Need to wait for confirmation if it’s the Tuesday or Wednesday probably.

Watched the re run of the PSV Monaco game this morning. Monaco have better players, but PSVs team and fighting spirit was very impressive. They looked beaten but never gave up. Toss of a coin which is more difficult. I would of sided probably for Monaco because of the lack of atmosphere in their ground. Think it’s a 50/50 tie 

[blaudrup 5,423]

Yeah, I hadn't realised earlier psv were out with 20 mins to go and equalised in the last minute to take it to extra time.

So Eredivisie doing everything they can to help PSV by removing the weekend game between the two legs.

Would rather keep momentum going. Any time we get matches moved we fuck things up on the pitch

Ahh, to have a forward thinking governing body.

We should be requesting similar tbh.

Dont see how that is in any way helpful at this stage of the season

To have a week to prepare to the next leg. Would be mad not to ask for it.

Tbh I'd rather more games so the team keep getting used to each other as a unit, plus Morelos needs minutes for these two games.

No it would be absolutely mental to ask for it. Davies, Yilmaz, Matondo and particularly Morelos all need minutes on Saturday.

Once you get to the last 8 or so I can understand it but asking for postponements in August isn't helpful and would be a total riddy. 

[esquire8 42,901]

We got more money from winning last night than winning the SPFL premiership and league cup combined?

Even when we did it against Lyon in 07/08 we got spanked at Ibrox. No guarantees it'll make a difference.

I don't see a single benefit to it.

Their main man Gakpo might not be there by the time we play them. Would be a big boost.

[GetToTheChoppa 6,873]

Gives me the fear that we play Hibs between the two legs. That Porteous prick will injure someone.

is there a bid in for him?

Man Utd reportedly for around £35m

That deal should be completed by end of summer 2023 window if Man U involved.

[STEPPS BOY 74,032]

Really exciting tie this tbh.

A proper 50/50 and we’ll need to be at very best to qualify.

Hopefully signed the night before the first leg. 

[Vanoli 4,625]

Quietly confident with this one. Very tight tie that they will be slight favourites for. We tend to find the level required in those situations.

Be mad to take it.

We've got several players needing minutes for fitness/sharpness. We also have players still getting used to each other. 

It's also not like breaks have ever really helped us in the past. We're better continuing to play.
