[Albion] FA Cup QF Draw Wed 1.3.23

[RM-Taylor]

If Man Utd / Man City qualify for the champions league places within the league, do the FA Cup finalists get the European place up for grabs?

Asking for a friend.

FA Cup winners qualify for the Europa League, the runners up get nothing except the competition money

 

[Ding Dong !]

Glad it's at our Plaice

If Man Utd / Man City qualify for the champions league places within the league, do the FA Cup finalists get the European place up for grabs?

Asking for a friend.

Europa League, I think.

 

[Carlos BC]

Well bugger me.

Filthy beast

 

[Greg Bobkin]

The Haddocks at home!

Yep, they're coming to our plaice!

 

[el punal]

It cod have been worse. Good that it's at our plaice.

Yes, and hopefully we’ll have a whale of a time!

 

[Bodian]

Well bugger me.

My very same words!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Glad it's at our Plaice

For cod's hake. One minute too late!

 

[zefarelly]

Couldn’t have asked for much better than that!

Must be a fix though, big 3 prem teams all drawn at home!

VARcical, anyone would think Brian Rix did the draw

or just luck. It was for us.

 

[Weststander]

Fantastic, as I’d hoped.

They’ll bring the full 4,000, I hope, mutual respect too between the supporters. Great to touch base with the olde Captain again.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I still remember Michael Keane scoring that pen against us and for no reason at all running behind the goal shouting "GOING DOWN".

They also got relegated. And he was on loan.

What a tosser.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

You have to win the FA Cup to get into Europe. Nothing for runners up. Changed it.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Would have been nice for a Manc derby, but nevermind!

Save that for the semis

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

So almost certainly our home game against Man City to add to the rescheduled league games

 

[ManOfSussex]

Anyone know when the TV picks and therefore dates of the QFs are announced?

 

[hart's shirt]

With the exception of City and United not being drawn together, it was the perfect draw for us.

And at least one guaranteed Championship side in the Semi-Finals.

1983's Semi-Finalists...Arsenal (Tier 1), Manchester United (Tier 1), Brighton (Tier 1), Sheffield Wednesday (Tier 2).

So it's...
1. Beat Grimsby
2. Get drawn against another Tier 2 side in Sheffield United or Blackburn, then win
3. 40 years on, we play a Manchester side in the Final?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Fantastic, as I’d hoped.

They’ll bring the full 4,000, I hope, mutual respect too between the supporters. Great to touch base with the olde Captain again.

Palace on the preceding Wednesday…lots to look forward too.

 

[Mackenzie]

The last time I went to a Brighton v Grimsby game must have been 88ish at the Goldstone, I was one of about a 4000 attendance watching Gary Chivers make his home debut.

it ended 0-0

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Europa League, I think.

If the FA Cup winners qualify for the Champions League then the Europa League place goes to the next highest league position to not qualify. This would normally be 6th place.

The FA cup runners up haven’t been given the European spot for quite a few seasons now.

 

[Invicta]

Looking forward to this one ! Never have a better chance.
