More power to the Scottish people. Can be off their face and still do the fecking business. None of this Mediterranean nonsense.
I'd still rather have a bowl of spaghetti with tomato sauce and Enrico Iglesias so the draw

I'm genuinely tired of UEFA rigging these things so we get the easiest opponents. It means that when we lift the trophy it'll feel a bit tarnished.

A Russian and an Italian were doing the draw, what did people expect?

Congratulations to everyone in this thread that got this over the line. I imagine @Hectic had a big hand in it in the background.

Well done Uefa :houllier: Serves them right for making the whole thing so bloody complicated.

Now please please please have everyone who had an easy draw get a tough one. The fallout would be glorious! :drool:

Fair play - they don't want that FIA smoke.

But when we get PSG again...
We obviously will but at least this time we can go with our usual paranoid complaints about heated balls etc rather than an indisputable feck up.

Insane that an organisation can admit their mistake and go back on the result.

Each to their own but a bottle of Bucky and a battered mars bar is unbeatable in my book.

It was the 75 million votes for a redraw from Botswana that finally got them to relent.

Im guessing there is a set of rules and they had no choice. Otherwise it would have ended up in the courts.

UEFA's statement :lol: :

The Champions League draw has been declared void and will be "entirely redone" at 14:00 GMT.

Uefa's statement: "Following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the Uefa Champions League Round of 16.

"As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 1500 CET (14:00 GMT)."
Translation: we done put the balls in the wrong pot.
