back to the cardiff issue, the FA are looking into it and given the examples below i do think they have a case - ok berwick rangers are unlikely to ever get in europe but derry city regulary play in europe representing the FAI when they are based in Northern Ireland....

Cardiff could cite several examples to support their case including:

* Derry City - Based in Northern Ireland but since 1985 have been playing in the Republic of Ireland's competitions and are regarded as a Republic of Ireland club. When they qualify for Europe, they play as a Republic of Ireland team.
* AS Monaco - Based in Monaco, where they are the only side, but play in the French League.
* Berwick Rangers - Based in England but play in the Scottish League and would be accepted as a Scottish club if they qualified for Europe.

Its rubbish when you hate both teams in the final. Really don't want either Rangers or Dundee United to lift the cup

They're only hanging on for one last pay day from the Celtic game. Not that that bothers me at all, I hate the Old Firm, but if they can't play Aberdeen because the players won't play without pay and insurance, why would they be in any better position for the Celtic tie? Particularly when someone breaks in and steals their food and kits...

Edit: I should have thought what I was saying. Obviously they'll be better off for the Celtic game with the money they'll make, but from what I gather, it's going to be a drop in the ocean for them now.

What a fucking let-down Werder Bremen have been. Rangers gave the ball straight back to them the whole game and yet they insisted on alternately trying to pass it through the 10 players the Huns had behind the ball and hitting pointless shots from 30 yards. Very much a team lacking a proper striker.

Incidentally, it was still nice to see Barry Ferguson giving the ball away and just generally having the game totally bypass him. Top class player my arse.

a good stat from bbc news live text service:

Werder Bremen: 34 shots, 18 corners. Rangers: 4 shots, 2 corners.

Disappointed by Werder Bremen. They've got some fantastic players, they should have easily beaten Rangers for both legs.
