worst case scenario could happen??

[kurtangle01]

as you may or may not have heard AC milan have been given the harsh punishment of an 8 point deduction.WOW!!!! and have been relegated to...no not serieB but the third qualifying round of the champions league. what a harsh punishment eh!?!?

the worst of it as a punishment they will not be seeded in the draw meaning that as one of the top seeds we could play them!?

i don't care what anyone says but they are a formidable team and a club like ourselves, or another for that matter, who have legitimately qualified for the CL qualifiers could in effect end up being punished for their involvment in the match fixing scandal.

this is a farce. no?

I mentioned on another thread, it is an utter disgrace. The football powers are all bloody corrupt. UEFA are an utter joke.

[kurtangle01]

UEFA need to step in and tell the powers that be in italy that milan will no be accepted in this seasons european competition. that won't happen though.

it would just be our luck to get them in fridays draw. and if not us you'd still have to feel sorry for the team that do get pulled out of the hat along side them.

We'd beat them anyway

We'd beat them anyway

i'd like to think so but it wouldn't be as cut and dried as it would be if we draw one of the lesser teams.

hopefully we won't get them in the draw though.

Yeah I know mate, I was just displaying some bravado

I do think we'd beat them, but obviously they would represent tougher opposition than we should be facing as one of the teams that will be seeded in the first pot if/when we qualify for the CL proper. It's an absolute farce that AC are allowed into the 3rd round but not seeded, it ultimately punishes one of our clubs.

Where did you read this?

UEFA website says that after their point reduction, they ended up third In serie A. No mention of them being stripped of their seeding?

It looks like they will enter as the Third Italian side and retain their Top seed in 3rd Round of Qualifiers with us being seeded second

Hope so, But with a bit of Luck Milan can draw Arsenal

[kurtangle01]

just said on sky sports news that UEFA will confirm tomorrow if milan are to keep their seed or not.

They should have the balls to tell Italy that Milan is not acceptable as a representative

in an ideal world that would happen but i seriously doubt UEFA would have the balls to do it. their thinking will be that the more big teams in their premier competition the better.
