Celtic - lucky or not!

[NWJocko]

Aberdeen were 8/1 to win +25 points. Decent value.

Might have a cheeky we bite on that :thup:

We've not a bad team and McInnes seems to be good. Probably too good for us and if we have another decent season could well end up back in England, or at Rangers if they ever get rid of McCoist.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Yep. He's a good goalie no doubt but Celtic could take Fulhams 4th choice keeper and still win the league. They've turned a good profit on him though.

Over the course of a season their team and squad are miles ahead of anyone else.

Not sure we have four keepers on the books but I take the point.

This happens every year with lower league clubs in the FA Cup. My local club Droylsden beat then league club Darlington then won an epic 4 match tie with chesterfield to reach the 3rd round and drew Ipswich only to be thrown out for fielding an intelligible player, cost them over £100k with lost gate receipts and tv money.

INTELLIGIBLE players are very rare sorry i couldn't resist.:thup:

Haven't read all replies, so I apologise if already mentioned.Stuttgart did the same thing against Leeds and a replay on a neutral ground was the decision.That would have been fairer . This could be embarrassing for Celtic if they fail again.

Legia Warsaw have written to Celtic asking if they can replay the game ?

Can that happen ?

Not sure. Surely UEFA have the final say

cant see Celtic will entertain that idea. Money money money. Plus they're were outplayed each game. Not much incentive.

 

[Dodger]

Legia embarrassed us in the game but now they are simply embarrassing themselves.

Got to agree. Harsh punishment or not, there's no reason for Celtic to do anything about it.

Entirely a matter for UEFA so why they wrote to us who knows!:lol:

PMSL

Oscar Pistorius has sacked his legal team. He's hired Celtic's as he heard they lost both legs & got a victory.

Legia Warsaw asking Celtic to 'to the decent thing' - Celtic being an historic club with a proud tradition of fair play etc. Hmm - I wonder...

On the one hand, I think it's a bizarre and desperate request.

On the other I seem to remember "sporting integrity" used to be quite important to celtic and their fans......

Why shouldn't Celtic take advantage of Legia's situation?

 

[FairwayDodger]

I think they are quite right to "take advantage".

 

[Val]

I think they are quite right to "take advantage".

Every club would.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I like the quote from Legia's owner

"It's not just about the money, it's about what football stands for, the values of honesty and honour. We still have a hope"

Aye right!

And off they may trot to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

Is it not a bit like a golfer being disqualified from his club's KO for breach of the club's rules and his opponent awarded the match.

It is not for the players to decide the outcome.

Did they not get awarded a 3-0 win for the rule breach. And because they lost 2-1 away they won on aggregate on away goals. Not sure that they were awarded the tie - just he 2nd leg. I guess Celtic could withdraw - does that mean Legia would be awarded the tie?
