Fined £2,000 with £1,000 suspended.

Fair?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It should be points docked, no question about it.

Absolutely pathetic. £2000 ? What the f*** is that sort of a punishment. Be interesting to see what happens to Bury now for fielding an illegal player in the FA Cup. They should expect no more than that.

 

[Gritt23]

Well the rule makers are certainly going to get people sitting up and taking notice with punishments like that.

Do you think they came up with £2000, and then thought, perhaps they were being too harsh, so decided to be generous and suspend half of it. "Now don't do it again, or that's going to be another one thousand of your English pounds that you must find."

Wasn't there a conference team who were heavily punished for doing someting similar?

 

[surrey jim]

but its the mighty Leeds United were talking about

 

[Bozza]

Aren't the details of the specific case that one of the loan players was a non-playing substitute and Leeds actually lost the game anyway?

Or should we ignore the facts, remember that is dirty, dirty Leeds and hand them a 20 point deduction?

 

[rospants]

hopefully they will go down anyway without having any points deducted

[beorhthelm]

one of the loan players was a non-playing substitute

probably the main influence on the decision, since they didnt actually field 6 loan players.

Yes, that's exactly what we should do.

When they gave the news out on TalkSport, they said it was because they had "fielded 6 loanees". I thought they said loonies, but then decided it couldn't have been, cos they normaly field more than 6 loonies a game.

What a f***ing surprise!

I f***ing hate Leeds!

Stwattwattwattwathorpe got fined 5k for not feilding enough 1st teamers in a JPT game, a game which they won anyway.

It's the same principle so how come the smaller club get the greater fine? ......mmm I wonder


and why the f*** does stwattwattwattwathorpe come out like that when I wrote scu nthorpe?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Well presumably Leeds can afford a better lawyer than Scunny.

And cuddly Uncle Ken Bates has always had his mates at the FA, end of.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Wonder if this is a case of the FA being terrorfied of what Bates would do,if they took points of them ?

 

[Starry]

It wasn't the FA, it was the FL who passed the punishment.

Mawhinny and his pals rather than Barwick and his buddies.

 

[dougdeep]

Cut off their goolies.
