I've dusted myself down and gone again, I should be respected for that even if it turns out Lierse lost 5-0.Originally Posted by redjk wrote on Sun, 10 May 2015 17:39

A 2-1 defeat for Lierse today which drops them to second in their play off group. An interesting scorer of Oud-Heverlee's first goal, John Bostock. A 23 year old with a great future behind him, Bostock is the youngest player to appear for Crystal Palace (he made his full debut for them at Ninian Park as a 15 year old in 2007) and Spurs (one year later).
Mind you I think spurs had about 20 midfielders around the club at that time so it will have been easy to have been "lost in the mix"Originally Posted by Loramski wrote on Thu, 14 May 2015 19:05
When does this play off saga end in Belgium?
When they all die?

Chelsea's Academy and DVP team both played down here a while back, they were huge and thrashed us in both games. Don't get me wrong, they played some great football too but I wouldn't have fancied distinguishing between who was impressing because of their relative physical strength in that age group and who was impressing because they had the talent to go all the way in the game.Originally Posted by redjk wrote on Fri, 15 May 2015 10:21
Who put the ball in the Eupen net?
Etien, Etien,
Who put the ball in the Eupen net?
Etien Velikonja,
Etien Velikonja, Etien Velikonja,
Who put the ball in the Eupen net?
Etien Velikonja.
It may turn out to be an own goal though so don't quote me on that. An equaliser last night that turned out to be in vain as Eupen scored two late goals to win 3-1 and relegate Lierse.
Is etien the leading scorer at the club by now?
From what I can make out he's joint top scorer with five goals.Originally Posted by redjk wrote on Thu, 21 May 2015 08:44

A couple of rumours linking Velikonja with KV Kortrijk, Tan's new club in Belgium. Seems to be some logic in this, chances are it would be a good move for both club and player. Me too, the play-offs at the top end of the table are far simpler than the labyrinthine relegation play offs.
If a club finishes in the top 6 they enter the Championship play off (play off 1) where each team starts with half the points they gained in the regular season rounded up to the nearest number. They then play each other twice with the first placed team winning the championship of Belgium. Points gained by rounding up are deducted in the case of a tie.
If a team finishes 7th-14th they enter the Europa League play off (play off 2). Teams ranked 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th enter group A while teams ranked 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th enter group B. Each team plays the other teams in their group twice and the winner of each group plays each other over two legs to determine the winners of play off 2. This team then plays a two-legged game against either the 4th placed or 5th placed team in play off 1, depending on whether the Belgian Cup winners finished in the top four of play off 1 or not.
The most recent European qualification rules that Wiki have are from 2010-11 but they're so straightforward I doubt they've been changed since. The Belgian champions and runners-up enter the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League. The Belgian cup winners (or the cup finalists if the Cup winners finished first or second in the league) qualify for the Europa League play off. The third placed team (or the fourth placed team if the Cup winners finished third in the league) qualify for the 3rd and last qualifying round while the winner of the game between the winner of play off 2 and the fourth placed team of play off 1 (or the fifth placed team if the Cup winners finished fourth) qualify for the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
Piece of piss.
It doesnt matter if you get the scores wrong as it is only you and I who read this and I never check any more...I just assume they are incorrect.Originally Posted by Loramski wrote on Mon, 22 June 2015 22:26
Another one slipped through the net.Originally Posted by Loramski wrote on Thu, 21 May 2015 08:53
By the way, the Belgian FA have asked me to set up a helpline next March as no one in Belgium understands their play off system either. Apparently, the only two people who do are me and Stephen Hawking.Originally Posted by Jimmy the Jock wrote on Tue, 23 June 2015 10:31
A heart attack of a headline but don't worry too much yet, it looks like another loan deal.

It's probably not important but can a window actually slam shut as Wales Online seem to be claiming? Surely once it's slammed you'd still need to do some manual work to actually shut it or have window designs changed recently?
Velikonja keeps coming back via the cat flap.Originally Posted by Loramski wrote on Sat, 15 August 2015 10:19
Just scored for Lierse. You'll have to keep an eye out yourselves for any more updates, I won't be on here for the rest of the evening. Bunting doesn't hang itself out.
Funnt as Cardiffi with footballing knowledge.Originally Posted by Loramski wrote on Fri, 04 September 2015 20:36
And another last night. There's only one word to describe him - goal scoring machine.
