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

Thats all I've been saying, the punishment is obviously just because it is the rule but I think the rule itself is over the top harsh and should be changed, I'm not saying Legia should be allowed back into the competition, they broke the rule so they have to suffer the consequences.

 

No they weren't,,,if they had won 4-0 at home they would be through
the cheating *, then I would want the rule changing because
it would have let the team that broke the rules progress.

 

He will have good days & bad days,that's life.

 

You can debate all day but they were dumped out of Europe because of the rule, end of story. The rule caused a forfeit which caused them to be kicked out due to the scoreline. Also cheating implies intent when it appears to all sensible observers they * up but did so with no intent.

 

No they didn't they lost due to ineptitude in the clubs offices, The rules are simple, Play a suspended player and forfeit the match.

It's not about supporting the rule it's about abiding by them to be allowed to compete.

 

If we win the first leg against Maribor 4-0 or better
should we play an inelligible or suspended player in the second leg
just to girfuy illegial. & accept the 3-0 ammendment with class

 

Drawing 4-4 as the amended score was they went out
on the away goals rule.
Not kicked out.

Not be a new thing for them to be cheating. The best cheats
do it without you knowing. These aren't that bright.

* it doesn't matter if it was intent or not,it shows a blatant disregard
& lack of respect to the competition that they didn't take the time
to learn the rules.

 

Who gives a *? They're scum.

 

Why are people still discussing this?

 

Ask yourself. Your'e one of them

 

I don't think the rule is harsh. In fact, it's bang out of order you can win the first leg 5-0 then field whoever you like second leg and still qualify.

Besides, what if this was all orchestrated so Legia can steal Celtic's seeded place? What if there is some other motive we just can't think of?

I've said it before, UEFA could've made it a 1-0 forfeit or a 5-0 forfeit, but 3-0 was chosen for a reason. It is not harsh.

The only way to stamp out corruption is to absolutely follow the rules and to make the rules clear. Not 'mibbies get a fine or mibbies no'.

Millions of pounds means double check your paperwork. Just because it's football doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

 

No it wasnt choose all over the world that is the walk over result, whether you play a player who wasnt register, who was suspended or if you get 5 players sent off the result is 3-0!!!

Uefa/Fifa and every national football associations adhere to that score line 3-0, what you think they say "oh hold on we will make it 2-0 or 8-0, lets pull * straws"

dont talk so much * son! go read up on walk over results, standard all over the world from Kazakstan to Pakistan, America - china its the same walkover result!!!

 

Does it really matter that he only played a few minutes? He was a suspended player on their team sheet either way.

 

EXACTLY

 

But they shouldn't be disqualified because of that.

 

Yes they should. Fact is if they had scored 1 of their 2 penalties then they would have gone through. Rules are rules and they broke them. It is a harsh lesson for them and i do feel sorry for the players at Legia, they were much better than us and dont deserve this.

 

Fair enough

 

Ok well let's put it this way, You have just got 3 points on your driving license a few weeks ago, fail to notify your insurance company and then get stopped by the police, who check all the details and find that your details are incorrect. your insurance is invalid and you've now been done with no insurance and may have your license removed depending on points already on your license.

This is basically what's happened to Legia.

 

Exactly. It's the standard walk-over result worldwide for a reason. It's not harsh.

Take more time when you type that was nearly impossible to read.

 

If the opposition side were to win 6-0 in the return leg then the 6-0 defeat would stand over the automatic 3-0 defeat but the other usual sanctions would still be put into place e.g. fines, lengthier suspensions or whatever UEFA deem appropriate.
