THE PLAYOFF'S ARE CONFIRMED!

Thu May 05, 2011 2:52 pm

They will not be changed - the FA will be scheduling the playoff's as already announce on the days planned for.

They will not change their stance on the playoffs at all - regardless of what happens at tomorrows announcement.

Strongest indication yet, that QPR seem to be ok!

If they are found not guilty of any charges it wouldnt make a difference! Wasn't it the fact that if they were found guilty and penalised into 2nd place, they could go all legal again..... Surely if they are not guilty - then there is no case to answer to.

I think every team may aswell cheat next year if they keep handing out soft punishment whats the point having rules if money can buy you out of them. it was obvious they dont like us welsh and dont want us in prem :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :(

if qpr get away with a petty fine after breaking 7 rules when these rules only came out after the tevez sarga

Actually the quote is " the playoffs will go ahead whatever, the outcome" so if qpr are deducted points and they appeal or don't want to take part in the playoffs (assuming the point deduction does not take them out of the playoffs) then the FA will nominate the 7th team to take part in the playoffs

again this could be boom or bust. Either nothing is done or QPR could be facing straight relegation like Swindon in the 90s and the idea of points deduction just not being as sufficient a punishment.

How would QPR be 'getting away with anything if we are CLEARED of the charges?

The club are talking about the home leg of the playoff being a "Provisional" Monday 16th or Tuesday 17th May so I'll be buying my ticket on Saturday afternoon online.

Don't care who we play but having a potential Monday night game with a few pissheads in our squad is a big worry for me Merlin. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Look if QPR have managed to defend their position it will be after these allegations will have been throughly tested by the IRC and that will tell us ALL there was no case to answer. We must move on yes congratulate QPR, Neil Warnock and their fans on a fantastic season but hopefully we will have 3 playoff games in front of us and thats what we need to concentrate on.

I hope we end up with Forest for no other reason than they have beaten us twice this season and their not good enough to win another 2 games against us. May seem a little silly but I really think we would beat them over 2 legs.

The media reports are that QPR have been told by the Football League that the play-offs will be played as per the original schedule - with or without them. The impression is that any appeal that QPR choose to make will not be allowed to cast a shadow over the schedule and the plans of other teams.

Re: THE PLAYOFF'S ARE CONFIRMED!

Obviously this indicates that QPR are getting a 20 point deduction and are hence not going up or in the play offs.

Or it may be bullshit

Intersting it could therefore be the league playing hardball and say accept the punishment or it could be a whole lot worse for you. Maybe a point deduction taking them even out of the play-offs with no chance of re-entry on appeal.
