STRONG as an OX and TWICE as SMART
Today I found out that Croatia hates fun, as Vikingur, the upstart team from the Faroe Islands, got pummeled 5-1 at home by Rijeka.

I know almost nothing about the Faroe Islands, but I was holding out hope for an improbable run to the group stage.

It's an island that mainly deals in incest and loving sheep and killing whales. Hell hole. Thanks Croatia.

2-0. Not as bad as I was expecting although by all accounts Sociedad looked like they were on another level (they are).

Mr and Mrs Duck go and stay in a nice hotel.

One night they call room service for some condoms as things are heating up.

The guy arrives and says "do you want me to put it on your bill"

I really hate this defeatist nonsense from Dons fans, sorry. Real Sociedad are considered "a different level" because they are Spanish and were in the Champions League last season etc. Well they got ZERO points in the Champions League and Celtic got ONE POINT and how many times did we beat Celtic? Exactly. Zero times a million doesn't even equal one so by my estimates we are a million times better than Real Sociecrap.

BELIEVE! Three nil next week.

oi, at least we made a couple of semis way back when

we're still getting knocked out in the next round, but it's been fun routing Celtic seeing how absolutely no one here or in Scotland expected us to go through, it's been an absolute blast

you guys will get an easier team next round though, as because of the way the system works you've technically taken over our fairly high coefficient and thus are seeded in the playoff round draw

we're out in the next round mate; I love Legia, but unless Berg works magic, getting past Celtic is about the top of their ability - the aim always has been EL group stage and then trying to get second place

Indeed. Celtic were atrocious and there's literally no excuse. You just don't lose 6-1 on aggregate to us, it shouldn't happen under any circumstances. I'd boot their manager right after the game if I were them.

The funny thing is that of the two Norwegian managers, Deila is highly rated in Norway, while Berg is viewed as pretty mediocre. It's a funny old game, I guess.


Berg always struck me as a weird sourpuss, so I'm guessing he fits well in Poland? How is he doing otherwise?

It's really too early to tell. We're only a couple of games into the new season and despite his rather surprising CL success, we're 1-1-1 in the league, which is by all accounts a very poor start considering that Legia is the only team in this league with any squad depth. Winning the title last year was a formality, as he pretty much inherited a title-winning side and got the owners to spend on some additional (rather woeful) signings. Bottom line - jury is still out, although we are playing what could be dubbed positive football, something no Polish side has done for years and that is purely down to Berg.

Apparently Legia may have fielded an ineligible player (who was banned due to a prior red card) against Celtic.

There's nothing apparent about it, we have. The CEO is already in Nyon with the entire legal team. I hope he brought enough money with him otherwise he might get lynched when he gets back.

What are the potential (realistic) consequences of this? Could they be DQed, and thus let Celtic through?

That's what Celtic are counting on seeing how it was them who brought this up. The player in question was subbed in in the 86th minute when we were 6-1 up on aggregate. DQ is the harshest penalty, we could just get fined though, this has happened before in 2010 and the team in question escaped with a fine. This is UEFA we're talking about though and Poland doesn't have much pull with them, so...

Dunno, I don't follow Celtic or FC Sion, it's possible. I only know of a Hungarian team that was in pretty much the same position as us and they got a fine.

The situation is that we fielded a player that had been suspended for 3 games due to a red card from last season. He has in fact missed the 3 requisite UEFA games, but was apparently not formally registered for one of the games with Saint Pats.

Everybody's favorite sheep slaughterers, Shakter Karagandy, got knocked out by Hajduk Split despite having a 4-2 advantage from the first leg.

Also in upset alerts, FK Trencin have an away goal at Hull, Rosenborg and Molde got bounced by Karabukspor and Zorya Luhansk respectively, and the aforementioned Stjarnan of Iceland took out Lech Poznan.
