Talk:UEFA Intertoto Cup

message: The article claimed (or at least suggested) that the club in a domestic league ranked directly below the clubs which qualify for a UEFA spot would be automatically entered into the Intertoto Cup. This is not the case, as the club itself has to apply before the end of the season. I have changed this, but I am not very good with wikipedia (or writing in general!) so if anyone wants to clear it up so it makes more sense it would be appreciated. 62.56.51.184 17:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Clubs have to apply for the competition and are not directly entered

message: I have never seen such a intransparent, meaningless application of tables to document soccer tables. Tables are supposed to make things graspable at a glance.
On a philosophical note: isn't the use of flags overdone on football pages? All this nationalism is getting to me. Overkill is definitely the use of regional flags on the entries for national teams, eg., "»Put your country here« national football team". What a waste of download time to boot.
Somebody put a halt to it, please!

replies: text: Nationality is an essential part of european cups and teams, even Sports in general. period. (maybe not in the US only sports) Oh, and the strange table must have been a result of copying it from other football pages, ... but indeed wasn't very usefull for the intertoto with 3 finals --LimoWreck 13:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't Portugal missing in the countries list? Leiria was a winner in 2004.
:According to the table Leiria was not winner but it was a runner-up. Changes made :)  Bruno18 01:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Country missing in list

message: The Winners by nation table shows which clubs have won this cup. Should the teams be organized alphabetically or is there another scheme that is more appropriate? Rballou 20:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The table gives priority to teams that finished in second place rather that alphabetical order. For example Netherlands, Poland, East Germany and Denmark have all won one cup but the Netherlands and Poland have two teams that were runners-up so they sit on top of E.Germany and Denmark.

replies: text: I should have clarified a bit: I was referring mostly to the "Winning clubs" column of the table. Currently France is listed as: "Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Guingamp, Bastia,..." and I was wondering if that list should be alphabetical. Rballou 14:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Oh, I see. In that case, yes, it should be ordered alphabetically unless there is a certain order that we are not aware of. Bruno18 14:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no "set" order, so alphabetical is probably the way to go. - Pal 14:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I have alphabetized the list. The German clubs includes prefixes like "FC" which I went ahead and treated as part of the name, although I am not sure if this is the proper way to handle that. Rballou 14:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Club listing

message: I have question. Was the Intertoto Cup reconized by UEFA in the 1960's? I don't see any relations of today's Intertoto Cup competition to its predecessor except the name. Back in those days the competition was more as a friendly for the participated clubs alone. On the other hand to today's edition in which the participated clubs can make an impact of the prestige of its national League in Europe. To make my point clear, I think that the 1960's winners are the winners of completely diffrent type of competition and shouldn't be included in the overall scope of this competetion.

thread_title:  The 60's Intertoto Cup 

message: With the Intertoto Cup being abolished this summer, I'm aiming to add to the existing pages (on the knock-out seasons of the 1960s) and create new pages for the seasons from the 1960s to the 1990s when  there were no knock-out rounds. This will fill the last-remaining 'gap' in the European football club competitions history, because the pages on the European Cup/Champions League, Cup-Winners' Cup, Fairs Cup/UEFA Cup and Super Cup are already complete. Only the InterToto remains to be documented on here.
It will be a slow process, but I aim to complete it by the end of July - the pages for the seasons under the direct jurisdiction of UEFA (from 1995 onwards) are already detailed but I will check them over from other websites, books and my own records. I will work from 1961 onwards chronologically.
I have not edited Wikipedia much, although I did revamp the Scottish rugby section last year - any help or advice as I'm going along will be much appreciated by myself, to keep me on the right course.
I would also add in reply to Aleksandr Grigoryev - the pre-1995 InterToto Cup can be regarded as the same as the old Fairs Cup: permitted and allowed by UEFA, but not administered by them to begin with.

thread_title: I Intend to Expand on Existing Season-by-Season articles, completing the InterToto Cup records

message: I have changed the section relating to the 1995 tournament and the reluctance of British teams to participate. While the information about the English situation is fine, I feel it was inaccurate to state the Scottish position was identical. There was indeed general reluctance (which has persisted since) amongst Scottish clubs to participate, with a lowly-ranked Partick Thistle the only entrant. However, the club were as I remember fairly enthusiastic volunteers, unlike their English counterparts. Having attended the two matches at Firhill that summer, I can vouch for the fact they certainly didn't field weakened teams either. In any case, the reference supplied in the article relates solely to England with no mention of Scotland so doesn't do anything to support the assertion, which I have therefore removed.
