Hartlepool - Ineligible Player [Merged Threads]

[Kosh]

So a Liddle does indeed - go a long way.

Cheats says I... Make them play their remaining fixtures with 10 men.

We should be awarded the match and it should be recorded as a 3-0 win to us , with Hartlepool automatically relegated.

 

[bhaexpress]

I am sure that if Hartlepool do get points docked we won't get them.

what are the football league rules on this

 

[perth seagull]

They should have to forfeit the result, so we get awarded a 2-0 win, plus a fine for them on top of that.

im sure ive seen this in the conference table-

*deducted two points for fielding an inelligible player

Cant remember if it was when it was two points for a win or not, but im sure we wont profit from it.

Football League Regulations:

38.3 Any Club playing, in a match under the auspices of The League, a Player who is under suspension by The Football Association may have three points deducted from its score and/or be liable to such other penalty as the Board may decide.

It happened in League One, f*** All will happen except maybe a small fine and a wrist slap. If it had happened in the Premiership we'd be hearing about it for a week and the team would be docked the points.

jeff sterling very worried about this very silly error by pools

 

[Barrel of Fun]

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.

Why not? Being that it is (probably) a dead rubber game should be neither here nor there. No doubt some 'bright spark' will point out that he didn't score, so the result should stand...

 

[Djmiles]

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.

Agreed.

 

[Brian Fantana]

They HAVE to be docked points if the integrity of the suspension system is to be maintained.

He didn't score - so the result should stand

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He didn't score - so the result should stand

That's beside the point. He may have made the tackle which gave them possession to go on and score.
I think they should be deducted the 3 points they won but nothing should be awarded to Brighton.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I don't think there is a chance of it being replayed, but points deduction is definitely going to be there punishment.

A football Association or league can award points or deduct points but cannot award a score as there are specific ways in which a goal can be scored according to the rules and laws of the game. When I was on Surrey FA we often came across this problem and usually if time permitted ordered the game to be replayed and fined the club or if not deducted the points and awarded them to the opponents with a 0 - 0 score line.

Dock them the 3 points is the only way to stop any other club complaining

Hartlepool Fielded Ineligible Player

Can't see it mentioned anywhere......Hartlepool fielded an ineligible player against us on Easter Monday - Gary Liddle was suspended after picking up ten bookings yet still played for them.

Could be three more points in the bag for us.....

Hartlepool fielding an illegimate player

What all this about a possible points deduction for pool after the fielding of an ineligible player against us last week?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I imagine Hartlepool will lose the 3 points from the game, don't expect them to be given to us however.
