[levets]

I guess so.. they specifically quoted those two seasons so they’ve backed themselves into a corner

Hope you’re right... but you know uefa

11:30am to 11:35am is it's allotted slot I believe.

A lot of the original cast can't make it so UEFA are providing two impartial adjudicators - Sepp and Michel.

 

[Chris in London]

What has this got to do with English football?

Would you prefer that the other divisions collapse and fuck off Colin?

All that history up in smoke, it is hard to say what you are really getting at tbh what with the scant explanation in your one sentence post.

As for Spain, they have more than two divisions, they have Segunda B that has 4 groups that still get promoted to La Liga Smartbank( or also known as Segunda Division)

Italy has 3 - Serie C

For what it's worth.

IIRC serie C is regional

 

[bluealf]

IIRC serie C is regional

Which also still promotes to Serie B?

Did you have any other input to divulge or an opinion on the subject or just this random comment?

 

[Dirty Harry]

It's my sisters fault, she was a big fan when she was young, mind you I do seem to recall Crazy Horses as being surprisingly good. That may be a rose tinted memory though.

Yes you’re right
It was rose tinted ;-)
Very very good song that, regardless .

It is scarcely random as it is a direct response to your point which if memory serves me was incorrect. Yes Serie C promotes to Serie B, and Serie B teams are relegated to Serie C. Pisa were relegated a few years ago. But (again IIRC) Serie C is divided into three regions.

Plus 30 secs for a collective wank before they deliver the guilty verdict

So what?

That just validates my point about them having more than just two division then, so I said 3 and added Serie C, shoot me.

It is still nothing to do with the main point of the discussion, which you didn't feel the need to elaborate further on but yeah thank you for the correction, cheers.

Why are you being so aggressive over this?

France:
2 professional national leagues
1 semi-professional national league
4 non-professional, largely regional leagues

Germany:
3 professional national leagues (of which the third can include reserve teams)
5 non-professional regional leagues

Spain:
2 national professional leagues
1 other professional league consisting of 4 groups each of 20 teams, some of which are the B teams of La Liga teams
The non-professional Tercera Division
A number of non-professional regional leagues

Italy:
2 professional national leagues
1 professional inter-regional league with 3 divisions, each with 20 teams.

So all of the above have just 2 fully professional national leagues composed of unique teams (as the German & Spanish 3rd divisions can include reserve teams of existing professional teams).

So our current set-up of 4 professional, non-regional leagues, none of which includes reserve teams, is out of sync with the other European leagues, which all seem to do OK without 4 national, professional divisions.

Strangely enough I was upstairs working from home when I posted that, I finished up at 9pm and came downstairs to find the wife watching The Voice and one of the contestants used it in the knockout rounds. That must be the first time I've heard it in decades, very eerie.

Funny how you don't reply to the reply I quoted you days ago but then jump back in off a quote to somebody else.

Aggressive lol it is just annoying when people do what you did and the exact same for the other guy.

You pop up with a one line post that is slightly snippy and don't engage the actual original post until pushed.
Okay you don't agree, I think if we lose the lower leagues it will harm football and it won't be the same again, you don't, move along.

We wouldn't be "losing" the lower leagues. We'd just be reconfiguring the league system. They'd still be there but they wouldn't be national professional leagues.

And to show I'm a generous spirit in these troubled times, can I direct you to something that might be helpful. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/controlling-anger/

If you get like this over a discussion about League 2 then what would you be like if someone cut you up while you were driving.

It does seem that some people aren't responding well to pressure, and there's more than enough pressure to go around for everybody. I think my road rage has actually decreased recently (and I really did have some), as it's sank in that we've got more serious things to worry about.

Notice that the DM has an article about UEFA and FFP being relaxed , but with a mention that it will not affect City in their issue with UEFA .

They just can't resist , or I could just be too sensitive ?

Relaxing rules now after such a financial hit on clubs to be fair should have fuck all to do with our case as it is from previous years.
