    The only team being punished if we have to play PSV is us.

    It's a mess, but rules are rules. They should have known he was banned and shouldn't have played.

    He played a huge part in the game. Other teams have forfeited games for much less.

    Latest I’m seeing is that Mitfdl…… Midjtl@&£ ….

    …. the Danish side were told by uefa BEFORE the game .. that he couldn’t play … but ignored that.

    If that’s the case then it’s straightforward surely ?!?

    (although half the next round being played complicates things)

    Some form of cL participation should be ours.

    It would be more embarrassing to get to Champions League Play-Offs and get hammered. I’ll be honest & say we should forget about Europe this year & focus on the league. Win it this year & we’re automatically in Champions League Grouo Stage next year. That’s what we want

    If that is the case (and I really haven't read up on this too much), then they will surely get hammered for it. I'd imagine they will be removed from the tournament, I'd expect PSV to go through by default (personally wouldn't want the chance to get pumped by them, nor would that be fair on PSV to have to face a different team for a second leg) and perhaps some sort of compo would be made, but doubtful.
    Think the best we would get would be a "* sorry lads"

    I think it might just have been the wording in what I read as the same report (can’t link) said later in that the news came just before the PSv game…:39:

    Either way…. Somebody has messed up big time.

    Us vs PSV, neutral site next week - winner advances, loser goes into the Europa. Easy.

    We need European money, we can put the second choice team into the el games for all I care but we easily could perform on both fronts with a manager who uses his squad (unlike Lennon)

    Suppose that could be an "award" to us, let PSV progress in the UCL, but we get the spot that the loser of that tie would have in Europa - which would skip us a round as well ?
    Would also then allow the prague side to progress as well.

    Now if they've known before hand the only possible thing is to cancel all there results and we will need to just squeeze in 2 games vs psv.

    Would probably be a benefit to us, getting pumped regardless, but would be 2 extra "free" games to be used to get players up to speed.

    I would just think it is massively unfair on PSV since they already played last night and won 3-0, would be harsh to then tell them they need to play against a different team, forgetting that result etc.


    More I think on it, the more I reckon PSV should be let through, but we should take Midjytlland position as the loser of the tie - so we jump ahead in the Europa rounds. That's a win on our current position for sure.

    With PSV already 3-0 up and looking very good to advance into the final qualifier surely they are going to go mental if they are told their result against the Danes is now null and void and they are going to have to play Celtic instead. Someone somewhere should have noticed this before PSV played the Danes, it would have been straight forward at that point, the Danes punted and Celtic take their place. With PSV already 3-0 up, its a mess. Anyone know what the actual rules are in this situation? They will just have to play it by the book.

    Tbh if Midjytland do go out, I think I'd prefer us just getting guaranteed EL football rather than face PSV, would not be pretty games.

    Even facing them we would have guaranteed European football. I'd rather the chance we was robbed of to make the champions league.

    Was/is it the case that the loser of this PSV/Midjytlland game goes directly in to Europa Group?

    I would honestly still find it pretty brutal on PSV though, to wipe their 3-0 win last night.
