ballsax Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Can anyone shed any light on this for me. Our reserves recently played a team that has just pulled out of the league. We were informed a couple of days ago that this team had now pulled out of the league, therefore our reserves lose the 3 points and the goals scored/conceded. However, the 2 lads that got booked still have to pay the fine for a yellow card!?! Surely if a game has, in effect, been wiped from history, you shouldn't have to pay? Perhaps an appeal of "What game are you talking about, could you show me proof it ever took place" would be sufficient enough?!! Any thoughts/ideas?

cb_fc Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Its a good argument. Why shud players pay these fines if the club doesn't benefit from the points and goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairydave Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 They still committed the crime is the argument, as is the points deduction is only to make it fair to all teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsax Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yea I agree that the points deduction makes it fair for everyone else in the league, but if they are going to withdraw the game from the record books, why can't they withdraw everything that happened during the game? The lads have no problem in paying the fine, and having watched the game myself, they were both yellow card offences in any level of football. On the flip side, had someone been sent off for punching for example, you couldn't really rescind that. It's a tricky one I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeww Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 the players committed a foul, they should pay for what happened at the present. The team couldnt help pulling out of the league, the players getting a yellow card on the other hard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
