Totally agree here.

The Bohs broke the rules & got docked points. It happens to teams all the time.

The issue against Shels is different. Hypothetically they could have lost the game due to the suspended player & therefore a replay is the only option.

If Bohs had lost the game, been docked 3 points for breaking the rules, & were challenging for the league, would they demand a replay (if it was an option, as it clearly will be going forward) on the basis that they fielded a suspended player? Bloody right they would.

I'm UCD not Shels before anyone starts throwing accusations.

So the rules are superseded by the speculation of what may or may not have happened? Glad that's cleared up.

The problem Colie is that that's not what the rule is. You think it should be the rule and that's a fair opinion but the FAI should apply the rule as it is.

The rule also gives grounds for appeal, and action at the discretion of the comitee/board/barnyard.

Still a ****ing stupid decision.
