BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I missed the game. I know the first went wide. No sure about the 2nd. But apparently Forster had a stormer and stopped them from taking a right doing. If 4-1 is not a doing, what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If 4-1 is not a doing, what is? Fair point. Aberdeen lost 2-0 away to Real Sociedad last night. Once they settled into the game after about 20 minutes the Dons were pretty badly overmatched, which was no real surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26118 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 "Celtic have been fighting for many years with the best teams in Europe," said Norwegian Deila. "It is stupid the Scottish coefficient is not regarded as good enough." "That's wrong because you have to take into consideration the club, not the country. "We need the biggest clubs in the Champions League, who have deserved it. I for one feel cheated that we aren't going to have one of the 'biggest' clubs in the Champions League.

Howay 12447 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I for one feel cheated that we aren't going to have one of the 'biggest' clubs in the Champions League. Should just pack the CL in for the year tbh, what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 0 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 While Deila may have a point that Celtic shouldn't have to go through 3 qualifying rounds, a team that loses 6-1 on aggregate to Legia Warsaw can have no complaints that they are not among the 32 teams in the group stage.

Meenzer 13924 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Looks like Legia might have fielded an ineligible player. Fucking hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26118 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A player who came on two minutes before the end of the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4948 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I love how the technicality isn't actually that they would automatically go through as a result of the judgement - it's that they would be awarded a 3-0 victory for the second leg, which would mean they go through on away goals I can't imagine how awful I'd feel about that as a fan of LW. I actually think they'd be more embarrassed than anything else, by going through after being this poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 0 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Aberdeen predictably knocked out by Real Sociedad. Lost 3-2 at home for a 5-2 aggregate. Was more amazed we were 2-1 up tonight to be honest! Conceded two late goals after really going for it. Proud of them for not embarrassing themselves against vastly superior opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13804 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I know It's got to be about money really. However I do think rules should be consistent - if Warsaw are penalised with a 3-0 defeat for fielding an ineligible player - why weren't Sunderland for fielding Ji-Dong Won? I appreciate it's two different governing bodies but there needs to be some consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26585 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Unbelievable. (and it isn't the first it's happened, is it?) To be fair to UEFA, they must have been under enormous pressure from the likes of Bayern, Barcelona, Real Madrid etc to allow Celtic back in order to benefit from a potential money spinning tie with the Scottish giants.

Holden McGroin 4795 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Surely some common sense should prevail. He played 3 minutes. Surely a big fine and slap on the wrist would have be sufficient. The amount of money Legia are going to lose for this will be massive. Someone will be getting their P45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it's two different governing bodies but there needs to be some consistency. They aren't even consistent with their own rulings. However, in 2010, Uefa fined Debrecen £15,000 but rejected a protest from opponents Litex Lovech, who wanted the Hungarian side kicked out of the tournament for fielding an ineligible player. Debrecen argued that they fielded Peter Mate in good faith as a substitute in Bulgaria when they were leading 4-1 on aggregate. Uefa ruled that Debrecen had "no interest in fielding this player for the three last minutes of additional time, when the score was so clearly in its favour".

ewerk 26118 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Though given how badly they performed over the two legs, there's a good chance they'll get hammered in the next qualifying round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
