Give it to Giggsy till the end of the season.
Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I would suggest that doing a cup draw isn't this difficult unless you were trying to manipulate that cup draw. It seems remarkably simple in principal.
If that is right and is clear for all to see, I wonder what are UEFA lawyers thinking about by letting the whole draw be repeated. This is just going to harm UEFA's reputation even more if it goes through.
They're the Kings of the competition
'Any balls doesn't mean all balls'
This is gonna be glorious, so many clubs will be salty when they get a tougher draw.
Also, someone please deliver us with RAWK and bluemoon quotes if they get screwed

Now there's a man who can be trusted to keep his balls where they should be.
My QC begs to differ. To CAS we GO!
"A fool's not gonna get fooled again" - a wise man.
Yup. We got spanked, never mind the score. But we were also a very different team under a manager that was completely out of his depth. The (almost) same squad dominated the bubble CL one year later. I'd still like to avoid Liverpool if possible.
I've got a feeling the exact same draw will happen, that's just our luck currently.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again!" An even wiser man.
Nearly choked on my coffee then.
Corruption 101:
1. Don't be transparent. It's much harder to cheat if everyone understands what you're doing.
2. Cheat.
We go again.
2pm for the British contingent, btw.

Cavani will get banned for this
Innocent till proven guilty...unless you the FIA.
I can see the argument for only doing the draw from the point of the mistake but it could look suss if ties from invalid draw were kept, doing the whole thing avoids any question marks
Without Twitter and the uproar would there have been a new draw ?
We're going to need someone to zoom in on our and PSG's balls to look for any significant markings.
Thank goodness for social media. They should have cancelled Uefa.
It should just be a free-for-all. No seeding, no restrictions on playing teams from your own country (in the knockout stages).
16 teams in one pot.
Rumours say Ceferin tried to put Barcelona's ball in some of the pots, but then he got warned that would be way too much for today.
I'd still prefer if teams from the same group were kept apart.
FFS what a farce, does Mesi have a second job at UEFA
UEFA are has USELESS as the FIA

I would love this. It would bring variety. At the very least they need to ditch the rule of no clubs of the same country cannot meet in the first round of the KO stage
PSG haven't been anything special this season but they are still worst possible opponent for us so redraw is a good thing. Ideally we avoid them again, Inter and Atletico as well but there's nothing to lose for United in a redraw. On the other hand, draw was kind to other English teams so they won't be happy surely.
It makes winning the group pointless though.
I'm fine with them getting rid of the not allowed to face teams from your own country in the round of 16 draw however.
RM can sit down. After their ESL stunt, they have zero grounds to complain and should be happy they're still in the competition.
2-1 up away. Bayern needed 2 goals for most of the second half and were 2nd best the whole game. That’s a spanking when it comes to a CL knockout between 2 mammoth clubs.
Someone needs to be fired. Fire the lot of them.
Can't spell wise without "W".
So the original draw was voided? What was the issue, the balls weren't hot enough?

RAWK seems to be annoyingly sane about the whole fiasco. Partly because it's obvious they needed to redraw, and partly because they're pretty much bound to smash whoever they're drawn.
Some balls were a bit too hot.
