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

Ah you are in their meeting, great. What sort of food they giving you - croissants?

 

Still no news on Talk Sport.

 

Thinking the same otherwise they would have made a quicker decision than a 24 hr turnaround

 

Have a * horrendous feeling they'll win this appeal now.

 

Nothing to worry lads. They can't put cheats back in and remove the team from the competition that played by the rules

 

Hope you are right mate

 

They wont win the appeal! that would open a big can of worms, any other team ever banned or whatever for similar offences would then be like wait a minute! all this * they are coming out with, the let football win pish is for there fans! it is * me off though, making us seem like the bad guys in this.

 

Or alternatively they are in no rush to make an announcement as nothing is going to change. If it were, then given the logistical nightmare it presents in terms of changing of ties, they'd be announcing their judgement asap.

 

the decision was about to be made at 1pm, but it has been postponed

 

They won't win this appeal at all.
It will open a massive can of worms where teams will play anybody they want and what receive a paltry fine. NO CHANCE.

They messed up and played a banned player, there is no "IF'S or BUTS" about it.
3-0 Forfeit, * THEM !!!

 

so funny :icon_mrgreen:

 

I think it takes time because UEFA wants to cover all aspects, and concerns that Legia has had, so that the decision will be more difficult to appeal to CAS, and make more sense. I would be very surprised if UEFA changed opinion, as it still regards a team that has not followed the rules for suspension, and if they don't want the rules to change, there would be no concerns. I think the intepretation of the rule is correctly interpreted.

 

Oh so you weren't in the meeting so you know * all?

So funny

 

they wont win there appeal ,but will have to go Thu the motions ,,mon the hoops ,,slan carras

 

That makes it worse that they have moved from 1pm to tomorrow

 

Bear in mind that's from their side. It was reported here yesterday that the announcement wouldn't be made until Thursday even Friday.

 

They've no chance

 

They won't change it when the tie is even closer, teams won't be able to get flights etc. There delaying it which in turn will delay there cas, which will mean it'll be too late. Haha.

 

Oh well another nervy 24 hours then...

 

The reason is that they found inaccuracy in the rules:

18.01 In order to be eligible to participate in the UEFA club competitions, players must be registered with UEFA within the requested deadlines to play for a club and fulfil all the conditions set out in the following provisions. Only eligible players can serve pending suspensions.

18.04 Each club is responsible for submitting an A list of players (List A) and a B list of players (List B), duly signed, to its association for verification, validation, signature and forwarding to UEFA. These lists must include the name, date of birth, shirt number and name, nationality and national registration date of all players to be fielded in the UEFA club competition in question, as well as the surname and first name of the head coach. In addition, the lists must include the confirmation by the club's doctor that all players have undergone the requested medical examination; the club's doctor is solely responsible for ensuring that the requested players' medical examination has been duly performed.

18.05 The club bears the legal consequences for fielding a player who is not named on list A or B, or who is otherwise not eligible to play.
