Qualification permutations

[niallers]

My head has just exploded.

Right,this is going to be massively complicated.

Rules say that's it's head to head, goal difference then goals scored.

Now,if Paris draw,IF,away to red star and we win 1 nil or by 2 against Napoli,we'll all have 9 points.

Now,Napoli will have a better head to head than Paris, Paris will have a better one against us and we'll have a better one against Napoli.

How the fuck will the powers that be work that one out?

 

Edit

Only way I can see is if the head to heads cancel out, goal difference would see Paris top on goal difference and us 2nd on goals scored.

[Grinch]

win 1-0, we're through, win by two goals we're through, anything else we're in the Europa league.

[niallers]

But if Paris only draw, Napoli will have a better head to head against Paris. That means they'll finish ahead of Paris. It's a complete cluster fuck to figure out.

[ZonkoVille77]

Basically, just beat Napoli. Achievable. 

[Ronnie Whelan]

Hope we win and red star beat these cheating cunts.

Simple.

I think your Edit reflects what happens. 

[Aventus]

If we beat Napoli 4-0 do we go top? 

[Bjornebye]

Just twat Napoli and fuck the rest?

 

 

[Turkish Delight]

If that happens the results against Red Star would be discounted and positions would be based on a mini league table from games between us, Napoli and PSG.

 

We'd have 6 points from those games and the others would have 5 so we'd win the group.

[Luckyhillkop]

How I understand it, if Napoli score, then we need to win by 2 clear goals. 

If Napoli don't score, 1 goal is enough.

 

An early 3 goals blitz please. That's the only way I can watch the game without my heart exploding.

[JustTosh]

We’ll score early. Then Napoli will score. We go on and score a 2nd but no help from Red Star. We can't find a way to put that final decisive ball in their net. We pass 80 mins still no 3rd goal. And then; Operation Anfield Explosion, 3-1! Sound familiar?

The bottom line:

No matter what happens in Belgrade we need to win. Loose or draw: We're out.

 

Scenario 1:

PSG looses in Belgrade: We're group winners with 1-0 or any 2 goal victory. We'll be 2nd if we win 2-1, 3-2 etc.

Scenario 2:

PSG draws in Belgrade: Group winners if we win. If its 2-1 or 3-2 doesn't matter.

Scenario 3:

PSG wins in Belgrade: We'll be 2nd in the group (behind PSG) with 1-0 or any 2 goal victory.

 

Capiche?

 

[VladimirIlyich]

Ignore the PSG game and just try to win. Simple really.

I know yeah. Understand a mini breakdown after the red Star game but last night? nah. Non-plussed. i expected us to lose. I would expect any team in the world to lose at PSG. No big deal. Just hammer Napoli. 

[KMD7]

Hope we get beat

[Dave D]

I have to say, could be the kick in the bollocks kind of game we need.

 

No point in fucking about

What's done is done. Now the squad just need to channel the Spirit of Aviva Stadium Dublin August 2018.
