Xavi has retired from international football but is staying at Barca. If he can stay clear of injury and his teammates are happy to take on a bit more workload, he's still got years left in him. When you have an ageing midfielder of top quality, you need to make sure you take some of the running burden away from him and this is something that we're trying to do with Gerrard, and something that Juventus and Italy have done with Pirlo.

Didn't Celtic get reinstated a few years ago because their opponents also fielded an ineligible player?

 

Yes. Sion.

 

 Celtic are a joke at the moment. I’m a big supporter as most of you know, love the club, but the board are absolute wankers. They have introduced a downsizing plan which is mainly aimed at the playing squad. It’s why Lennon left. Selling players like Hooper, Wanyama etc in recent years for big money by Scottish standards especially against the outlay, the TV revenue stayed the same even without the other lot in the spl and season ticket sales are still very high yet there is fuck all money available to flesh out the squad. It’s the worst Celtic squad I can remember seeing (I vaguely remember 94 and that was a really shit squad)

 

Commons and Forster will be gone this window I reckon and won’t be replaced. It is fucking ridiculous and because of the board I actually hope Celtic don’t get re-instated so they learn a valuable fucking lesson.

Because Legia fielded an ineligible player Uefa have decided to award Celtic a 3-0 win for the second leg taking it to 6-4 on aggregate to Legia.

 

Celtic progress to the CL third round and Legia are out - Uefa logic.

 

Erm.... if it was 3 nil it would be 4:4 , the Celts through on the away goal. 

 

Just saying.

awarding Celtic a 3-0 nil win makes it 4-4 on aggregate, as the actual 2nd leg is deemed null and void hence 'technically' Celtic go through on away goals...

 

Celtic are lucky bastards but Legia have only themselves to blame, unfair as it seems. Dont field ineligible players or you're out seems to be the only way to police it, despite it probably being an honest mistake like most (if not all) of these incidents usually are .
