So, to repeat my question, what happens if we lose in the play off round?

The play-off round is referred to as the "4th qualifying round" in that list. We'd be one of the 6 teams to enter the Europa GS that way (4 from the Champions' path, 2 from the League path).

I think that '4th qualifying round' is synonymous with 'play off round'.

My goodness.

 

Can we lose against beatable teams?!

 

This puts football into a whole new light.

Is this not a discussion forum? You rightly say all the relevant teams are beatable. The reader, well me, starts to feel optimistic. @bustercomes along and rightly reminds me of previous disappointment. The optimism remains but tempered by recalled events.
 

I suppose if you were an absolute stickler for accuracy, you would have said all teams are beatable but the chances against the relevant teams are better than against CL group stage teams.

 

@busterwould still have been right with words of caution.

I never imagined that the term beatable would inspire such optimism!

 

I'll endeavour to pedantically caveat any such comment in future to save anyone getting carried away.

I suppose I could cavil with splitting an infinitive and using a noun as a verb, notwithstanding its Latin origin but this a forum for football fans so I suppress my inner pedant.

 

That pedant forbids the use of symbol to qualify a remark so for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing should be read as a lighthearted response and not didactic. You know what? The inner pedant can take a running jump. One of the wee picture thingies would have saved about fifty words.

I would take the following please :

 

  • We qualify for CL group stages
  • Drop from CL into Europa as 3rd placed finishers
  • Celtic finish 4th and drop out completely
  • We make the Europa final, meet Frankfurt, and exact revenge

 

If Carlsberg did the perfect Monday....
