[Albion] Marseille

[Bozza]

Has anyone found time to scour the UEFA rule book yet to determine if it's possible for us to play them again before the final?

 

[Helen Chamberlains Quim]

Not in the round of 16 for sure.

 

[Bodian]

USG & Union Berlin played each other in the round of 16 last year, despite being in the same group.

And this doesn't say we can't https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleag...at-is-it-where-to-watch-it-who-are-the-teams/.

And there are no restrictions in the round of 8.


Or have I been whooshed?

Not in the round of 16 for sure.

Thanks.

Big relief. Huge.

I don't want to go have to relive @Herr Tubthumper's gastronomic adventures again.

 

[Stat Brother]

As I didn't go first time round, what's the best way to get there?

 

[Flounce]

Well at least we avoid Galatasaray and Zaha

 

[Albion in the north]

I reckon we can

How do they do the draw if some teams can’t play each other then?

 

[London Irish]

It's going to be them again isn't it - save Pedro for that one

 

[Rookie]

God no, not again. Done it and ticked it off the list don’t want to rush back

I can advise AGAINST flying into Geneva, finding your booked-and-paid-for hotel has given all their rooms away, spending a fortune on a raxi trying to find a new hotel, to find the one you end up with has one room left, with a small double bed and a single bunk. For three of you.

Also, I can advise against getting lost in the old port area of Marseille and absolutely pranging your brand new rental car against something.

And watch out for the youths who ask you "English? English? f*** off Brighton!" as you try to get into the multi-storey carpark where your car was left.

Hope this helps.

Just you wait until we draw Freiburg!

The only teams that can't play each other are those from the same national associations. I presume they have to have various pots or something. Interesting.

Incorrect

 

[Zeberdi]

Not in the round of 16 for sure.

Where is that written in the rules? Do you have a link?

The group winners play the runner up winners and the only stipulation afaik in the draw is that no teams from the same association can play each other in the round of 16 ( In the event two teams were picked from the same association, they would presumably redraw the balls. Edit - scrap that!)

 

[Sheebo]

I’m prob missing the joke on the thread but it’s adding to the confusion…

 

[Albion Robster]

Any chance of being allowed to booze or cruise down to the Old Port in Marseille

It’s seeded v unseeded except for the same football association
