Forest Green
« on: December 02, 2023, 08:31:56 AM »

I see their FA Cup game has been postponed due to an FA investigation.
It seems they signed their goalie on an 'emergency loan' from The Gas in September and he's been playing ever since.
If there has been a breach of the rules, the EFL may sanction them too mightn't they?
How karma would it be if they were deducted all points gained from games he played in (as in the James Robinson episode) and were left miles adrift heading for almost certain relegation to the NL?

PS. Hope this doesn't seem too spiteful?

PPS. Knowing them, I'm sure they'll get away with it.

Shame that snake Peake doesn't have anything to do with them anymore to feel their suffering.

Fortunately FGR are rubbish - I make it 8 points they've accumulated with him between the sticks. Although that in itself would leave them a fair bit  adrift.

Will be interesting to see if Blackpool are awarded a bye or if Scarborough are reinstated to play them like Horsham were.

Scabby would be reinstated I suspect.

I think Forest Green are currently poor enough to be relegated without any help from the powers that be. If they come down it would be a further piece of karma were we to pass them on our way up. Horrid little club.

Speaking of hobby clubs, I see Fylde have sold their star defender and captain to Solihull.

Has Haythornthwaite finally got bored and thrown in the towel?

Probably getting ready for a rebuild for next season?

I unfortunately can't link it, but if anyone can get hold of Rod  Liddle's piece in today's Sunday Times ("Punish Forest Green for vegan pies, not ineligible players") it's a really humourous piece from a man who shares our sentiments towards "the little club on the hill".

If they're making pies out of vegans they should be punished. No excuses for that. Shocking.🤔

Classic culture wars divisive bollocks that. I can't stand Rod Liddle.

And ironically they wouldn't be vegan.😁

Hmmm. Fgr get to replay v scabby.

I am confused by what seem to be very different penalties for the same offence.

Ah well,  time for a large rum.

Must say I expected, at least, the same punishment as Barnsley received.
Still, as long as they stay in the bottom two until the end of the season, it's fine by me.
