    Going by that logic then surely over the course of two games you cant come to the conclusion that Legia are better than Celtic. After all, things aren't that black or white in reality.

    I expanded on it quite a bit. For the last couple of transfer windows you are constantly weakening the club. That`s why with each year the product you put out on the pitch gets worse, currently being worse than a teams like Legia for example (it was pretty much a pre-season for Legia as well with subs playing in first 2 games of the league and in supercup), and since it was an official game that pretty much defines a season for Celtic I am sure it wasnt approached as preseason by Celtic).

    Also, because of that you are selling less and less season tickets every year, brining less revenue to a club, causing further cuts in spending and weakening the club even more. Downward spiral.

    And apparently deluded fans not being able to notice that are also a problem

    My quote on this thread from an hour ago:

    "They were the better team over 2 legs, and it's unfortunate without doubt - but not one Club in Europe IMO would show "honor" and * away the chance of £20M when the opposition have made a * of player registration.

    Not Celtic's doing, and we move on."

    Where exactly am I questioning who was the better team? All I am doing is stating you are continually bleating, when the blame lies solely with Legia.

    Here's another quote for you:

    “The guilt does not lie with UEFA or Celtic but with Legia. The people who are responsible for it have turned out to be completely incompetent. As the head of the Polish FA I would always try to help Legia or any other Polish team.
    “I called, I asked, I got strongly involved but the provisions for which Legia were punished left no doubt. It had to be a walkover."

    This, from the head of "your" FA.

    And another quote:

    “The fault in this whole affair is not with Celtic, just us.
    “This is today’s football. If you are not vigilant at every step you’re out of the game.”

    This, from the substitute in question.

    The attempt to bring Celtic in to this borders upon pathetic.

    Not, however, as pathetic as that poster appeal re "letting football win" with a sequence of gangrenously ugle * with sulky faces holding up pieces of A3 card. Jesus, that was embarrassing.

    You certainly know a lot about a "*" club like Celtic.

    And the Glasgow colloquialisms...?

    Must suck to be a Legia fan, biggest result in their history against the mighty Celtic and all taken away from them because they can't do paperwork properly.

    Ha.

    If his English was not that good, I would suspect that he is from Glasgow. Native speakers tend to mix up things like "there" and "their" more often than foreigners.

    I think it's a shame that you are unwilling to answer a
    simple question,yes or no ?

    in reality it is in black & white, he was suspended.

    Now just admit it, it's the first step on the road to recovery.:rolleyes:

    You dont have any far reaching consequences. UEFA can still award a walkover even with a word ;may; included in the rule itself. Sure, because having to register 24 players that can actually play instead of 25 is a terrible punishment and missing out on that is weakening the suspension by a lot. Get real. Besides, Legia registered only 23 so they had additional space. It does increase the stupidity of an admin, but it also shows that they havent benefited from this mistake against St. Patrick or Celtic. So no, there are pretty much no consequences to changing that rule by adding ;may; in there. i dont believe anyone is talking about removing the rule itself.

    And honda: thanks for compliment. My decent english is thanks to a fact that I actually live in Canada for almost half of my life. Also, don`t be surprised by language abilities of Polish youth. I am sure over 70% are better at English language skills than at least some of the native speakers. Polish educational system up to post-secondary is top-notch (at least compared to Canadian)

    how are we on a downward spiral?? We won the league last year losing only one game we played in the champions league and brought in alot from player sales the only reason for the result vs legia is the change of manager if Neil Lennon had still been here the result would have been vastly diffrent

    Your club plays in a more competitve league than ours, has almost 3 times the population of Glasgow and yet you could only dream of attendances like ours.

    Small, *, nonentity of a club who will be quickly forgotten once the vote goes against you today.

    One of the most cringeworthy things I can recall in football - even the huns wouldn't embarrass themselves by doing such.

    The best bit was them saying football figures around the World are supporting their fight - Deco, Lewandowski and Egil Olsen. EGIL * OLSEN :smiley-laughing002:

    1st: Won a league against what competition?
    2nd: player sales are a problem since quality replacement havent been brought in
    3rd: Quality of players remains the same and I dont believe there was anyone in starting 11 that would start in Legia in those 2 games. So no, having different manager or different tactics (I assume you suggest counter-attacks, but where would the pace or passing game come from?) wouldnt change the final outcome. Of course the final score in both games (the one on the field) maybe wouldnt be as one sided, but Legia would advance comfortably anyway.
    4th: Champions league. You beat Elfsborg (barely), Shakhtar Karaganda (barely), and got toal of 3 points in a group stage thanks to a win (barely) at home to Ajax. Not exactly a show of strength, rather thanking UEFA coefficients from the past for an easy route to CL

    Looks pretty pathetic and did you get any stronger since last season? Or do you just keep selling out and bringing cheap replacements on loans?
    Still not seeing the problem?

    Your polish league is just as bad if not worse. I think your club should be investigated further. If you've been caught cheating at the highest level in the Champions League, * knows what the club has been up to at domestic level. :40::smiley-laughing002:

    I felt bad for Legia's players and fans until two things happened.

    1. The smear campaign against Celtic. It's got nothing to do with Celtic.
    2. Recent revelations that Legia had been warned from within about the suspension. That went from an admin error to complete ignorance.

    Lads, I am fairly certain Damian13ster is not Polish and is indeed a supporter of the new club. Living in a foreign country and being able to speak a couple of languages I am stunned at this level of English when typing and addressing peers casually.

    Damian13ster, can you please sum up your feelings about Celtic's poor ticket sales in Polish? If you succeed then egg on my face, fair play. However, if you give us a dodgy Google-translate number my Polish peers will quickly find you out.

    Either way, I wish either of your teams good luck in Europa League or the Scottish Championship.

    Do widzenia.
