BlueStar Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah but if they stayed up and a team around them went down would be pretty harsh IMO If it's by that point they got from Southampton I could see a West Ham/Sheffield United situation. That might be fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sounds like they need to be on a register if they have fielded an ineligible Dong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Guaranteed they'll stay up by one point now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Premier league will be forced in to doing something, even if it is to remove them of that one point thry gained. Seems fair enough since that is what happened with other clubs. Stops any potential court cases against the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snoopythewriter Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Since you can't replay the entire League Cup, they should be deducted 3 points for every League Cup game that they won. 15 point deduction. Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Give their runners-up medals to MK Dons. Karma for 1990 as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 You can say it's only one point and a doomed cup run, but surely having a player on the pitch you shouldn't have may have improved your goal difference even by playing in games you lost?

cp40 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This could well be my favourite relegation of theirs tbh to think they decided after our 1 relegation we were the new yoyo club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Surely the FA will have loads of pressure on the, to act from other clubs down there, and rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This could well be my favourite relegation of theirs tbh Nah. Them and Boro getting relegation confirmed whilst our players celebrated qualifying for the CL on their lap of honour was truly sublime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 What's utterly brilliant about it all too is that it was someone as s*** as Ji that landed them in the clag. The game at Palace where he completely bottled that header from about 6 yards out, man. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 has there been any explanation offered as to why they were not deducted points? There seems to be some suggestion that the Premier League hadn't updated their website, however that's not the proper route by which to check. The funny thing is that while Poyet was Brighton manager he threw a massive fucking hissy fit because Hartlepool mistakenly played an ineligible player against them. Pools were deducted three points.

Big Geordie Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 FA surely have to take more action over this - fining them under the radar achieves what exactly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I can see a few teams taking legal action over this. Usually in the lower leagues this is a points deduction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If they gained a point in a game in which they fielded an ineligible player then it should be deducted. Survival may come down to a point here or there and it'll get pretty fucking messy if they're level with 17th come the final day. It'll run and run.

Dokko Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How can a governing body demand players, agents, clubs etc be transparent of cheating, bungs, match fixing then they go and brush one of their own rules under the carpet like this? It's disgraceful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Seems extremely dodgy that this was done underhand. With the money involved in survival nowadays, you would think their opponents would be looking very closely at the legal aspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 No faith in the FA to do the right thing in terms of consistency and dock them a point. Complete joke of a governing body. So glad they got outcorrupted by Fifa on the World Cup hosting rights palava. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I guess I could get my wish of a Korean sending Sunderland down in a roundabout way. Realistically the FA aren't going to go back on something that's already been decided though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
