Case is between Legia and UEFA now, might drag on for a while. Good luck Celtic in the last qualifying round.
It's not because a rule is clear, that it is "just". But that's another debate, it's the Celtic forum, not a forum for judicial review :P
@poster above: We are well aware of this! The debate is about whether there should be such an extreme difference in discretionary power for the...
Well, not all punishment comes in forms of forfeit or disqualification. There's always the possibilility of introducing monetary penalties, maybe...
The other scenario is obviously the "Debrecen-scenario" of fielding a "plain" ineligible player. It makes no sense to give UEFA's disciplinary...
FYI, relax, I am a Celtic fan too (since 2005-ish), and I will support them against Maribor. I know some other people "hate" Celtic for what has...
Truth be told, the chances of CAS overruling anything are probably < 1%. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
It is up to CAS to decide whether it is "right" that a team fielding an ineligible player, who also happens to be suspended, should face a...
The only chance Legia has at CAS is to argue that there is an unreasonable difference in treatment between two different scenarios involving what...
CAS decisions are legally binding to the fullest extent. They can only be overruled by the federal/supreme court in the country where its...

I apologize for some of the over-the-top Legia comments in the past week, some of them [Legia sympathizers] are so starved for CL football, they...
There is a general principle in CAS (and the Federal Supreme Court, when appealing CAS decisions) rulings that even results following from a...
Not sure what there is to laugh about. As I said hundreds of posts earlier, UEFA was always going to pass the hot potato to CAS, which has much...
Appeal to CAS is being filed as we speak. Soap continues.
It has nothing to do with setting a precedent. If Legia can point out an inconsistency in the current regulations, then we might see the...
If it goes to CAS it's anyone's guess. Or as this sports lawyer puts it :...
The point that Legia will argue before CAS is that not including their player in the previous round is a purely administrative error, since they...
CAS can requalify violations of sports authorities' regulations. If they find that Legia has a valid claim based on a purely administrative error...
Good one :D
