PaddysBar Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 No chance of this happening I don’t think. If it does and we don’t get automatically into the group stages they’d have to compensate us anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshed Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 This war ain’t going to be over any time soon so would they be able to play their fixtures in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackney Hearts Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I don't quite see the reasoning - they say it's because they can't play qualifiers in the current war situation.... but surely the same applies to group matches? It's not like the war's going to be over by August, or even the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjam Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Going by this https://kassiesa.net/uefa/AccessList2022.html Even if they do parachute Ukraine into Groups it looks like it will affect a Turkish club not us 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC01 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 That would be bad news getting voted out of the automatic group stage. Not like Hearts to get voted out of a league 😖 I think Ukraine clubs could play neutral stadiums if agreed with clubs. That's most likely.

jamboinglasgow Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I would not take that too seriously, I imagine it was one of many ideas suggested but doesn't mean it will be carried out. I suspect if Ukrainian clubs can take part, they will play games in neutral countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rory78 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Absolute lot of rubbish I've just read in that article,if the Ukrainians are added it will be extra places and not in place of others,why would Scottish Turkish clubs etc just sit back and say "aye that's OK UEFA we'll suffer financial ourselves so that the Ukrainian clubs dont" lot of nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartsmad1874 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Shakhtar, Dnipro guaranteed group stage football anyway. Dynamo Kyiv just need to win one game to guarantee it.

Not all Russian teams go straight into the group stage so that wouldn't solve the problem of Ukraine teams not being able to play games at the play-off stage. But the idea that they won't be able to play games in the play-off but will be by the time of the group stages a few weeks later seems like mystic meg stuff.

Heartsmad1874 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hearts are due to enter the play off round at the same stage as the only Ukranian team, Dnipro. How parachuting them into the group stage would effect Hearts i have no idea because we'd have to be in the group stage for it to have a negative impact. Think the Portuguese CW might be nervous though if this was to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NANOJAMBO Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 They'd effectively be playing football in UEFA tournaments only. 2/3 of the national side are from domestic based clubs and the league has been suspended for months.

Doc Rob Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The rules have been clear (if complex) since the start of the season, and there is a LOT of money at stake here. If UEFA tried this then they would get sued by anyone who lost out, and with good reason. It isn’t going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportspeople, musicians etc are being encouraged and allowed to compete and perform. Every time a Ukrainian person performs it's good for the country and by doing so for the war.
