dave bunt Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 How can Crystal Palace play a fifteen year old boy in last nights game when all clubs in Cornwall are told a player must be sixteen to play mens football?

Weeman Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 I noticed that as well St Day no1 and was going to ask if its a Cornwall FA rule to be over 16
David Bray Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Cornwall FA and other counties are bound by the rules and regulations relating to players under 16 years of age involving children not registered at Football League Club's Centre's of Excellence.
A One And A Six Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 It wasnt like that in my day! I was a mere pup at 15 when i made my debut for Illogan all those years ago! Well, wasnt that long ago, im only 21 now!!! Its a tricky rule, because some under sixteen's are mature enough (both mentally and pyschically) to play mens footy (like i was) and they want to play but they're still classed as children and therefor have to be protected by rules and regulations that prevent them from harm. Probably best to leave things as they stand however frustrating it may be for those keen youngsters.
