So, if all the calculations fall the right way, which would you rather? The Gunts win the cup and we get UEFA football. Or Gretna lift the cup and we go Intertototastic?

Intertoto for me. All the way. Come on you Gretna!

blue toon hibby · 24-04-06, 14:44

Would be delighted to see Gretna beat "The Big Team" but I want Uefa Cup football for Hibs next season, therefore the first option for me. I can live with it.

Just imagine the laughing stock that lot would be if they lost to Gretna. I tell you it would be worth the additional games entailed in Intertoto qualification.

**DarrenSQH** · 24-04-06, 15:02

Both options sound good.

bumblebee · 24-04-06, 15:09

The way I see it - the draw we have for the intertoto is pretty easy! If we don't get through that then we will do nothing in the UEFA cup anyway!

I can take the extra 4 matches if it means Hearts humliate themselves!

C'MON GRENTNA! I believe in faiy tales!!!

ks04 · 24-04-06, 15:11

Can you imagine how unbearable they will be if they win the cup, and through them winning it we get into europe, there won't be any living with them.

Definately the 2nd option for me.

**bigmanandy** · 24-04-06, 15:14

intertoto all the way for me never want to see the yams win

**wee 162** · 24-04-06, 15:51

If it was all or nothing in terms of qualifying for Europe I'd maybe want them to win the cup. But it isn't. The Intertoto is a well plausible route to get into the first round of the UEFA cup and we are a distinct possibility to actually get a harder draw in the prelminary round of the UEFA than the draw for the Intertoto. So feck them.

Not that what I hope will make any difference anyway....

Does the intertoto not just take you into the prelim round of the UEFA now seeing as there are so many places available!!

BurbankHibee · 24-04-06, 15:57

Gretna all the way.

We'd play one qualifying round to get into the UEFA Cup with option 1 (two matches) or two ties to get there from Intertoto Cup...

Gretna the whole way, I even fancy going to the game in the Gretna end with a wee sneaky Hibs flag.

**JamieHibby** · 24-04-06, 16:21

Gretna for the Cup

scumbos finish 3rd ( miss out on th CL and go bust

)

Hibs in the intertoto

part/time supporter · 24-04-06, 16:24

How about the best of both worlds?

Huns lose their last three games
Hibs win their last three games
Gretna win the cup
Hearts get papped out of the CL in the 2nd prelim round (nae uefa parachute)

so:

Hibs and Gretna in uefa cup
Hearts out of Europe before the "glorious 12th"
Nae Huns in Europe

Pretty certain it's one more tie in Intertoto Cup than if we got into UEFA cup via the league.

There Was Never Any Danger That You Would Be The Only Hibs Fan Who Fancied Seeing The Gunts Cop A Doing From Gretna.
Tell Me Though, Why Do You Go To The Effort Of Capitalising All Your Posts, Or Is Your Word Processor Stuck On Title Case?

Just Wondering….

last time was an easy draw and we lost it! Therefore we would have done nothing in the UEFA that season!!!

Why don't you maybe have a read before opening your trap you stupid yam f*ck wit! Away and rim Hartley tit!!

that would be perfect, dont think it will happen but i believe we can get 3rd.

jockodile · 25-04-06, 13:06

realistically gretna should stand no chance, the best we can hope is that somehow we benefit through a hearts win, which we shoud as it stands

personally though i will be backing gretna all the way next month.
