game comes around and the stewards will get it in the neck again. Mind you after the Euros I'm not going to moan about people smoking in the loos at half time as much, there was one with a sly fag on the go near us in the crowd at every Euros match despite it being just as against the law as in England and Wales.

My seat is about 2 away from the corporate seats. Apparently I get first dids on any other non season ticket seats instead.

I'm just assuming they'll mess up their CL campaign. Celtic can definitely end up in our group. If they lose their CL 3rd Qualifier they go into the EL Play Off Round and will need to win to get to the EL Group Stages, OR if they win in this round of the CL and then lose their CL Play Off game they drop directly into the EL Group Stages, and their coefficient of 35.335 will almost certainly put them in Pot 2 - ours is 16.756, likely to be Pot 3 (it was last year). Plus the restriction on playing teams from the same nation doesn't apply because it refers to UEFA nations, so England/Scotland/N Ireland/Wales are treated as independent nations for the purposes of football.

Not sure about Zenit, not so keen on us maybe playing Anderlecht or Fenerbahce, and I've been to Braga - but it was decent and a mad ground, if a relatively long way from the town. Every possibility Sparta Prague or Monaco could pop up in Pot 1 (or failing that Pot 2) as well, and I quite fancy those. Steaua again would just be annoying.

Joking aside I'd love to get a draw like that or Israel although would be put off by high costs. I've done a fair few of the grounds so rather than pick new places my thoughts are more around which grounds I'd like to see Saints in.

Not too many surprises that would change my predictions too much. In terms of the UK/RIO teams - -Aberdeen probably 50/50, will have to score in Slovenia to have any chance -West ham should overturn NK Domzale's first leg league in their first game at the Olympic Stadium, especially as they have an away goal -Cork will need to replicate Dundalk's heroics to get through vs Genk (1-0 down).

The9 Posted 3 August, 2016 Share Posted 3 August, 2016 (edited) Just for a quick heads up, last year coefficients above 52 were Pot 1, 32-51 Pot 2, 15-31 Pot 3 and below 15 Pot 4. Ours is 16.756 this year. I'm still fairly sure we'll be in Pot 3. There are always loads of CL sides with higher coefficients, but there are also loads of EL qualifiers who can't be ranked above us and we only need 12 of them to get through to fill up Pot 4. Thursday night will be interesting but the draw for the EL and CL Playoff Rounds will tell us how many upsets we actually need for Pot 3.

suewhistle Posted 4 August, 2016 Share Posted 4 August, 2016 Monaco would be very dull. Besides I've been to watch football there. Many, many years ago (er... nearly 40, come to think of it) I got a cheap flight via dad (who was BA) and had a few days in Nice. Wandered over to Monaco on the train for a mooch, see the marine museum etc. By pure chance I noticed a poster on a ramshackle open ground and found out they were playing Nice that evening so got a cheap ticket, and then got the train full of football fans back to Nice that night. Chatting to the lads on the open terraces they were telling me that the team only survived based on money from the casino, and judging by the small derby crowd that seemed true. I don't want Anderlecht for similar reasons (1977 Chanson d'Amour, dumdiduddidum..) although Brussels is a nice enough city. Apart from those, anywhere in Italy, Spain or somewhere easy to get to. I've got nothing against exotic locations but they do appear a bit expensive to get to and as I like to wander around on my own have to use a bit of common-sense. Given the homophobia and nasty types there perhaps not Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
