Droylsden-Chesterfield

[lavrentis]

Adios Droylsden

I bet if a bigger club was to do this, this would not happen to them.

My thoughts exactly.

Harsh.

[Joe.]

My thoughts exactly.

Harsh.

Well to be fair the man who scored both goals was the inelegible one so it's fair enough in my opinion. Just very careless from Droylsden.

R.I.P Dave Pace

[Darkzzz_]

I didn't even know the guy was unable to play in this.

So to be fair they have been dealt with in the right way by the FA.

Shame, but rules is rules.

[Corky]

It doesn't look good for him.

When a similar thing happened to Bury a couple of seasons ago, they were kicked out of the cup.

Apparently Droylsden thought the ban would start on Boxing Day. It didn't - it starts on the first game 14 days after the 5th booking.

I don't think they have a leg to stand on.

And the opposition in the third round that year was Ipswich, just like this year. Incredible.

Droylsden appeal fails.

Droylsden manager and chairman Dave Pace told BBC Radio Manchester: "It is ludicrous as we have beaten Chesterfield fair and square on the field"

Except they hadn't.

Pace and his club have behaved like total amateurs throughout the whole time this saga has dragged on.

He makes even Neil Warnock seem sane and reasonable..

Warning to future clubs - Avoid Ipswich Town Football Club in the FA Cup 3rd round.

He's a knob- "Fine us but don't throw us out".

How about in future you read the rules properly, then you wouldn't put yourself in this situation?

What a pillock.

[Brainy]

Problem is that he probably read the Premiership set of rules.

[Ultra]

Not even Premier League clubs could have got away with what Droylsden did.

[act smiley]

If it were someone like Stoke or West Brom, sure, but for a select few I'm sure they'd merely do a slap on the wrist fine or something - the FA don't have the balls to touch any of the big clubs, even if they had them bang to rights like they do Droylsden here.

[Ultra]

I doubt whether any Premier or Football League club would be daft enough to tell a player he could play, even though they had written notice that a suspension was in force.
