Illegia's UEFA appeal fails - Going to CAS. FAILS AGAIN

You only need to look at the YouTube videos of their game vs Jagiellonia Bialystok from March this year to see the sporting nature of Legia fans.

Funnily enough that game resulted in a 3-0 walkover victory for Jagiellonia.

They were also banned from UEFA competition in 2007 after riots in Lithuania. Funnily enough they lost that game as well - 3-0 walkover for their opponents.

Great fans - sporting, always doing the right thing and very honourable.

 

sadly you are absolutely right...

 

Yeah, sure, if Real Mamdrid or Barcelona or Man UTD or any other big club would be in Celtic's place, do you think people would stop supporting them? Of course not, few days they would talk how it is not classy or whatever and after few days, nobody would give a * In fact it has nothing to do with class, it has to do with protocol.
Just like this financial fair play * which is not respected many times or transfer ban for some clubs which is deleted few days after it.That is not classy.
Yes, they care about money, but stop talking *, because if you were in Celtic's place you'd do the same.
If Celtic had done what Legia did, I wouldn't have complained, because if a club administration is stupid and can not and don't know to do their work, it isn't other club's problem.
Also, why Celtic is not classy? because people used someone else's mistake, Celtic didn't break any rules of the game, Legia did.
It has nothing to do with Celtic, deal with it.
And using a non registered players is also breaking fair play rules, isn't it? Or just being incapable or dumb?

That is call remiss,incurious, negligent, unheeding, slovenly, whatever. The fact is this usually happens to East European clubs, because people don't do their job as they should do. Capitalism, my dear, and doing your job properly, if your administration can't do it, their problem.


Some Legia fans speak like Celtic paid to Legia's administration to make that error.

 

It has been claimed technical stipulations were breached including a failure to appoint a three-man committee.



But Pinto said: “It is correct that this decision was made by one person but this happens in most urgent cases because there is no time to fly people in.
“I don’t know the details of Legia’s appeal but if that’s one of their arguments it’s not really valid.”



If that is the case then legia will be reinstated. Due to Uefa making a mistake in their own rules so it is valid.


Just lets wait and see though but i would expect legia to be reinstated.



If any of us complain at the decision then we have a brass neck TBH!

 

Either you or I have read that Pinto quote wrong because to me it looks like he's saying Legia's appeal isn't valid, as he explained the reason why only 1 man was used.

I would say, not from a Celtic POV, that there is almost zero chance of this appeal winning as it will create such a huge mess and affect far more than just 2 clubs. UEFA would have to do both EL & CL draws again which would * off rich clubs like Arsenal - not a chance in * UEFA would risk that.

 

are they still whineing ?

 

The draws wouldnt need done again, either legia take our place against Maribor and we play Aktobe (kazakstan again) or the redraw the Champions route and compensate the clubs and redraw pot 4 of the EL draw.

I really think UEFA will reverse their decision!

 

Yes, there very racist people. Shame on them.


Cheats!

 

In all honesty I think it was a very harsh punishment on Legia. By footballing accounts they deserved to go through, their crime had absolutely no impact on what the result would have been.

Don't get me wrong if we're allowed to stay going through then I'll take it, but I understand how scandalous this all must feel for the Legia fans.

 

Celtic's board has no influence on UEFA's enforcement of their laws, you dumb *.

 

haha, got to say it made me laugh when legia said they wouldnt return our calls or answe our emails.
Legia are like a woman scorned

 

Officially anyway

 

Article 24 (1) of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations states that 1 judge alone can take decisions in case of urgency (given the imminent draw and the fact that next week the play-off round begins, the matter was very urgent).

I studied for the UEFA Players' Agent Exam last year (I failed by one mark :smiley-laughing002 and the essential literature for study details all of this. I fail to see how people employed by a football club, who presumably have a fair bit of experience, can be so * clueless.

With regards to the claim about the decision being invalid because it was taken by one person:

* me, they really don't know their * from their elbow, do they? :smiley-laughing002:

 

Apologies. I was typing my post as you posted.

 

That would be the most sensible thing, yes, but I can't see that happening. See Legia weren't anywhere near the same ranking or seeding as Celtic, and I think am right in saying that if they had gone through they wouldn't have drawn Maribor, which means if they get given them Maribor (and others) might complain that the draw isn't fair.

It would affect far more clubs than just us and Legia and it would open the biggest can of worms in UEFA history.

 

I think Uefa would know their own rules regarding situations like these and not make a mistake ruling on a mistake!

If it gets shunned tomorrow morning then thats it, going to CAS won't change anything.

 

They didn't redo the EL draw when we took the place of Sion nor would they redo this draw if Legia somehow win their appeal.

 

Legia did not include this thing about incomplete control and disciplinary body literally, but as a circumstance that might reduce the right to the defence if there is just one guy instead of the whole bunch of guys, the decision was legal and there is no doubt about it, its more about the article 17

 

This will not be over turned

Atleast when the decision is made tomorrow, the matter should be finished on this forum & we won't have to listen to the Legia fans blaming Celtic for their mistake
