Sheffield Wednesday

[tartanowl]

wtf are Bristol City doing loaning out Showumni ffs? They are supposed to be serious promotion candidates , their manager complains about a small squad and they let a relegation dodger have one of their better players.

Better players?

He is RUBBISH. 10 games he played for us and he did literally NOTHING. He is one of the worst strikers I have ever seen in blue and white stripes and I've had many years watching Wednesday and seen some right dross over the years. Despite being a big lad he can't head, he can't score, he's not exactly quick, and he has a first touch worse than mine. There is no way in the world he is even close to being a CCC player. Very poor footballer.

[Thracian]

As two of the loan players didn't even play a normal person (and others) would argue that it didn't infleunce the result.

You just want them deducted points so we stay up. They'll get fined and rightly so.

I doubt that's the case at all.

A team comprises its entire squad and that squad provides their choice of options during the game. As I understand it five loan players are allowed in a squad, not six. Fourteen clubs are allowed in a golf bag, not 15, although a golfer can only use one club at a time and may choose from any 14 clubs he likes.

If the rules were broken at golf the outcome would be simple. The player would be disqualified from the competition, no ifs, no buts, no exceptions. There is no way you'd be allowed to keep your score. Perhaps that's why the rules are respected by everyone.

Wednesday scored one goal and netted one point from the fixture concerned. No way should they be allowed to keep it. That it's Sheffield Wednesday doesn't matter. If Leicester ever find themselvews in the same situation they should lose the points. What relevence does a fine have and in what way is it a deterrent?

[Bryn]

I can see why people would see the point deduction being very harsh, it certainly would be, but I can also see that what's the point in the rule existing if it's not going to be properly enforced?

[RowlattsFox]

If a fine is the only punishment, some teams will now break the rule on purpose and take the fine.

Leeds got a £2000 fine a couple of years ago for exactly the same offence. Please tell me why we should have points deducted?

cos it'll help us.

Because the fine, pathetic and inappropriate as it was anyway, clearly did not have the desired effect of ending the problem.

[Scow]

I think a 10 point deduction would be fair.

[Jon the Hat]

This is quite clearly cheating. All points gained from cheating must be taken away in order to deter others from cheating.

Or just send them down now?

Or give US 10 points for no reason whatsoever

[FoxesFan123]

Whens a decision due on all this?

[Legend_in_blue]

Whens a decision due on all this?

The FA are not known for their haste in dealing with such matters. Probably be sorted after the end of the season. Just ask any Sheff Utd fans, I'm sure they'll be happy to help!

I've got to say Thrac, that is a brilliant example and i fully agree with you.

Damn right.

err isn't it pretty simple isn't it Leeds were only fined because they lost the game 2-1, you got a point and therefore should lose the point

[Jimmy]

because after that ALL clubs were warned by the F.A. and they LOST the match you got a point, at the least you should lose that

[Cobbo]

lets hope it stays that way for the full 90

[Cobbo]

For sure.

[DB11]

They'll only get a fine I think even though that match should either be replayed or awarded to Stoke

[Manwell Pablo]

This is quite clearly cheating. All points gained from cheating must be taken away in order to deter others from cheating.

It's an adminstrative oversight that in the grand scheme of things, didn't have anybearing on the result as two of the loan players in question played no part. It is no cheating, it is us grabbing at straws, you cannot fine one club a pathetic £2000 for an offence, then all of a sudden wack points deductions on the same offence when another club does it 12 months later.

I'll admit that fine needs to be increased in order to stop teams doing this. Something that is a bit more significant that 2 grand. but points deduction is way overboard.

the leeds thing happened last season so their punishment should have no barring on this 1, had it been this season i would agree with you

[Manwell Pablo]

Why does that have a bearing on it?

[Fat Ron]

We should be keeping a closer eye on the situation at Southampton instead of tit for tat on Wednesday!!

They are in the bottom 3 and on the verge of Administration apparently.

If they lose the next game, will the board do a Leeds and opt for Administration this Season to prevent the chances of going into League 1 with a -10 on the board?

Worth a thought, maybe?

Surely they wouldn't because there'd still be a decent chance of staying up. Better to at least try to stay in the Championship then go down with a 10 point deduction.
