legia warsaw ineligible player on the field .. CELTIC ARE BACK

just a small pointer for celtic fans. Maribor qualified by beating tel aviv. but no games were played in Israel due to the current conflict, so the second leg was played in Cyprus. Maribor won the first leg at home 1 0. then it was a 2 2 draw in Cyprus (tel aviv home game) and went through 3 2 on agg. looks to me the Maribor v celtic tie will be down to whether Maribor can handle the atmosphere at celtic park which will be miles in front of no home fans in Cyprus. celtic of course played previous rounds at murrayfield rugby stadium. so will celtic be inspired playing back at "home" with the crowd roaring them on?

maribor knocked the rangers out a few year back

maribor knocked the rangers out a few year back , s rangers fans will be cheering us on also

lol Chaser

Highly embarrassing for Celtic.

more like embarrassing for henning berg , running about wild after the 4-1 win , only to get pumped 3-0 in murrayfield

not at all, rules are rules and they are in black and white, they played a player that was suspended and the game is awarded to the other team 3-0, thats the rules

Bets are for results over 90 mins only

Highly embarrassing for Celtic. How do you make that out, fk we see players diving all over the place to get into the CL we see people diving in the EPL ti try and get a penalty to get that fourth place, Celtic did nothing wrong, we have suspended players did we play them NO, rules are rules, we played by the rules they broke them

legia should sack their manager he just cost him a crack at £16m

The manager is the one and only HENNING BERG ex RANGERS MAN

He will be in Celtics hall of fame never mind Rangers hall of fame

That explains things, not got a clue, that makes it so much better

flutter.bid

Celtic did nothing wrong - except get pumped 6-1 over two legs.

Legia at home to Gornik Leczna this weekend should be buying money because if they don't win Berg knows he'll be sacked on the spot and may not even avoid injury getting out of the stadium. His sacking is just a matter of time, he wasn't a popular choice for the job.

Berg right now

Lets all hope Cletic can get past the mighty Maribor.

Free munee dont come much bigger than cletic in the C/L .

Christmas has just been reinstated in the BnB house

Kids are dancing on the ceiling this morning

Will cletic delay the fire sale till after qualification ?

Do those layers laying Celtic to qualify for the next round at 1000/1 lose a fortune?

breadnbuttre remember last time rangers player maribor

is that will you class them as mighty

bet celtic -1 goal with hills anybody clued up on what happens to the bet cheers in advance

Your right still need another miracle for cletic to get in C/L

maybe virgle van dik will stay now

could celtic finish up in the same europa league group as legia?

Yeah, just checked the game in Uefa is 3-0 to celtic and recorded as that, so if celtic won this game 3-0 then what happens with the bets on celtic, they were awarded 3-0 in the 90 minutes and all bets are for 90 mins

Sack Delia Piish, spend 10 million quick they may have a quarter of a chance of qualifying

outpost thats a good point , there would be trouble in poland for sure if this happened

hot and cold balls would come into play

yeah though as much

I still think it wiil be tough to win it, some great sides there, madrid, bayern and barca all capable of beating us

Would be nice to get an English club , City preferably as they are the weak ones imo

Has a team ever been knocked out of europe 3 times in one season?

On 26 August 2010, Péter Máté came on as a last-minute substitute in the 2:1 away win against Bulgarian side Litex Lovech in a UEFA Europa League game. Subsequently, the team from Lovech launched an official complaint, demanding a 3:0 win by default, as Máté had not been entered on the official squad list of the Hungarian team prior to the game. However, UEFA decided against changing the result of the match, settling for a fine of 15,000 euros to be paid by the Hungarians.

hippie he was ineligible not SUSPENDED , SUSPENDED IS AUOTMATIC 3-0 FORFEIT

If Legia played in the "Coca Cola Arena" rather than the "Pepsi Arena" they would have received the same treatment as Debrecen.

Gary Neville wrote Celtic were lucky, I wrote NO they broke the rules, Having an ex rangers player responsible
"Now That's Lucky"

great start to the weeken and a bit of free advice, if you have ever played or worked or had any connection with Rangers ever. BUY INSURANCE, because bad luck will follow you.

Thought Celtic were the better team anyway.

Southampton's bid for Fraser Forster isn't good enough
Express.co.uk ‎- 37 minutes ago
CELTIC have taken a huge gamble by fending off a second bid from Southampton for keeper Fraser Forster.




He aint leaving for pennies now , champions league players cost more

...couldnt lace BIG ARTURS boots............

Forster gone , we have more money will it be banked or spent

Typical UEFA cowards making decisions that suit their own investment..... Would Real, Barce, Utd be eliminated if they were in the same position?

meanwhile

CELTIC has invented a fictional hero to take credit for the three goals it never scored.

The club was awarded a completely made-up 3-0 Champions League qualifying victory over Legia Warsaw after the Polish team accidentally fielded an invincible football robot for two minutes of injury time.

Now the Glasgow club has honoured the achievement by awarding the goals to the fictional attacking midfielder, Declan Sanchez.

A club spokesman said: “Declan is a working class boy from Galway whose grandfather was an Argentinian human rights activist and a close friend of Che Guevara.

“Declan joined Celtic at the age of seven after being spotted by Kenny Dalglish, adopted by Charlie Nicholas and trained by Henrik Larsson. When he is not creating and scoring magnificent goals he writes poetry about imperialist oppression.

“And he has the voice of an angel.”

"And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Sanchez, Auld and Hay"

Deckie is some player

Careful haryy redknapp wants to sign him for £14m, he said he's a triffic  player.

Celtic will need to add a red neck to their strips now.
The laughing stock of Europe.
Keep celtic in all the other clubs are shouting.

Like BnB I've told the wife to prepare for a bumper Christmas. Free Money.

Big Pete hiding and won't lift the phone because that's the celtic way.

i dont think anyone would give their place up , tbh i feel for legia and most celtic fans will

but if you reveresed the situation im sure legia would do the same

football is a business now unfortunately

Dring Dring Dring Dring
Big Pete If that's fur me am no in.

you reckon he will release a statement before maribor game

Big Pete Oh a wrong number, good. Now where was I? Oh aye, sporting integrity. Well I think ................

spoke to my uncle today he had a season ticket for 20 odd year but gave it up 2 year ago as he was against lawell then , he said now everyone is realising what a few knew back then

when players get sold for millions all the fans are happy but the money isnt getting re-invested so we should not be happy about selling anyone

unless its getting held back for when rangers get back up and we can push ahead

but it goes back to january 2009 when he would buy steven fletcher for a measly few million and we ended up losing the league because of it

wouldnt

He'll say he's lost his voice. Well they've lost everything else ..... Both legs of the tie, half the team and self respect.

see the starting 11 v barca when we beat them 6 of them are gone maybe 7

We all know that the money men have had Rangers over in recent times and blatantly so but they aint done so bad at parkhead although they've been a bit more subtle and maybe not so greedy.

1    Fraser Forster    GONE
2    Adam Matthews
4    Efe Ambrose
6    Kelvin Wilson GONE
7    Miku GONE
9    Giorgios Samaras GONE
15    Kris Commons   
16    Joe Ledley    GONE
21    Charlie Mulgrew   
23    Mikael Lustig   
67    Victor Wanyama GONE


Tony Watt GONE

Derry Pele GONE

I remember when me and me wee celtic supporting pal went to ibrox one week and parkhead the next.
We were both young and naïve and we couldn't spell bigotry let alone practice it. Then we matured (?)  
Squashed like sardines at parkhead one week and the crowd was given as under 40,000.

Samaras a free agent still and talk of him coming back. Possible or paper talk?

i seen that tbh i dont want him back even thought he would get in this team , we need to look forward

if he came back i would get behind him , but its a new era and i dont think he would fit in the way super deila wants to play

Aka - Is it true that the board asked Sally to resign last night?  He Walked out off the room.

Not sure but I do know he was asked to resign previously over an issue of not backing the board.
Ally had the fans backing then and that and the fact his payoff would be huge stopped the board sacking him.

Aka - correct in the payoff.  The board apparently told him they couldn't pay him off so they asked him to resign by mutual consent last night.  He's getting plenty of monmey from the club with his wage

Can't blame Ally for refusing to go. He's never going to get another job in management that's for sure although he'll walk into a media one in Scotland no doubt.

No wonder he wouldn't walk away.
The irony is that Green let him keep his salary because he needed Ally onboard to sell shares.

so does green still own rangers

i would ask breadnbutter but he will demand i upload documents claimin he does or doesnt

Not sure but wouldn't be surprised if he was 'in bed' with some of the major investors.
Whatever though he's as big a chancer as CW.

Another day and still celtic are bringing shame on Scottish football by not doing the decent ting.
Well beaten in both legs they are shaming us and themselves by taking the place of Legia in the next qualifying round.
Come on celtic do the honourable thing or forever be known as cheats.

Just read about this situation a couple days ago.  I find it pathetic yet very predictable Celtic have happily taken the place of Legia. 

I thought Celtic was supposed to be some "great" club, seems like they are just like every other club around...happy to get their hands on money anyway they can.

It would appear that EUFA broke their own rules by allowing one person to make the decision instead of forming a three man panel.
Wouldn't it be lovely if celtic were now thrown out on a technicality.

if we got booted out or gave up our place , would they have to do the draw again as legia would be unseeded not like celtic the giants where seeded

celtic statement on website short and sweet



IN response to statements made by Legia Warsaw today, a spokesperson for Celtic Football Club said:

“We are disappointed by Legia Warsaw's comments. This is entirely a matter for UEFA and its processes. Accordingly, we will reserve further comment for the appropriate time.”

basically p1ss OFFFFFF

That's another faux pas by eufa. Not making allowance for the appeal suggests they have pre-determined the outcome.
I'll represent Legia in court for nowt.

apparently you cant appeal it if suspeneded player

They are basing their appeal on the administration error.
They are arguing that they are being punished for the error and not the fact that he played which is a subtle difference.
They played the player believing him to be free from suspension.

Come on celtic do the honourable thing. Don't hide behind the so called rules.
Any decent minded person can see that Legia deserve their chance in the next qualifying round.

If Celtic qualify for the Champions League group stages all the other Scottish Premiership teams get about 200 grand each.

That has to be good news for Scottish football

we know they do but football is a busness and no on would give this up look at fc haka in 2001 , beaten 4-1 on aggregate but still qualified throught he same reason

didnt know that geeser

so we are doing all the TOP SCOTTISH clubs a favout here

teams like ross county and hamilton

Both clubs should be full of red faced officials.

Legia for being so unprofessional with administration and Celtic for accepting a place in the Champions League after being humiliated 6-1 on aggregate by a poor Polish side.

Common sense should prevail tomorrow as Legia could have brought on Alex Ferguson, Roy Hodgson and Prince Charles for the final 10 mins and it would have made no difference.

if celtic brung on ambrose we would have lost 3-0 simples

OK,Some words of warning for you guys that seems to be overlooked.Celtic played for a long period in the first leg with 10 men.And more importantly Legia had 8 Polish international players on their team.So celtic were beaten by a good Polish side.Perhaps Celtic are not as bad a team as everyone makes them out to be.Time will tell but be careful with your bets because sometimes a team can have a bad set of results that does not reflect the true standard of their normal performance.Just be careful before you all submit that bet on celtic to lose.

if somehow legia do get this overturned will they need to do the draw again or some of it as celtic where seeded and legia where unseeded , so wouldnt be fair on that ludogrets team
