Question Bury v Southend : Last Season

[AndyT]

Probably just me, but I never realized until the other night that our game at Bury last season resulted in them being deducted 3 points for fielding an ineligible player and we jumped above them in the league to finish 14th.

Question is, why didn't we get the three points!?

Cos "no-one likes us and we don't care".................d'oh, wrong website :winking:

Trevor Kettle certainly didn't, that day!

Ah but he made up for it Tuesday at Bradford :smile:

Because Bury were penalised 3 points for the offence of playing an unregistered player . The points are taken off their total

They did not forfeit the game, nor was the result changed.

 

[AndyT]

Yep, fair point, but say we needed a point to get promoted and they effectively cheated by breaking the rules.

We would have a case to have the result changed or the match replayed, wouldn't we?

I got them in the post in July. Thought I'd hang onto them, just in case.

We could play them as a joker, so say we lose 6-0 somewhere, we can play it and claim the 3 points! :cool:
