Hartlepool - Ineligible Player [Merged Threads]

[El Turi]

Hartlepool played an ineligible player against us (someone who was suspended). Surely we should be awarded the points?

Hmmm... interesting. What happens now then? Maybe Mr Stelling would enlighten us?

Surely a points deduction ?

 

[Everest]

Very interesting.

I'd expect the game to be replayed at the best, more likely a fine and/or points deduction for Hartlepool.

 

[New Carpet?]

Surely a replay of the match should be a bare minimum?

I know it's a different football association, but when Dunfermline fielded an illegible player against the mighty Stenhousemuir in the Scottish Cup earlier this season, that's what their penalty was.

That was a bit of a colossal pisstake though, considering Dunfermline had won 7-1 in the original tie. No prizes for guessing who got through the replay...

Tin Pot club!!!

How the hell do you let that happen.

IDIOTS!!

 

[Beach Hut]

Thinking about it is the referees job to ensure all players are registered and also check on how many cards they have received ?

 

[Rookie]

Just reverse the result, simple

Behave yourselves, as if the FA are going to replay the game or give us the points

Hartlepool contacted the FA themselves and alerted them of the error, they've been charged and I'd be very surprised if anything more happens.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Can you imagine a re-match. Of all the places...

 

[Mackenzie]

It'll become more of an issue if we're relegated!

 

[bhaexpress]

They'll get a fine, would be fair if we had the option of a replay though.

I think a few other clubs at the foot of League One will be a bit pissed off....if you can get away with a fine, then it makes a mockery of the whole suspension system - rich clubs would just ignore it. It seems Harlepool have a few weeks to explain themselves, but you might expect the likes of Tranmere, Orient, Oldham and Gillingham to be taking an interest.

It is impossible to say how much effect one player had on the result, one pass,tackle could have totally changed the game. They should lose the points and they should be given to us. There must be a president somewhere ?

Somewhere in Russia I believe!

We should just play Murray today, better get a fine than go down! EASY.

In Orient end up in the bottom four Barry 'Rentagob' Herne will have something to say.
