Not sure if this should be on this thread or the 'Blackadder quotes' one.

this definitely wouldn't have happened if it had been celtic putting on an ineligible player for 2 minutes. Something funny is going on here, why would they put an ineligible player on the bench in the first place

They were already 6-1 down which is the worst part. Would have made no difference
It appears that they thought he has completed his suspension as he missed the 3 games but as he wasn't registered for the 3 games they didn't count. Presumably the player now needs to miss 3 more games now?

I think most are to be honest, but Celtic have made no complaint or protest that triggered this. What should they do? If Celtic declined the place it would just be given to another eliminated side.

And Maribor (who?) put out Oscar Garcia's Tel Aviv quite comfortably this week.

Sorry, I didn't know that, I just assumed they scored none. I bow to your encyclopaedic knowledge of Scottish football.

Well, not really. I could barely point to Scotland on a map. But it was mentioned quite prominently on the BBC Sport website carrying this story, so not overly difficult to pick up.
So lets get this straight. The guy had seemingly "served" his 3 match ban over the 2 legs of the preceding tie, plus the first leg v Celtic...except they'd failed to register him for those games. So the suspension was deemed not served when he came on for the last couple of minutes at Murrayfield, with Legia already 6-1 up.
To boot them out for that is, IMO, ridiculously draconian. He HAD missed the 3 previous Champions League games, it was just an admin cock-up meaning those games he missed weren't deemed part of his ban. It made no material difference whatsoever to the tie, or the result.
You can absolutely guarantee that if this had happened to one of the big boys in Europe, UEFA would be falling over themselves to to "apply common sense" and issue a fine for the club and an additional ban for the player. Stinking decision.

Celtic go through to The next round we should have put a bid in for Dick to late now.

On the wireless this morning they described the player as 'illegible' , if that was the case how did they know who he was?
Being a Celtic fan as well as a BHA fan i don't agree with this decision as they were completely stuffed over 2 games, though the rules are the rules i guess, if you let 1 team of with a fine then Barcelona might do the same thing with Messi and only expect a fine. There has been a lot of posts taking the micky out of Celtic here, but they have beaten Barcelona and Man UTD in recent years in the champions league with a small budget compared to the premier league.
