In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Nevermind, now we can all have the pleasure of watching Celtic get an even bigger thrashing at the hands of a better team than Legia.
Wow, that's ridiculous.
Stupid from Legia, but I'm glad for Celtic.
Although they're team is poor due to no investment or very little of it and probably wont make the CL...

Extremely unfair on Legia. Kicked out over an administrative error.
Hope Celtic get another thrashing in the next round.

Unfair on Legia? It is their own mistake, how stupid can you be to do something like that near the end of the game.
Glad for Celtic!
Glad for Celtic!
Their mistake was not registering him for St Patricks game.
Delighted for Celtic indeed. Deserved to go through based on wonderful two legs. So happy fecking cheating Poles are out.
Can Legia appeal the decision? Is there time?
Imagine how Deila and the Celtic players must feel about this, they ought to be properly embarassed to turn out in the group stages!
UEFA is a joke. FFS.
No, they can't. It's final, they are out of CL and into EL qualifiers.
Well the draw for the next round is happening very soon, so know I dont think they can do anything
Given that fixtures will be picked in what, one hour ? I doubt it. It's pretty much over.
Fingers crossed that Celtic crash the feck out against anybody they meet in 4th round. Simply don't deserve to go through.
As someone who lives in Scotland, and doesn't support Celtic or Rangers, it's natural that I depise both.
This decision is awful, I have celtic fans celebrating on facebook and calling Legia a bunch of cheats. Ughh.

You can only be suspended for games you're registered to play in. If they didn't register him then he was still suspended.
UEFA didn't throw them out, no matter how many times you say it. They applied the standard penalty for fielding an in eligible player, 3-0 forfeit. It just so happened that this resulted in Legia losing on away goals.
What fecking retards.
Wow they really went in hard on Warsaw.And only half an hour till the draw ,not much time to appeal.
Why didn't they do it when the team in question was Litex Lovech instead of Celtic?
I've answered my own question here though I think.
That's the rule, yes. Legia should have been aware of that but made an administrative error. The punishment here does not fit the crime, absolutely no advantage whatsoever gained, honest mistake and UEFA should have some sensibility. I'm done discussing it though, if people want to call us cheats and think Celtic somehow deserved to go through then they're probably within their right to think so. I'm pissed because I know well that it wouldn't happen to a bigger club and it's a daft decision.
There is probably a huge anti-Polish conspiracy. Well spotted.
Not anti-Polish though but UEFA do like to favour the big clubs.
I actually agree with @Sarni
I highly doubt for example, if it was us who were in Warsaws situation, that we'd be chucked out.

I don't think people on here would be saying 'rules are rules' either. Honestly, with applying rules you have to show some sense.
But, can you answer why the same didn't happen then?
Their reasoning was that Debrecen had "no interest in fielding this player for the three last minutes of additional time, when the score was so clearly in its favour".
Surely, the same happened in this game as well. Player came on in 86th minute, with Legia leading 6-1 on aggregate.
Well I don't work for UEFA, so I'm afraid I can't answer about their internal decision making process.
Excellent.
Hope Celtic get thrashed in the next round. The player for Legia who missed two pens must be feeling pretty bad.
This stupid cnut said that if there was the third penalty, he'd still be the one to execute it.
This is the both the SFA's and the SPL clubs' own fault. They offered the option to the clubs in the Premiership to vote on whether Rangers should be permitted to retain their status or be demoted to the lowest level. Pretty much out of spite they chose the later. It is difficult to imagine a worse case of cutting your nose off to spite your face and the subsequent lack of income from matchdays vs a powerful Rangers team has not only hurt the SPL teams but pretty much destroyed the league as a competitive entity and it's attractiveness to Euro players on the up and looking for exposure. They are reaping exactly what they deserve for their shortsightedness.
And Rangers are reaping what they deserve in the lower leagues.
Sorry, don't quite understand this. What was the big deal with some player missing two penalties for Legia? They won 6-1 on aggregate anyway, so how would it affect the outcome at all?
It's a ridiculous punishment. I am not saying it's against the rules to punish Legia this way - but it's still ridiculous.
And Ronny Deila (who is a brilliant manager and will get it right at Celtic) must be the luckiest guy on earth. Poor Henning Berg on the other hand...the unluckiest

They forfeit the second leg with a 3-0 loss so it's actually 4-4 on aggregate. Celtic go through on away goals.
First leg was 4-1 with the player missing two pens.
The second leg was a 3-0 forfeit win for Celtic. Celtic go through on away goals.
Legia fielded an ilegible player in the second leg so Uefa voided the result and made it 3-0 to Celtic. The tie was 4-4 after both legs and Celtic won on away goals. If the Legia player had scored either pen, they'd be though.
Well I posted in another thread that I'm really hoping that Celtic don't act as lowlife c#%s and appeal the possible 'unregistered' player brought on with 3 mins left in their match vs Legia Warsaw (got it right this time Sarni). They got thumped 6-1 and only a technicality is denying them undeservedly going through (the player in question had a 3 match ban for a red card from last season, he sat out the 2 matches in the last round and 177 mins of their tie vs. Celtic. The question is : did LP really forget to register him as one of the players in their EL squad for the previous round).
As it seems Celtic are appealing this then they have no shame, it's pretty pathetic and they don't deserve anything, pretty much guaranteed to turn neutrals against them.
I don't see any issue with the draw. You simply substitute one team for the other depending on whether any subsequent appeal from LW is upheld or not.

Celtic will be given a 3-0 win if the ineligible player ruling is upheld, giving them an away goals victory. Had the LW player scored even one of those penalties then LW would still go through.
Oops quoted the wrong poster - never mind.
What Duffer said !
UEFA can't change the rules after the fact. You may have not cheated but your club is guilty of gross mismanagement and have nobody to blame but themselves. A bigger club are unlikely to have made such a big error. Have you got examples?
And now the other SPL teams are suffering along with them. Shortsighted spitefulness in the extreme. Idiotic in fact. They could have found other ways to punish them, such as points deductions on top of their fines etc. etc.
