AC Milan have pulled out of the competition
Should be given a ban from European competitions for a few years for doing this
No different to Southampton announcing Administration after relegation to try and avoid the 10 point deduction in League One

Technically this is their ban.
Being reported as a 1 year ban from European football for breaching FFP rules.
What the reports seem to be forgetting is that Milan actually asked for this. They can now sort themselves out, have no Thursday football to distract them and if/when they qualify for the champions league for the 20/21 season they won't be banned.

Exactly why they should be banned for longer
Could see teams being tempted to make this the norm if UEFA dont grow a pair and deal with them... Would AC Milan have been so eager to have themselves banned this year had they been in the Champions League
Roma advance to the group stages instead, Torino need to get up to speed quick for the qualifiers.
Worth pointing out the breach’s at Milan came under the previous administration not the current owners.
Not making excuses though, I feel that if UEFA were going down the banned from Europe route a 2 year ban would have been better suited. The competition in Italy for top 4 and top 6 places is fierce and this gives Milan an advantage for next season. Although while this is their preferred punishment the humiliation the club faces in Italy shouldn’t be overlooked.
Wolves will play Pyunik of Armenia or Czech Republic side Jablonec in the Europa League third qualifying round if they beat Northern Ireland's Crusaders.
Rangers vs Midtjylland if they beat Progres Niederkorn, while Aberdeen could meet Croatia's Rijeka if they beat Chikhura Sachkhere.
First Leg 0-0 Second Leg 0-0 Game abandoned after 120 minutes, kicked off on the pitch and Craiova Ultras threw a flare on the pitch which caught the referee
freinds with a few ballymena supporters on facebook and think one of there games was in the faroe islands this season before they were hammered in the next round
Torino are a good team. Wolves will be the favourites but it won’t be easy.
Torino are only in Europe because Milan got banned. They had to cut short their summer break to start pre season and until they start competitive games we won’t know how the rush back has affected them. Also keep in mind Wolves start their league season this weekend. The Italian top flight doesn’t get going for another 3 weeks. So Wolves should be in a better position fitness wise too. Although a Wolves v Torino game wouldn’t be for 3 weeks anyway.

they won 2-0 last night against a nsi a team from the faroe islands, how many teams do the faroe islands have in europa
through charlton, freinds on facebook with a few who are ballymena fans and most of them are heading out to the game next week.
Gibraltar, San Marino and Andorra get 2
Kosovo and Liechtenstein get 1
All other European countries have 3 in the Europa League.

St Josephs up against Aribo and Rangers next
My son went there.
I doubt it - it’s a primary convent school.
Another ex CAFC player to play in Europa League.
Congrats Joe
A Kilmarnock win would have helped push Scotland towards regaining a 2nd Champions League spot.
(Thats if we get Bielik and Cullen back of course)
If that does happen and we are able to re-sign those two
I wonder how much they'll maybe regret their decisions, I wonder if they'll be surprised by what Bowyer has achieved in the market this summer
Aribo will carve up the SPL, get paid a lot more money than here and will be playing Premier League football within 2 seasons.
Rangers vs Midtjylland if they beat Progres Niederkorn, while Aberdeen could meet Croatia's Rijeka if they beat Chikhura Sachkhere.
