As I am as what? Sorry, left my Tarot cards on the table.

I think he meant we are, at the moment, in a play-off place. Obviously he's looking forward to the time when we're clear of the play-off spots and in pole position

Don't forget that Wimbledon have 14 days to appeal and they've a [****!!****] hot Solicitor on the case. They've also taken the FA Trophy appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. May not be over for them just yet.

Not sure what happens here if AFC are succesfull. G&N have already been reinstated, beaten Rushden and play Northwich in the 4th round on 24th Feb.

I think they will be looking for to be compensated in revenue "lost".

 

I would think that they may get their sentance reduced enough to keep 'em out of the "money" league wise but I can't see them being successful v the F A.

Haha Local, playing mind games eh! We know all about Heybridge and we (as fans) will certainly not think they are auful as we are well aware of strengths they have. Remember, we have been in this league/old Ryman Prem longer than a lot of your new fans have seen Chelmo! It will be a tough game (if on) and i for one do not think they are auful. They have been up there in this league for many a season and it takes a decent team to get one over on them.

As for The Dons, my guess is that if on appeal they manage to have reduced it will be halved which if that is the case will certainly keep them in touch.

Spot on keith,

It never ceases to amaze me at how disrespectful some folk can be

[GazzaBTFC]

I missed the "hack down" comment...

 

Perhaps someone should do some stats on falling over in the penalty box of some teams?

[Simon BTFC]

I see AFCW are to appeal... their argument is that the punishment was disproportionate to the offence... Problem is that the punishment is laid down in the competition rules. Quite what will happen if they're still involved in legal action at a time when the play-offs are in progress is anyone's guess!

[Ryan.c]

The Ryman League did the right thing. They applied the correct punishment according to the rules, they were consistent. Whether you think the rules are right, is another thing. Wimbledon cocked-up, it happens. The whinging though will probably go on forever. It's Wimbledon V's the world.

[Ryan.c]

....and their points are not deducted until the appeal process has finished. Back down to 5th!

But isn't it always Squatters v the World?

It's Squatters v Wimbledon v The World in a tri-nation tournament. At least the world will benefit from the HUGE away support the other two will bring!
