Asian Champions League 1 and 2 thread

Monoethnic Social Club said:
What is the precedent? That you dont even have to win the GF to go to Asia? What about making the Semi final, do they get automatic entry to?

If Heidelberg does get to go to Asia the ones that would feel the most hard done by and justifiably so would be Sydney Croatia. Why didnt the FA apply for them to go?

And do you think Arsenal will give one fuck if they win the UCL, even though they were not champions of their country, like LFC done?
I do detect jealousy in your replies. But hey, you are beating Bula 4-1, levels and all that.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Don't you consider people of Greek or North Macedonian ancestry as Australian?

Its such a shame these attitudes still exist... hope the hate dies with you.

Another question is, do all people of Greek and North Macedonian ancestry consider themselves as Australian?

Yes, i know you do, but..............................

Imagine if South Melbourne ended up qualifying for ACL2, they'd be playing in both AFC and OFC, and doing it from a state level! That'd be one hell of a story.

There's no guarantee that South Melbourne will be playing in OFC Pro League again next season and even if we ended up qualifying for AFC Champions League Two we can't be playing in both competitions because the squad is too shallow to be balancing continental football across two separate confederations of vastly different standards with NPL Victoria, Dockerty Cup and Hahn Australia Cup fixtures.

Yes I do, but as I asked again, I thought these were Aussie clubs, not clubs south of Mount Olympus or are Cypriots.

I believe Mono was referring to the culture of the clubs rather than their actual geographic location. “South of Mount Olympus” (the tallest mountain in Greece) would refer to parts of Greece that aren’t from Greek Macedonia, while Cypriots would refer to Greek Cypriots, the Greeks that live in Cyprus (or perhaps Turkish Cypriots, the Turks of Cyprus). Obviously the clubs themselves are located in Melbourne, Sydney, et cetera, however.

Rubbish... Whats next your going to tell me with a straight face that Dunfermline should play in Europe next year if Celtic beat them in the cup final?

Throw whatever bullshit accusations around you want, truth is we both know what's what.

Damn good question, and if I can answer seriously for brief moment.

Don't you think that they (we) have earned the right to answer for themselves rather than be told by others what they can or can't feel?

I think we have committed to 5 season of OFC Pro.... could be wrong though.

Dunfermline will play in Europe if they win the Final. It wasn't that long ago they would have as runners up. Under AFC rules, Heidelberg have qualified, pending meeting ground regulations.

Not my point. I have said this to you in the past, but most people of effnick background in NSW , do not identify as Australians, even if their parents were born here as well. Wee Segecic rings a bell.

Sorry mate, but either Im wrong or you are: Top flight (at loeast to AFC) means the Aleague.. its the FA who offered the ACL2 spot to the Australia Cup winner... but to the WINNER not runner up.... Heidelberg have qualified under FA's changed "rules" but my question is why change them for Heidelberg and NOT Sydney Croatia who wre in teh same spot a few years ago, and also why change them at all unless its to piss off the Aleague?

AFC Champions League Two (ACL2) licensing requires clubs to meet strict criteria under the AFC Club Licensing Regulations (Edition 2026), encompassing sporting, infrastructure, personnel, legal, and financial standards. Clubs must finish in the top 50% of their top-flight domestic league, demonstrate a two-year association membership, and have a compliant stadium
