stonedsailor Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It would sum up the luck of the Old Firm, if Celtic got this overturned on the strength of a 2 minute appearance when trailing 6-1; just as Rangers got nothing overturned after years of fielding dozens of improperly registered players over hundreds of matches. Rangers died is that not punishment enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 UEFA have only fined a team before for a similar incident (debrecen fielded an illegible player when 4-1 on aggregate at home in the final minutes) will be interesting to see what they do now that they have set a precedent beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I wonder how the Sevco fans will react if Warsaw get booted out and Celtic go through. Would the prize money be tainted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoopy1967 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 What's the Sion incident then? We lost 4-1 altogether but they fielded 4 or 5 ineligible players so we got the 3-0 win and went into the Europa League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 What's the Sion incident then? 3 years ago (I think) Sion fielded 5 ineligible players against Celtic, they signed them during a transfer ban for something which had actually happened 3 years previously but UEFA were just punishing them for it then. They also got a 34 point deduction in the Swiss league that season for the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieCFC Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The player in question wasn't in the squad for the St.Pats tie: http://legia.com/news,42499-kadra_legii_na_lige_mistrzow.html Thus the game at Murrayfield would have been game 2 of 3 of his ban. This all seems pretty cut and dry that Legia are fucked. But ye never know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It'll be a massive win for Lawwell, deals likely already in motion for Forster and Van Dijk to bring in significant cash. If Celtic benefit from a mistake on Legias part it guarantees European football as the play off round gives us group stages of champions league or Europa league.

RandomGuy. Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 As far as I can see the player in question (Bartosza Beresyznski) was ineligible as he wasnt named in the squad for the St Pats tie. Can't see how Legia will get around this. This is the squad they named for the Second Round, and its from the official Legia Warsaw website. Beresyznski isn't in it. So he should've been suspended for the two games against Celtic when named in the squad. Legion staff for the second round of the Champions League elimination: Goalkeepers: 1. Luke Budziłek, 12 Dusan Kuciak, 91 Konrad Jałocha Defenders: 2. Doss Junior, 4 Igor Lewczuk, Inaki Astiz 15th, 17th Tomasz Brzyski, Jacob Rzeźniczak 25th, 28th Lukasz Broz Midfielders: 3. Tomasz Jodłowiec, 8 Ondrej Duda, Michał Kucharczyk 18th, 20th Jakub Kosecki, 21 Ivica Vrdoljak, 22 Michael Kopczynski, 23 Helio Pinto, 32 Miroslav Radović, 33 Michal Gyro Forwards: 9. Marek Saganowski, 11 Arkadiusz Piech, 13th Wladimer Dwaliszwili, Adam Ryczkowski 45th, 70th Orlando Sa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atfccfc Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 There is actually Article 14: * A match is declared forfeit if a player who has been suspended following a disciplinary decision participates in the match. * A match may be declared forfeit if a player who is ineligible under the regulations of the competition concerned participates in the match, as long as the opposing club files a protest. It all comes down to wither or not he was registered for the St.Pats tie to serve the 1st 2 games of the suspension. All indications point to that he was not thus he didnt serve any of the 3 game ban. The rules above make it pretty clear that if he has played when he should have been suspended, the only possible outcome is to forfeit the match 3-0. It would be a joke if it happened but would take it if it happened. As said he never played against St Patricks Athletic. Was his illegibilty by suspension or non registration? The wording MAY BE is important and if Celtic also files a protest (knowing Peter Lawwell he would jump at the opportunity) If suspension then Legia don't have a chance. But if non registered then they can claim admin error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
