      - same happened to Hartlepool (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 3, 20:12:15
        
        They should be docked the point they gained and 2 extra points awarded to their opponents (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Apr 3, 20:39:42
        
        agreed, bit inconsistent to say the least. The rules state the FA just "charges" offenders (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 3, 20:46:41
        
        It's daft though. It's now possible to field an ineligible player if you have enough cash. (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Apr 3, 20:53:14
        
        the FA make a habit of cocking up with their stupid mistakes (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 3, 20:56:08

        No it won't. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 3, 21:05:38
        
        the clubs will point to the inconsistency in application of the rules (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 3, 21:08:37
        
        If lawyers get involved (Other Football) - emmaroyds, Apr 3, 21:13:02
