Lorne Malvo Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Can't see it having any effect on Celtic going out.
farawaysaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 You couldn't have waited until after the decision this morning? The title's a bit misleading at this point.
georgeweahscousin Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Previous situations have seen only a fine.
trousers Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 @themartinsamuel Legia Warsaw will almost certainly be fined for fielding an ineligible player but remain in the Champions League... Sorry #Celtic fans.
SO16_Saint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 a player coming on for 2 minutes of injury time while 6-1 up. A fine for sure. nothing to see here.
Bucks Saint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Already covered last night on the rumours thread. WUM
andoru Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 I expect the Polish team will be fined, not eliminated. There was a similar case before like this involving Debrecen. UEFA ruled the team gained no advantage from putting on an ineligible player for the last three minutes when they were already 4-1 up, so just fined them £15,000.
farawaysaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 (edited) Previous situations have seen only a fine. No they haven't, that's the problem. Fielding an INELIGIBLE player has previously brought a fine, fielding a suspended player has not. Here are the UEFA disciplinary guidelines, note the use of MAY and IS. A match is declared forfeit if a player who has been suspended following a disciplinary decision participates in the match. 2 A match is also declared forfeit in application of Article 19(1) of these regulations. 3 A match may be declared forfeit if a player who is ineligible under the regulations of the competition concerned participates in the match, as long as the opposing club files a protest.

Killers Knee Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Celtic were readmitted to Europa League when Sion fielded 5 ineligible players in 2011, but in this case I expect a fine.
Andy Durman Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 I think the guidelines are clear Celtic must be readmitted.
farawaysaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 I think the guidelines are clear Celtic must be readmitted. Unfortunate and reluctant yep.
Kingsland Red Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 He was banned for 3 games, he sat out 3 games. The issue is if he was registered for the first two, against St Patricks Athletic. I f he wan't then Legia are out !
Matthew Le God Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2719323/Celtic-given-Champions-League-reprieve-UEFA-launch-investigation-eligibility-Legia-Warsaw-player.html Even if Celtic get a reprieve that doesn't mean we can't sign their players. Southampton signed Victor Wanyama on 11th July 2013, before their Champions League qualifiers. Celtic players will want to join us in order to play in the Premier League and get Premier League level wages, as will their agents.
sussexsaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 guidelines not rules though , means there can be judgements based on a case by case basis rather than it being black and white.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Interesting to see if this has any impact. They also would have another qualifier, and as proven, aren't a good team.
niceandfriendly Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Surely that punishment does not fit the crime?!
richard Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 BREAKING NEWS Celtic are reinstated Do you have a link?
Saints foreva Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Embarrassing for Celtic to accept this imo.
richard Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 It's not being reported on the BBC or Sky. How do we know they have been reinstated?
richard Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 OK, found http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/285545-celtic-reinstated-in-champions-league-play-offs-after-legia-forfeit/
richard Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 It's not guaranteed though, according to the article they have the right to appeal and he did actually miss three games. They didn't put him in the squad sheet so it doesn't count, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them win the appeal.
percy windham Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Pretty poor decision, don't understand how it can be argued that the player influenced a very one-sided two-legged game with a 3 minute appearance at the end.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 In the end it was the missed penalites that cost them...
hypochondriac Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 I imagine they will appeal this. Bad luck for us!
hypochondriac Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Embarrassing for Celtic to accept this imo. Yeah this too. Even if this had no bearing on saints.
waggy Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Unbelievable, as our feeder club Celtic should have more consideration!
Bearsy Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 spare a thought for the poor administration bro who just cost Legia £10m or whatever. Gonna get sack bro!
saints1988 Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 That is a terrible decision they where losing 6-1 at the point this bloke came on
Shroppie Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Despite the Sky banner, no official confirmation.
Saint86 Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 That is a shocking decision. 6-1 up with 2min to play, and get knocked out of the champions league.... Law suit incoming I would imagine. Disgraceful decision from Uefa.
Matthew Le God Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 That is a shocking decision. 6-1 up with 2min to play, and get knocked out of the champions league.... Law suit incoming I would imagine. Disgraceful decision from Uefa. On what grounds? They broke the rules that they should have been fully aware of.
S-Clarke Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Not sure what this changes, really. I'm sure Forster still has a valuation and if we meet that valuation he will be coming here. You couldn't make it up though, pure pantomime transfer drama!
beatlesaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 On what grounds? They broke the rules that they should have been fully aware of. on the grounds he played two minutes and didn't influence the game in any way, shape or form. I bet he never even touched the bloody ball. Sometimes common sense needs to prevail.
farawaysaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Despite the Sky banner, no official confirmation. Warsaw president has tweeted he failed.
SO16_Saint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 On what grounds? They broke the rules that they should have been fully aware of. Should a UEFA official at the game not have noticed the error too, and omitted him from the team?
farawaysaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Also this http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2015/draws/index.html
waggy Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Draw for CL is at 11:00 so should be confirmed by then?
skintsaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 Can't see it having any effect on Celtic going out.
Batman Posted 8 August, 2014 Posted 8 August, 2014 LOL we get the worst luck Im sure that is the deal for forster put on hold
