[Football] Union Saint-Gilloise

[Hugo Rune]

Union 2-0 down after 6 minutes at home to Cercle Brugge...

Just like watching Albion in the Championship play-offs.

How many times will USG smash the league but miss out on the title in the play-offs. They are almost done this year.

The English Championship/L1/L2 play offs system could be adapted to give a lot more weight in finishing in the top, middle or bottom play off spots than present system.

You could do it by keeping same number of games. 4 play off games, 1 final game.

In say championship.

3rd place goes straight to Wembley final.

6th plays 5th over 2 legs with 5th having second leg home advantage.

The winner plays 4th over 2 legs with 4th having second leg advantage.

Winner plays 3rd at Wembley.

6th 5th have 4 games and 2 ties to get to Wembley final, 4th has 2 games and 1 tie to final, 3rd straight to final.

Still gives 6,5,4 a chance but league position would matter a lot more.

That's a decent shout and not a million miles from how Rugby League works to determine the super league champions.

We must be the only club who has a feeder club who doesn’t get the best player from said feeder club.

 

[Slum_Wolf]

1-2 at halftime...

 

[Si Gull]

1-3. Typical, momentum of the regular season ruined by the playoffs.

They aren’t the a feeder club. It was never Blooms intention for them to be anything other than another part of his football portfolio.

We got their top scorer two seasons ago and wanted Boniface over the summer but weren’t allowed to sign him due to the UEFA ruling. Two of their best players over the last few seasons have also been players we’ve loaned to them.

 

[Si Gull]

2-3 final score. Playing catchup the whole game. Frustrating.

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Finished 2-3...now, if Club Brugge can manage to beat Anderlecht at home then Union will stay top...

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Still top...Anderlecht away next. If Club Brugge and Genk both win next week it could start to get very interesting...

 

[Slum_Wolf]

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Union 1-1 at Anderlecht with 20 to go... Anderlecht down to 10 men...

 

[Uh_huh_him]

well that's torn it

anderlecht 2-1 Union

13 to go

 

[Si Gull]

2-1 full time. All going pear-shaped.

So we can't sign USG players?

 

[nwgull]

So we can't sign USG players?

Not this season.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

So we can't sign USG players?

Not until the January transfer window (technically we might get a day to do a deal if the summer window closes on Sept 1st).

Taken from the following link - https://www.uefa.com/news-media/new...-decisions-on-multi-club-ownership-cases-for/

The clubs will not transfer players to each other, whether permanently or on loan, directly or indirectly, until September 2024;

 

[Hiheidi]

West Ham can though

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Good news for Union tonight with Anderlecht losing 2-1 at Genk. Andi Zeqiri scoring a 91st minute penalty to clinch it after Anders Dreyer's equaliser for Anderlecht.

A win for Union tomorrow, back to the top...defeat would send Union down to third with Genk only a point behind in fourth.

 

[brighton terra]

Currently 0-2 down against Bruges……. who are down to 10 men!

Sadly, it looks like they're going to miss out.
