Legia making a last-ditch pitch to get back in the Champions League, appealing to Celtic to choose to withdraw.

This whole thing is bullshite. A clerical error caused it and didn't the guy play very little of the beat down they gave Celtic? UEFA is a joke to dq them. There is zero chance that they would have dq'd Celtic if the shoe was on the other foot.

Celtic were unmoved after Legia Warsaw called on their "best traditions of honour and honesty" in requesting that the Scottish champions agree to a further meeting to determine which of them should progress in the Champions League.

Celtic were on Friday handed a lifeline in Europe's premier club competition after Legia were punished for fielding an ineligible player in their 6-1 aggregate win over the Scottish champions in the third qualifying round


quote:

"We are disappointed by Legia Warsaw's comments," the statement read. "This is entirely a matter for UEFA and its processes. Accordingly, we will reserve further comment for the appropriate time."


The Irish Club has no shame.

This is like playing next goal wins when the score is about 10-1 (or 6-1) in favor of one team, and the losing team gets a lucky goal.

Also, UEFA should fine them for this BS.

There is a way to handle adversity in life while maintaining your dignity, but unfortunately you decided to opt against fraternising with such decorum by berating the wrong people after you were demoted from the Champions League to the Europa League.

Nobody is disputing the fact that you were far superior to Celtic over the two legs of your recent joust in the penultimate round of the Champions League qualifiers. A 6-1 winning margin over the two legs probably flattered Celtic, but there was a way to react to the misfortune that has visited your door.

In continuing to wail loudly like a child not getting its way in lamenting your club's plight, you have exhausted the vast reserves of goodwill Legia stockpiled in the aftermath of UEFA's harsh, but ultimately fair decision to award the tie to Celtic on away goals due to the second leg being null and void.

This is all only an "injustice", as you call it, in your own mind.

In sending what amounts to a poison pen letter to Celtic and going public with your grievances, however ill-advised they are, you lost the moral high ground. It could be argued, you have brought the game into disrepute by your actions.

Celtic nor UEFA have anything to do with the decision. If you are frustrated and angry with Celtic, then you can join the club. Celtic have plenty of haters out there. Another one to the list will not make much difference.

Whether or not you can stomach the thought, your elimination from the Champions League is all down to your own self-harming.
