Call for United Forces of EL (UFEL)

[Colie]

Am I the only one in thinking that if a club (i.e. Bohs) are docked 3 points for effectively cheating, that said 3 points should go to the team they beat on the night? In this case I know there was a case on whether or not Bohs should have been docked the 3 points at all, but when they finally were, does it not make sense to at least have a replay? Don't get wrong, I'm all for this anti-EL group, but in this case I think a replay is the least the Eircom League could award a club that they have found to have been wronged in a match.

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So the rules are superseded by the speculation of what may or may not have happened?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.

[Student Mullet]

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.

[EnDai]

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

Still a ****ing stupid decision.
