cheshire_red Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Disgraceful behaviour sees Doncaster Belles relegated, not because they finished in the relegation places, not because they went into administration, not for any gfood reason other than the FA decided to replace them with Manchester City. http://popularstand.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/the-belles-toll-on-the-fas-relegation-of-the-doncaster-belles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789000 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Unbelievable. I can't believe that this hasn't been picked up by other news sites. Nothing on the BBC about it and I wouldn't have known had you not posted that link. Out of all the FA's decisions, just how is this justifiable? On another note, why are our women's team doing so much better than our current slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Queen Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 This is disgusting but pretty much sums the FA up.

David Brent Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Womens football has, it appears, come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. This ridiculous FA decision completely undermines it. The game has been destroyed by money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 just had to read up on these to make sure people were not jumping the gun, but this is abuslutly stupid and makes this season meaningless, How the **** can you relegate a team after one game has been played, I'd like to see the male pro's support Donnies re-instatment to the WSL, If they want manchester in it so much expand the league to 9 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthingexile Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Totally stunned! Pinching myself, thinking there MUST be more to this! Not a follower of women's football, but, like most, an advocate of justice. How dare they! How very dare they do this! The thin end of the wedge! All smaller/unfashionable teams should beware!

Bob Taylor's Knob Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 When I read the title of this thread I thought the OP meant in the biblical sense. In such circumstances I probably wouldn't blame the FA, though I would need to see some pictures to be sure. Does anyone have any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Let's hope our joyless mods don't have a 'turn out' about 'belles being shafted', I suppose they might say 'I should be so locky'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
