HYPATHETICAL QUESTION

[BIGBADBUDDHA]

Scenario ; Bowers play Stansted on Saturday,IF this was the last game of the season and Bowers were 2 points clear at top of the league and Stansted had to win to take the title,"Right" now I play some ringers from the ryman league to make sure Bowers win the game.,As the punishment is just a fine and the loss of the 3 points GAINED Bowers would happily pay the fine not get 3 points and win the league all by cheating.The point I am making is surely Stansted should be awarded the 3 points but this has not happened at all this season,We and other clubs have played sides who have played ringers or banned players and the game has been called void with no points for any club,this has to change,Players petrol, any wages involved still have to be paid for a void game,We lost to Barkingside earlier in the season who played an ineligible player, they were deducted the 3 points but we didnt get them how is that right. To make the point more valid and less laughable substitute Bowers for Witham or Burnham ,

Totally agree mate!

[Silencer]

I always say the same thing mate, ridiculous. What happens with the goal difference?

 

Using your scenario, Say Bowers won 8-0............they lose the three points but does their goal difference stand?

i think you will find that no team in the ESL this season has been caught playing ringers the punishment for which is far harsher than that for mistakenly playing suspended players.

[Jenko]

I think mistakenly playing is just a cover for if they get caught! So they are ringers.

[SirGarfieldSober]

I think the match should be awarded to the opposition and the score recorded as 3-0.

therefore the team playing the inelligible players not only loses the match but suffers the goal difference negative as well.

 

job done.

 

even if it is for mistakenly playing a suspended player.

 

 

the only difficulty with the last part is the majic roundabout of players, means that if you sig someone the league need to be quick off the mark in communicating any previous red / yellow cards and potential suspensions.

 

 

i'll leave that the the powers that be,

 

 

 

p.s. well done to stanstead - best team won ...
