Didn’t see. But it does bring up the fact that the continued central contracting of the play-off round is looking more and more anomalous - with only 12 teams in it and no clubs from the biggest countries now it is something tv companies are mostly fulfilling as a contractual obligation. RTE gave a 15 minute slot for build up last night (and that was with Rangers v PSV, probably the pick of a not terribly attractive bunch of ties). I don’t think it gets much better under the new format next year either.
