UEFA has already come down heavily on Polish football club, Legia, for what most people think was the mildest of transgressions.
Instead of naming a player for the match squad and not playing him because he was suspended, they simply didn't name him for the squad for the duration of his suspension. They didn't even choose a replacement so they didn't even gain by having an additional player.
So when he appeared for a few minutes in a match already over as a contest as Legia were winning 6-1 on aggregate, UEFA decided to reverse the result and Legia lost their victory and place in the next round of the Champions League.
Celtic, the opposition on the lucky end of the travesty of a decision took their place and justice, of sorts, was done when they lost from a winning position.
But the fans of Legia just staged the protest in the picture. UEFA is investigating.
Hopefully they'll understand the fans' frustration and take no action. They really ought to be able to just issue a "watch it" warning. But don't bank on it.
Anything more will just be bullying.
