Just read that cas said that they can still fast track for monday without uefa agreeing have you heard this ed or anyone?

Heard this on Snyde tonight! Could have swore a heard Johnstone snigger as the news broke! Not ideal flying out there when there is a chance of being turned away and verdict reveresed! Surely eufa compitition, eufa rules! If reveresed this will make a mockery of the rule book ( not that I think we should be there) but opens up any rules in future could be questioned!

Matt this whole appeal bolox just drags on and on. Until it ends for sure we don't know what's going on do we? It's one thing people saying there's no chance of them getting it overturned but as long as it's still alive there is always a chance. I'm getting a bit sick of it all to be honest.

Legia's appeal will be heard on Monday by CAS.
It was official earlier on today.

Yeah TV are reporting the case will be heard on Monday. Fingers crossed the decision is upheld.

To be honest, I think we will be absolutely humped, so would gladly allow legia back in, except for the way they've blamed us for everything.

Let's face it, Johnstone and his mob know all about bending the rules.

Legia Warsaw, the club and supporters famous for fair play in doing the right thing. Just uploaded a pic showing their record.
1993-disqualified from winning league title for match fixing.
2007-kicked out of Intertoto cup because of crowd rampage, opposition awarded a 3-0 victory (hmmmm.)
2011- half empty stadium ban imposed for crowd rioting.
2013-racism trouble and has their main stand closed.
2013-forced to play in empty stadium due to police concerns for crowd safety.
2014- match abandoned after 45mins when their fans attacked opposition supporters.
Not really new to controversy, are they?

Good work tinytim we'll researched.killy

Tiny their past misdemeanors like now have nothing to do with us, we are faultless and blameless, cfc don't need need to explain anything, uefa should end this affair with an apology to us for being blamed for another clubs ineptetude

Drb. totally agree. But the point is that controversy and Legia seem close partners and they are not the innocent wee boys they make out. They screwed up big time and are going to eke sympathy from whoever by any manner fair or foul.

Uefa has refused to support Legia Warsaw's fast track application to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) despite the Polish side claiming they had backing from the football organisation.
It means the case could drag on for as long as two months with Celtic due to face the Slovenian side Maribor next Wednesday.
Uefa support would have meant a decision by CAS could have been made by Monday before the next stage of the Champions League qualification takes place.

Why would Eufa support a CAS fast track application for an appeal that was rejected by eufa? Is it just me or does this just not make any sense?

ED, Can you inform me if there are any cost implications that Legia will receive should they endevour to continually not respect UEFAs decision. Hail Hail
