[Football] If Palace can't play in the Europa League

[Yes Chef]

We get it. You feel a certain way, others however have a small strand of hope. Why not use the ignore button if you don't like how others view the situation?

I was going to say the same thing, perhaps they're the ones that need to let it go

Prolonged uncertainty and embarrassment for them.

That’s enough for me.

This, shit England internationals and the FIFA World Club Cup.... what an embarrassment. Can't wait for the football season to start.

Same. It is funny.

However, Drogheda has lost its appeal to CAS today, which makes things even more interesting:

Surely - surely! - they can't have one rule for one, one for another...

I think this one is a bit more clear-cut in that the same company has large holdings (80%ish) in both affected clubs.

Rather amusing that Drogheada’s owners brought Silkeborg after they’d won the Irish FA Cup, that is Palace levels of bad planning.

That’s true. Palace only break the rules by a little bit so let’s let that one go. I might try that defence with the wife. “I only got home a few hours later than I said I would. It is not like I am three days late. Sheesh. Chill out”

Oh just please, please, please make this happen.
If we replaced them it would be box office.
It would be great for our rivalry, a whole new generation of fans would properly despise each other.

If a big club like Drogheada can be kicked out, it really doesn’t bode well for small teams like palace…
