Guest oa_exile Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Prize money certainly would go to chesterfield. But doubt they would do anything bout gate receipts as remember FA get a share of those Agree but if they pick up a fine then the gate reciept's, their share from the games will be lost with the fine....get my drift Edited December 24, 2008 by oa_exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordy Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I think they should Replay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohh Johnny Eyre Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I think they should Replay it. The FA set a precedent with Bury two years back. They must boot them from the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astottie Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Agree but if they pick up a fine then the gate reciept's, their share from the games will be lost with the fine....get my drift it would be desperately sad for them to get kicked out in this way but it's not looking good. I can't see how anything else could be done. Only thing in their favour is that they are a part time club also - just thought of this one - couldn't they argue it wasn't a replay of last weeks floodlight tie but the same game being played and he was available for that so theoretically the game was played last week not last night? I know i'll go and get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The FA set a precedent with Bury two years back. They must boot them from the competition. They set another precendent with West Ham the same season....think we know which one'll apply to Droylsden though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Should just kick them both out and give Ipswich a bye. Not like either of them will get anything down there anyway. How very dare you!! We're talking about the greatest cup competition in the world, in which the promotional posters say "all men are equal"!

leeslover Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 They set another precendent with West Ham the same season....think we know which one'll apply to Droylsden though The difference is, Droylsden will have a big commercial pull in the competition now, whilst Chesterfield - well, they're still Chesterfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYLEOAFC Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 FA Statement Wednesday, 24 December 2008. The FA can confirm that it is making enquiries into Droylsden's apparent fielding of an ineligible player in their FA Cup Second Round tie against Chesterfield last night. The enquiries relate to defender Sean Newton, who picked up his fifth booking of the season on 9 December . According to The FA's Disciplinary Regulations, he was therefore suspended for one match from yesterday, Tuesday 23 December. Droylsden were informed of the suspension on 10 December, which was then confirmed by the club four days later. Clubs are aware that they are responsible for checking that their players are eligible to play in any given match. The matter will be dealt with by an FA Cup Committee hearing on Monday 29 December, in order to resolve it before the FA Cup Third Round match against Ipswich Town on 3 January 2009. All three clubs affected are being kept informed of developments. Their fooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrikkiNikki Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Messy. Can't see it being overturned, which is a shame as the tie against Ipswich would have been profitable for the club. Still, rules are rules, and they really should have been more attentive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYLEOAFC Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) FA Statement Monday, 29 December 2008. An FA Cup Protest Sub-Committee met today to consider the case of Droylsden FC. The Sub-Committee ruled that in playing defender Sean Newton against Chesterfield in The FA Cup Second Round on Tuesday 23 December while the player was under suspension, Droylsden FC had breached FA Cup Rules and should be removed from this season's competition. Chesterfield will therefore play at Ipswich Town on Saturday 3 January 2009 in the Third Round. The Sub-Committee also ruled that the FA Cup Prize Fund payment of £30,000 should be redirected to Chesterfield FC. There is no fine imposed against Droylsden FC and the club's participation in future FA Cup competitions is not affected. Any appeal against the decision must be lodged with The FA by 9am tomorrow and the appeal would be heard on Wednesday 31 December. When bury got kicked out, Was it Ipsbitch they should have played also? Chesterfield have never played Ipswich in any league or competition its the only one of all 92 league clubs they havent previousley played omen lol Edited December 29, 2008 by KYLEOAFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I don't know the rules back to front, but wouldn't a player who was suspended for the (last) abandoned match have been ineligible for the re-played game? Like any FA cup replay? So shouldn't a player who was eligible for the (last) abandoned match have retained that eligibility regardless of any other incidents? And then be suspended for the next relevant game bar the game being replayed? Seems to be a bit of a heads I win / tails you lose situation? Would a player who was suspended for the last abandoned game have been able to play in the replay even if there had been no other games played inbetween?

It would have been interesting if this had been Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. I really wonder, would the FA really throw 1 of those 4 out of the FA Cup? There again, Droylsden's Secretary is very experienced and unless he had received a reply from the FA to his fax, should have advised the manager not to let the player take part.

Lookers_Carl Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 They set the precident when Bury got chucked out for the same reason And i really dont think one of the big 4 would give a about being knocked out, as this cup plays 3rd fiddle to Champs league and prem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 They did chuck West Ham out of the League Cup a few years back. But they wouldn't deduct points off them the other season would they !!!! Never been such a stitch up in football. The recent legal case that Sheff Utd won proves that WHU were in breach of the transfer rules but the FA bottled out of deducting points off a premier league side. Far easier to do it to the likes of Luton and Bournemouth etc becuase they like nothing better than kicking a lower team when they are down and nearly out. But hey , touch a premier team - never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) The saga is not over yet, there's an appeal on Wednesday. Supposing Droylsden win that, will there be a counter appeal - and who will play Ipswich on Saturday ? Maybe both teams will turn up and it will be decided at 14.59. This could run until Cup Final day. Edited December 29, 2008 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Football League were responsible for the deductions you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
