AFC Wimbledon
« on: January 25, 2007, 05:44:15 PM »

It appears that in addition to being thrown out of the Trophy for playing an ineligible player (international clearance not received) that they may be docked the points they have earnt in the league whilst said player has turned out ("following the example set last season by Altrincham").  This could lead to a 19 point deduction.

Now if 18 points was wrong for us, then it's also wrong for AFC Wimbledon?

This also means that, if they do dock all those points, the FA have not learnt from the Alty situation. All those who said the rules regarding this needed changing...........and nowt happens.

Anyone surprised???

The "international" player had played for a Welsh team in the same league as AFC Dons

Had the Welsh team got clearance for him, or do they need international clearance to transfer from Wales to England - even if in the same league.

If that is the case - football is in trouble!

NO ITS NOT.

We got docked the points and until the rules change everyone else should also (and I would be very annoyed if they didn't).
Sorry but  thats the way it is. The rules SHOULD have been changed but were not so the FA have made a rod for their own back.

Rules are rules afterall as we were told and I'm afraid we were punished so everyone else must be until the silly rule is revised.

So if they have played an eligible player that had not been granted international clearance then the punishment should be the same as ours

Totally agree. Even crap rules have to be evenly enforced. Wouldn't it have to be changed at FIFA level though before the FA could do anything?

The player concerned was a retired player of a Welsh team (he is English) and joined AFC Dons to train and then played for them.  Clerical error, no international clearance for an English player who transferred from a Welsh Club playing in an English league (Rymans, smae as AFC Wimbledon)

Been on the AFCW forum, the player Jermaine Darlington, had been at Cardiff City, who play in the English league! FFS, this stupid rule must be changed or at least made very difficult to break. I thought that on the back of our misfortune they were changing the player registration forms to ask if a player had "ever" played abroad?

Still can't consider wales as abroad though surely?

Thing is under EEC law anybody from a member state is legally entitled to work in another member state. By my reckoning then there could not be a situation where clearance could be refused, so why ask for it ? Only reason I can think of is if there is a current ban from another federation?

That's one rule the FA need to look at straight away. Its just a pity - if predictable - that they did not do this when they had the chance.

Is Noel White still high up at the FA?
Does he have any contacts still at Alty?

Actually Cardiff are under the auspices of the Welsh FA yet play in the English league system, and this is essentially the problem.

If a player from a Welsh club appeals against a sending off for example the appeal will be handled by the Welsh FA rather than the English, in fact the Welsh FA have been known to be rather lenient with regard to punishing players playing for Welsh clubs in the English league system.

Wales and England amalgamation! They'd need to segregate the "home" fans!

Seriously there should at least be a crossover on paperwork between Home Nations federations.
