It was the 4th official who reported Legia. Not anyone from Celtic. Celtic get pumped 6-1 but we still get unqualified Hun spastic apoplexy. Deep fried magic.
I read somewhere that Celtic had to make an official complaint for any action to be taken, I don't actually know if it's true but these cretins have obviously read it and taken it as gospel. Personally I can't see any reason why Celtic would have to lodge a complaint if the rules were broken. That's the sort of **** the SFA would come up with.
This puts an entirely different light on what actually happened: In other words, instead of having a 24 man squad Berg and Legia decided 25 men would be better. If UEFA ignored that they would be giving Carte Blanche for every team to do the same. The whole point of player Bans in Europe is to punish the Club by reducing the available squad pool of the offending team.
Celtic would be ****ing stupid not to complain if they knew about it. It's as simple as that, pragmatism comes first.
It's a blatant lie as it turns out: please log in to view this image Note the difference in wording between Rules 1 & 3 here. Legia come under 1, Debrecen came under 3. SO Celtic did not have to protest, UEFA made the simple decision on their own.
Thought that might be the case. I was sure I read yesterday that it was the 4th official who reported Legia. It's a sore one for Legia & their fans but I guarantee they will never make the same ****-up again.
Does not matter a jot, the paranoid loonballs among the Gers support have already decided Lawell or Quinn were behind this because they have some "mole" within UEFA on speed dial.
Aye we're so well in with UEFA a section of our support made a banner especially for them. please log in to view this image
I wish some buns would read that , on other forum their idiots saying their club would have said "Warsaw you beat us fair and square through you go" !! This Coming from fans who watched their club cheat their way through scottish football for over a hundred year. So the next time they win a game through a dubious decision , soft penalty , wrong ordering off , offside goal against their scottish opposition , will they be happy to alter the result or like last season why didn't they let Albion Rovers progress in the Scottish cup after a shocking honest mistake ???
The simple fact is Legia had a full 25 man squad to choose from in 3 games, 2 against St Pats and 1 against us in Poland. Who knows who the extra ineligble player was in each of those three 25 man squads, either way they flouted UEFA's rules and gained an advantage - however minimal that advantage was - over 3 full games of football. UEFA had no choice so I doubt very much whether the appeal will succeed. No club would be so stupid as to say "no thanks, we lost fair and square", the Gers fans who say that are fooling no one, least of all themselves it just makes me laugh.
Thing is Dev we all have our little football dreams to wind up the opposition - we win a cup, thy go down lose in finals on pnaltis, go bust etc etc etc. I don't think anyone ever has a fantasy where they get knocked out of the cup 6-1 and then get reinstated. It's absolutely mental
