I haven't been living on here as much as I usually do, so apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseam.
With the second set of play-offs approaching what do people think of the reinstatement of Celtic in the Champs League.
Going by the letter of the law you'd have to kick Legia Warsaw out of the tournament, I get that. But it seems rather harsh. They had the tie wrapped up when the ineligible player featured for a whopping two minutes - and the aggregate score was 6-1.
I liked the approach of Legia; playing on the tradition and integrity of Celtic, and their great European triumph trying to bait them into the rematch. Celtic were never going to accept a rematch through fear of getting stuffed again, but still.
Should UEFA have changed the rules for this special circumstance?
It might not have been UEFA; but the circumstances were changed for Ferdinand.

To be honest, being beat by Maribor wouldn't really have that much of an impact on my look...
We're pretty gash right now, new boss, new style etc and do expect to be in europa lge this year....But you live in hope and believe in the football Dieties, the ones that dispel logic from football.

Fair play, Hector.
I've not seen you play much under the new manager so cannot really judge. Under Lennon you were a very will drilled outfit, I'm assuming there's quite a difference between the teams now? I doubt Lennon's side would have shipped 6 to Legia Warsaw.

hector you would shudder to think what would happen to you if you get through this qualifying tie especially if you get a group as hard as last seasons

It's my greatest fear, I can see our potential joy of qualification being short lived and completely evaporating when we get drawn with Madrid, Arsenal and Roma.

They substituted on a foreign player, and they done so realising that they had therefore exceeded the quota of foreign players permissible in those days.
