RE: This Was Team Really?! Well I stand corrected but I'm amazed, especially as they only won narrowly. I suspect that it was like a training game for them though.
Didn't realise they were still allowed to compete in the Welsh FA Cup I take it that it's just that they can't take up a European place
surely they do if they win-UEFA Cup spot but only for welsh teams-I think Kidderminster entered one year but couldn't have taken it even if they'd won
I think since formation of the League of Wales then those teams that compete in the English leagues are not allowed to take a Welsh UEFA cup place.
this thread throws some light on it apparently if Cardiff ever won the FA Cup or finished in the top 4 of the Prem they wouldn't qualify for Europe</p> http://forum.football.co.uk/about1122.html</p>
