Celtic Back in Champions League

[GrandOldTeam]

• Celtic are re-admitted to the Champions League after Legia Warsaw are thrown out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player.

Rules are rules.

 

[ijjysmith]

LOL - they'll get smashed in the next round anyway.

IMO they woulda been better off taking the Europa Play Off game and getting in that group stage than losing the CL 1 and being out of Europe altogether before the season even begins.

 

[davek]

Legia won the third qualifying round tie 6-1 on aggregate but brought on Bartosz Bereszynski for the last two minutes of the second leg, while he was supposed to be serving a suspension.

 

[bluelife]

Errrr
Should be everton that

 

[Groucho]

Perhaps a bit harsh seeing as he only played for 2 mins?

Echoes of Special Dispensation FC?

But, as @davek says, rules is rules.

 

[Tubey]

There's going to be a few very fired admin staff at Legia...

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Feel bad for Legia but it's their own fault at the end of the day

Celtic will get roasted in the next round though

 

[Tramps_mate]

Rules are rules!!

I'd be embarrassed if I were Celtic, they were absolutely smashed.


This is a farce

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Maybe a Platini got a call last night from his holiness in the Vatican?

"Hello, this is Michelle speaking"

"Celtic, put them through"

*Slams Phone Down*

"Oh no!"

*Calls up his secretary*

"Put Celtic through to the next round. How am I supposed to know? Just find a reason! I've got 'you know who' breathing down my neck!"

 

[rascal]

DISGRACE

 

[Elong]

It was okay for Sunderland in the Premier League though...

 

[Tubey]

I'd be embarrassed if I were Celtic, they were absolutely smashed.


This is a farce

Why?

The opposition shouldn't have fielded an ineligible player - that simple really. Not Celtic's fault they did.
