It'd be 12.5 wouldn't it? 9 points for the wins and 3.5 for the 7 draws. So 3.125 for the season so far.
Yup, already beaten our total for 2015/16 in the beginning of August.

We do move on and it is a very good piece of business given the big man was only here for a season. But then I see the possibility of Scott McKenna being sold for around £4m ! Good luck Aberdeen if they get that - but if they do then it maybe highlights that had we held on to Kipre then we could have got more down the line.
At the same time we could have gotten much less to almost nothing. £1m to Aberdeen means a lot less than it does to us, and if we get that sort of offer for a 1 season player (who wasn't looking anywhere near his former self in pre-season), we have to take it. We talk a lot about the perceived "value" of players, but at the end of the day, every club has a price they're willing to sell everyone at, and ours is lower than Aberdeen's (and most clubs know that).
I'm really gutted to see Cedric go, but he's the first one we've let go in a long time that I actually feel has the natural ability to make it to the EPL, just as long as he applies that talent fully. Would love to see him bodying Salah in a couple of years.

That's club coefficient, for whether your team gets seeded or not. Country coefficient is still based on each games result: https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method5/ccoef2019.html

Not really, but its cool to be mentioned in a video like this. I just like giving kudos to the young guys whenever I can, I remember my time as a season ticket holder in the mid-late 90s when I was younger in a dreary atmosphere, wishing we had something like what they do now to liven up the place. Although we sat in the main stand so shit like that was never going to happen there.

Icelandic fans giving Motherwell credit for their 'Viking' chant in this half million viewed video(3:10). We can't help but be viral sometimes these days, great job to the Bois in the East Stand. Over here in North America, even the American Football fans are copying it now, Minnesota Vikings call it the Skol chant.

The transformation in this club over the last 6 months has been nothing short of remarkable. Full credit to Stephen Robinson, Alan Burrows and everyone that worked so hard behind the scenes to make this possible. And thank you to the players that made it possible too. Days like today don't come along often for fans of clubs like ours, I'm off to the pub to enjoy it a bit more.

And there's our centre-half, Peter Hartley on loan from Blackpool for the year. Weird one as he's just signed there.

Thats Grimshaw signed up, with one more coming within the hour. Wonder if the other ones a centre-half or if we're thinking McHugh will be slotting back in there with Grimshaw taking his place.

Yeah...2 points (1 for each win) divided by the 4 teams. 0.5 points extra. Points for wins/draws are doubled in the group stages.
Yea, don't know what I was thinking there...

0.125 overall points, as the 0.5 points they would gain is divided by the 4 teams taking part.

During those 25 games Rangers got past Fiorentina in the Europa League semi final and competed in the final. Those games alone probably scored more points than any other club outside Celtic in the past 5 seasons combined so it's a bit harsh to attach too much blame to Rangers, especially considering the nation was ranked as high as it was mainly due to the efforts of two teams. Most of the blame has to go to the other ten clubs who consistently go out in qualifiers to teams they should probably be winning against.
Anyway's... massive congratulations to Aberdeen for advancing to the next round. Them being in Europe this season, from a purely selfish perspective, can only be good for Rangers. One, if they qualify for the groups it's a distraction from the league and two, the coefficient points could help Rangers' seeding when we qualify for next season. Hibs were unlucky but Hearts? well, that's my point, the other clubs aren't pulling their weight for the most part.
The Old Firm have been equally as culpable at that, so let's agree to say that none of us have been pulling our weight as much as we could. That being said though, if we deride the clubs for losing to unseeded sides, praise must then be heaped on those that overcome their seeded opponents so Aberdeen's 3 years in a row of doing just that should be applauded. They must be one of the only clubs in Europe to have done accomplished something like that.

Yea this is the same Rangers team that won only 1 of their last 25 games in Europe, they were a big part of us falling down the rankings like we did.

Because it's a 5 year average, also the reason we're still up their as we got a shit ton of points just for being in the CL qualifiers, regardless of the result. Its why its good to see Aberdeen making Europe time after time, most seasons its been musical chairs for the teams outwith the old firm for who qualifies, and leads to our clubs having poor club coefficients and poor seedings. If they make it next season Aberdeen will finally be seeded in QR2, and if they get to playoffs both seasons, there's a good chance the season after that they'll be seeded in QR3.
Hibs would've gotten some club coefficient points for being in the next round, but the country wouldn't receive any, and its unlikely the extra points for them will make a difference any time soon.

Getting all those 3.5 points would have us at 2.75 right now and clearly in 1st place in Europe as of right now. Every country that's gunning for the top 15 has teams dropping points early to teams they shouldn't. We're in a much better position this season than Poland and Norway and about an equally good position as Sweden.
Celtic really need to make a good run this year though. Club coefficient-wise they're about to lose their 12/13 season which will drop them way down the rankings. The past seasons they're been seeded basically the whole way to the group stages, next year the might not even be seeded in the 3rd round.

Well Hibs have done it now at least, 1 extra point than I thought they would get for sure.

Do points count for 90 minute results or for the full extra time? Regarding Hibs
It's the result after extra time that counts. When Motherwell lost to Stjarnan 3-2 AET, it counted as a loss for the coefficient.

Same place they loaned João Mario and Ruben Semedo to. Hopefully can follow what both those guys did and come back and win a first team spot.

I'm liking this thread: http://www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=95187 where they mostly seemed to have voted for McHugh to be their next captain until today.

Yea but, I believe the contract extension wasn't offered 60 days before his current one expires, which leaves him free to Join an English team(or other FA), for no compensation.

Sometimes when people tell me secrets I tell other people them too if they are higher up on the friendship scale.
Maybe I'm a bad man or maybe Catlin just wasn't as liked as Lyanna I don't know.
Catelyn could have and probably was more liked by the time the show starts but at the time he made the promise, he's only ever really seen her once, the night they got married. Over the years he grew to love Catelyn, but it would take a long time for her to surpass Lyanna I think, at which point he might have been waiting to tell Jon first.

Not transfer news but I find it pretty cool that the Icelandic viking chant being showcased in the Euros, they borrowed off of Stjarnan, who got it from us: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/the-origin-of-iceland-s-incredible-viking-war-chant-motherwell-1.2702816?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I've always been a big fan of the theory that Jon Snow = Azor Ahai reborn and the way they handled the finale has me completely convinced that the theory is spot on.
Has Azor Ahai been mentioned in the show at all? In the books with the whole bleeding star, salt and smoke shit it's pretty blatant but prophecy has been barely touched upon in the show, they even cut the valonqar bit from Cersei's one.

re: Sansa and Theon surviving
I've never gotten this fascination people have with Gendry, he's a pretty cool character sure but narratively unimportant. Jon Snow shows how little is thought of recognized b*****ds in Westeros, never mind unrecognized ones, and with his Dad deid, there's no way to legitimize him now. He could maybe show up to get burned by Melisandre, but if it would just be for that, I'd rather he stayed on his boat.
Season 6 casting shit (spoiling just in case people don't want to hear about this):
Casting for next season indicates Theon's Uncle's might be in after all, hope they don't f**k up Euron and Victarion like they did Dorne.

Not this season, 0.5 points for a loss in the qualifying rounds.
