Its tough yes, but I'm not sure when else they could have played it, tomorrow ? what's the difference to today ? Not much really, plus both teams have domestic games on Saturday that probably can't be moved. Can't put it off till next week, as the second legs are due on Tuesday night.So unfair to make Dortmund play today after what the players have experienced. I am not so sure the same would have happened if it was Madrid or Barcelona involved.
What? ISIS have no scruples whatsoever. They have been responsible for killing and displacing shed loads of Sunni Muslims and to think they would not bomb City because their owner is a Sunni Muslim, is naive at best. In fact, Abu Dhabi practice a very moderate form of Sunni Islam and actually have Christian churches. They are the exact targets of the extremist/fundamentalist, Wahibi Sunnis, prominent in Saudi and throughout ISIS held land. Whilst the chances of being killed by terrorists is extremely small, it is no smaller at City than any other sporting event.It is truly saddening to know that our club looks to be safer from murderous fruitcakes than other clubs,
simply because of the nationality and religion of the owners. Fingers crossed authorities everywhere root out and destroy this evil
within our midst.
I wasn't making an in depth comment on the situation, merely echoing someone else's point.What? ISIS have no scruples whatsoever.

Tuchel didn't handle publicising that fact very well though, he needed to say it before the game. Saying it after they've been beaten will allow a lot of people to justify it as sour grapes (not that I personally agree).Disgraceful that Dortmund were forced to play their game tonight. We thought that we get shafted but this takes the biscuit. EUFA strike again. They could have moved the date if they wanted to.
It's becoming a lot clearer that Dortmund didn't want to play last night. I mean, i know we think we've been dealt a shit hand by UEFA at times but the events of the last couple of days shows how far they're willing to go in order to keep the gravy train rolling. Couldn't give a shit how full the fixture list is, if there had been any will to accomodate Dortmund then it could have been done. Maybe the fixture list wouldn't be so full if there werent so many champions league games in the first place (miles too many in my opinion).

Not so sure about that. Must Muslim extremist violence is targeted at other Muslims. The lunatics don't much like our fellowsIt is truly saddening to know that our club looks to be safer from murderous fruitcakes than other clubs,
