    EDIT: Turns out the matches where referees were bribed were in the domestic season. Unless the pending investigations show more evidence, it's unlikely any action will be taken against their two European victories.

    After match-fixing allegations, Porto have been found guilty of bribing referees in the 2003-2004 season and stripped of their place in next year's Champions League.

    This may lead to them forfeiting the Champions League title to runners-up AC Monaco, and possibly losing the 2002-2003 UEFA Cup to Celtic.

    They could also lose their previous league championship titles following more investigations.

    I'd like it replayed, with Collina refereeing it. * cheats.

    A replay where both teams have to field the players from 2003? :p That would be great.

    Doubt it will happen. And even if it does, won't be the same. Nice to see them cheaters finally getting what they deserve. Karma right there

    It just said trophies won from the Mourinho era will be under scrutinisation.

    I'd be amazed.

    Although if it was proven that they did cheat in the UEFA Cup that season they should be stripped of the title.

    Yeah... they should be stripped of any title they cheated in. I think there's talk of celtic fans starting a petition... someone will post it here soon.

    they've been done with bribing referees in two domestic games the season after seville, doubt it'll have any impact on that game and whether they're stripped of the trophy

    They haven't officially been stripped of the Champions League from 2004 yet... but they've been proven to have bribed a referee in it so it's only a matter of time- and further investigations are underway.

    I don’t see anywhere, where it says other sanctions maybe taken.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    Am I missing something or was it on Sky Sports TV as where does it say they could be stripped of the 2003 Uefa Cup?<o:p></o:p>

    It said all titles under Mourinho will be under further scrutinisation.

    If Porto get thrown out and stripped of the UEFA Cu title then the team they knocked out should surely also have a shout at missing out a chance at the final so I'd guess we wouldn't get the UEFA title although I would take it in a flash - we all knew they were cheating us that night! :D

    To be honest I wouldn't be too surprised if they'd cheated in the UEFA Cup as well... we'll see what the investigations come back with.
