UEFA are a joke

Shaktar's striker Luis Adriano has been banned for one match so he'll miss the Juventus game.

Shaktar and Juve are the two teams that benefitted from that goal at the expense of Nordsjælland & Chelsea yet it's them that benefit.

 

Didn't think the goal made any difference as it was 5-2.

 

yeah but we need shaktar to win and now they have lost a striker

 

Enough of this already!

We came up short this year when it mattered, a chance to regroup and win the U-Ropey Cup

 

Yeah, we are out for sure

 

agreed, when we threw away the two goal lead against juve the writing was on the wall, bring on the u-ropey

 

Final v Spuds in Amsterdam

 

Always look on the bright side of life.. da dum, de dem

 

Athletico will win it.

 

so the same ban for 2 yellows in a game as for one of the biggest examples of poor sportsmanship I've seen since Suarez in the World Cup. Classic Uefa.

 

DL---Should this have been posted on the sticky "Jokes" thread?

 

Wasn't the 5th goal though so it could have made a difference. Weren't the other side winning at the time?

 

To be fair it was a surprise Uefa acted at all.
I do think there is a slight upside to all this for us in that Shaktar will be under the spotlight to perform now and not just settle v Juve......that and the fact you couldn't trust Juve not to score late on and win the group should give us a little hope.

 

At least Juventus lost to Milan so there is pressure for them to win in Serie A this weekend.
