That Hun own goal is a work of art. 

Does this mean that they steal 50% of our well deserved Euro cash if we win tomorrow?

60% apparently

I think the best way to look at it is, that their loss from Chumps League to this will hurt them greater than the 60% drop of TV money does for us. Granted we've pumped a lot of money into this team, but they would've probably budgeted on the worst case scenario (conference and another player in the mix).

Help me understand that. If we play in the same euro competition as the Huns we lose tv money? So do Celtic gain by rangers not being in the champs league? And would it then better serve us to be the only group stage euro conference team then??? Don’t understand this…

More that they're getting less money by competing in the lesser competition. Focusing on the positive.

The prize funds in all competitions essentially go to the nation's FA* to be split between the teams in those tournaments. If the Huns had made the champions league they'd have got half (or maybe less than half for not being the automatic qualifier - I assume there must be some form of inherent bias added in for the biggest teams as always) of that tournament's pot. Now that the Huns are in Europa, it's probably more lucrative for us to be in the conference despite its lesser pot (assuming hearts don't turn their game around, and villa don't die prior to their game). I expect Dave has picked himself in the lineup tonight just to be sure. 

*I have always assumed that it goes to the FA, which would make sense given the split. The goal should be for that unearned money to be intercepted at that point and be evenly distributed amongst the clubs.

Nice to see some former dons playing pivotal roles in games in the EPL today. McKenna was rated man of the match on the beeb and Madison has kept up his good form form spurs so far.

NORTH Macedonia drew 1-1,  Italy would have lost if they had to play whole of Macedonia

Not sure the Macedonians really agree you on that one

Anyway, hunbos up 1-0 at killie in the league cup game.

[RicoS321]

1-2 to the Jambo scum. Would probably take them or Livingston at Hampden in the semi.

Tims lose in Europe again. 95th minute goal too. Excellent.

I see the barcodes won the terrorists derby. One of the least interesting results of the night.

I take a different view on that 

Excellent result and well worth the twenty year wait to appear on that stage.

1-1 going to extra time.

Novelty of the fluminese striker being called john kennedy.

[tom_widdows]

Said john kennedy scores what looks to be the winner, runs entire length of pitch, jumps over the advertising boards, climbs stairs to be mobbed by his supporters.....gets 2nd yellow and initially refused to leave the pitch.

Boca also down to 10 men

Lot of lazer pens being shone in players faces.

[Jute]

Standard Libertadores final with some decent football sprinkled amongst some brutal challenges and comical dives. Fulminense were better team and deserved to win over the piece.
