    A UEFA spokesman confirmed: &#8216;We can say that we found out about this situation on Thursday afternoon.

    'It was a UEFA delegate who found out about it. Our disciplinary committee is meeting tomorrow morning to make a decision on it. If a player is found not to be eligible Legia Warsaw would forfeit the tie 3-0 and Celtic would go through on away goals.&#8217;

    As well as the balance sheet trophy, we are now surely undisputed kings of the Formfilling Cup

    I'm not going to lie, I will be ****ing beeling if you ****s get through because of this **** and lets face it, UEFA doesn't like the Poles(neither does Salmond), so you might well do, but, I shall take any bet from any of you fenain ****s, as long as it is over 100 euros that Celtic don't play in the group stages this season. I'll give you a point better than the bookies are giving.

    Im pretty confident we wont be reinstated ; in fact Im certain of it. The only possible way it might happen is if UEFA beome super cautious about interpretation - ok, in our game it clearly could have made no difference - however, what if something similar happened in a closer game , say, a team two goals up with six minutes to go, three up with eleven minutes to go - they might not want to get into the realms of the likely-hood of a result, but keep things black and white.

    In fact, **** it, Ive changed my mind , we`re there, I can hear Zadok the Priest belting out right now <laugh>

    Its absurd, obviously, but I could see where uefa might feel they need to come from, keep it black and white rather than risk setting precedent and getting into some legal wrangle if it happened between two rich and powerful teams in the latter stages of the champions league.

    They`ll get round it by saying Legia were under the mistaken understanding he had served his ban - and give them a fine

    Rules are rules and Celtic should be reinstated. Simple as that.

    Anybody know what the current record for being pumped out of Europe in a single season is ? <laugh>

    I read somewhere that Debrecen fielded an ineligible player last season against some unpronounceable mob from the bowels of eastern Europe and were only fined &#8364;15,000.

    I'm sure Lawwell will be somewhat ambivalent about all this. On the one hand there's the opportunity to progress and swell the bank balance. On the other, the calls for more investment in the team will grow and he'll have to clear off the cobwebs from the cheque book and actually spend some money.

    Anyway, I don't think it's going to happen and I'm not sure that, from a moral and footballing sense, that it should, ie. we're ****ing **** and don't deserve to go through.

    Either or, this could be great.

    1. Celtic get reinstated.


    • Cons: Celtic get into the CL
    • Pros: This thread is near guaranteed 6 'BUMPS' when various crack outfits dish out a whole manner of stylings

    2. UEFA fine Legia and don't throw them out


    • Cons: No more embarrassing pumpfests for Timothy to feel the burn
    • Pros: Thousands of unwashed BHEASTS got a semi for **** all and will need to go back to sniffing mummy's panties.
