Well Dogheda Utd's appeal was rejected. Something to do with their league not forwarding them UEFAs memo about multiple ownership earlier in the season.

If they kick palace out or move them to the conference league id say they have deeper pockets for lawyers to challenge so my cynical mind says UEFA will say 'ok we'll turn a blind eye this time but next season.....'

Apparently Palace’s owners also have a team in the Conference league so would not get play in that either. Funniest part of that is if that happens Brighton, who their fans hate, would get the conference league spot.

Decison delayed till monday.

Suspect deals are being done and multiple press releases drafted explaining why its OK for Palace to stay but not Drogheda

You cynical bastard.

 

I however am also a cynical bastard and completely agree.

Some decent games on tv tonight with Palmeiras v Botafogo at 5pm, Cunts v Germany U21 on at 8pm and Benfica v Chelsea on at 9pm

[Jute]

Cunts 2-0 up after 25 minutes. Chelsea game at 9pm I think. 

[BigAl]

Extra time as Germany come back to two each 

[BigAl]

Fucks sakes

Engerlund score as soon as extra time begins 

[Jute]

German defenders just stood and watched.

I gave up after they announced second delay due to lightning.

PSG look frighteningly good. Currently dismantling Inter Miami. 4-0 going on 10.

Bayern 2-0 up on Flamengo after 10 minutes. Had thought this might be a more competitive game but not looking that way.

Kane was lucky as fuck with his goal

[tlg1903]

2-1 flamengo, this is a fun game so far 

[Jute]

3-1 now. 4 yellow cards in first half so cannot see this finishing 11 a side.

[Jute]

3-2 now. 

[Jute]

Finished 4-2 to Bayern and better game than I thought it would be after first 10 minutes. Despite 9 yellows there was no red card. 

[Jute]

Fulminense 1-0 up on Inter after 5 minutes.

Still no decision.

Seems they are awaiting on the outcome of Lyon's appeal against relegation to the 2nd division and having their 6th place finish wiped out due to supposedly being financially fucked.

French governing body really don't fuck around unlike some tinpot island nation

Fluminense win through 2-0. Decent game. As much as I think this is a tournament that’s not needed and is going to lead to player burnout it been entertaining in the main.

They did however exclude another small country team. FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda from Slovakia are out of Conference league as owners also have a controlling interest. In a Hungarian club.
