Better than last year, but still looks like shit.

A single Liga II with 18 teams and satellites banned from playing in it should be a top priority.

I'll be cheering for Altay Constanta.

 

why will they start with minus 8 points?

 

why will they start with minus 8 points?

They didn't meet the 22 point quota in Divizia A this year. They only had 14 points, meaning an 8 point deduction.

This deduction will cripple their chances of promoting next year. If they happen to be a middle of the pack team next year, then an 8 point deduction could knock them down to the 3rd league. The quota is moved up to 25 points this upcoming season, but that's because there will be more games 34 instead of 30.

 

oh i see... nice idea imo... it gives them more to do to get up again

 

Gloria II Bistrita has sold its Liga II place to Unirea Dej. This transaction has been confirmed by FRF -> link

 

I can't wait for the 1st FC Brasov-Forex game. :boxing:

Looks interesting with a third Brasov team possibly in there too.

And I still think the points deduction rule is a crap rule! :yuck:

 

Points deduction rule is a great one to have. It avoids match fixing by already relegated teams.

 

There's a lot of debate about this but I think this is a good rule. I know some people say that penalyzing a team just because they suck is harsh. But the league is trying to fight agaist match fixing, and this is the best way to combat it.

There are some that propose using fines instead of deducting points for not meeting the quota. But that won't work, because other teams could offer to pay those fines to a team like Bacau if they throw the game away.

It may seem harsh, but this quota reduces match fixing for team that has already relageted and it gives those teams an incentive to play hard the last games of the season.

 

very true... i also support this rule

 

me too. every team should fight in it's game, it doesen't matter if it is already relegated.

 

I saw the first half of Liga 1 schedule in that thread, I was just wondering if anything has been mentioned about Liga 2 games?

Or are the teams still getting the licensing sorted out?

Yes.

Prefabricate Modelu, you must cheer a team with that name!

 

Yeah, thats right....we have some funny team names in Liga II!!!
Building Vanju Mare is on of them.....in my holidays...a few yeahr ago (3, i think) i saw them in (Oltul Slatina - Building Vanju Mare)!!
Great showww....!!!!!!

 

This is nothing. My favourite team name is Happy End Camenca. A few years ago they had an meteoric appearence in the Moldavian first division. Just imagine thousands of fanatic supporters, with bloodshot eyes, screaming their lungs out: "Happy End! Happy End! Happy End!" :howler:

Anyway, back to the topic. The draw for Liga II will take place next Tuesday (July 25th) at 10:00 Romanian time. The draw for Liga III will take place the same day at 13:00.

 

This must be the first time that Tulcea has a team in the second division since I've started following football.

 

HAppy end....)))))))))
hahahahahaha

 

This must be the first time that Tulcea has a team in the second division since I've started following football.

Delta Tulcea was relegated to Divizia C in 1989, after finishing dead last in their group. They are back after 17 years.

 

Don't you know if they have any solid financial backup or are they doomed to relegate?

 

I think they are pretty much doomed:

Ziarul Obiectiv Tulcea

Noul cuplu de antrenori, C. Gaghe - principal si C. Rusu - secund au la dispozitie cam acelasi lot de jucatori, dar subtiat vizibil prin plecarile lui Gae (destinatie necunoscuta) si mai ales cuplul de fundasi centrali Petcu si Voicu (retrasi la Mangalia pentru a deveni... pompieri). S-a mai renuntat la I. Radu care a ramas in afara lotului si la alti jucatori care au venit in probe, dar au fost respinsi din lipsa de valoare. Asta e, putini, dar buni!

Ziarul Acum Tulcea

Cat priveste echipa Delta Tulcea, performera Diviziei "C" in sezonul precedent in care a fost prima promovata, echipa cu cele mai multe puncte si echipa cu cele mai multe goluri inscrise din tot fotbalul romanesc, pe langa cronica lipsa a banilor, buget promis nici la jumatate din necesarul participarii in Divizia "B" si o obisnuinta de acum lehamite a mediului de afaceri tulcean pentru fotbal, noutatile sunt ca nu s-a concretizat nici un transfer de jucatori pentru a intari lotul, dar in schimb s-au pierdut doi jucatori care si-au anuntat retragerea din activitate: Cristi Petcu si Adrian Voicu, ambii fundasi.
Din ultima bruma de bani ramasa in contul clubului, echipa va pleca in cantonament in judetul Brasov, intamplator in aceeasi zi in care la pranz, probabil la Sala Mihail Kogalniceanu, va avea loc o intalnire cu oamenii de afecri potential sponsori ai echipei pentru a li se cere sprijinul sa nu ne facem de tot ransul in Divizia "B".

So did Tractorul Brasov become a sattelite team of Poli (but still based in Brasov) or did the team move outright to Timisoara as well?

Just curious........

 

Moved to Timisoara.

 

Nooo, no more Tractorul? I liked them, it was a team that could run over their rivals :howler:
