Monkey Tennis Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 It surely ranks up there with having all 6 Lotto numbers only to find out the ticket was invalid because it was for the draw the week before. Yes, it's a bit like that. As I said before though, applauding Celtic as they net a £20m payout (either legitimately, or this way), is more akin to delighting in Prince Charles' good fortune as he turns up six numbers.

Monkey Tennis Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 a) that the punishment was disproportionate and b) that the punishment was they were chucked out. ... I would not have had to repeat the ruling and reinforce it's significance if you did not keep posting irrelevant tripe in order to support statements that are clearly hogwash. Where Legia ended up is not the punishment meted out ... it's merely a consequence. Nothing more. You can keep chuntering on and adding filly prose to your posts ... but the basic facts speak for themselves. Hence I drag you back to them ... it's not my fault you refuse to understand. The punishment was disproportionate. Even leaving this particular scoreline aside, awarding half a two leg tie to someone by 3-0 for a very very late appearance of a player who'd actually served the suspension, is disproportionate. Necessary perhaps, but certainly disproportionate. As I said, I think there may well also be doubt about whether this would have been the penalty, had the scoreline been otherwise.

Monkey Tennis Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Loving your LNS reference Monkey. I cannot resist the connection.Apart from the fact that some Celtic fans wish simply to hide in the folds of the ruling, as did Rangers fans when they got a favourable one too, there's also the glaring contrast in how registration irregularities have been addressed. Legia don't get away with a genuine mistake which they flagged up and which did not benefit them in any way. Rangers get away with systematic registration deception over a decade and a failure to co-operate with investigators. Sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask you something MT ?, if it had been Celtic who were punished for fielding an ineligible player would you still be bleating about how unfair it was ?, something tells me you'd be laughing like fcuk about it.

I agree with your sentiments MT but how can things be changed? IMO only by us diddies being a lot better, challenging the top teams and attracting more support. Well, that was easy. Mon the diddies.
