Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Blackpool did similar earlier in the season and got a fine so I expect that's what'll happen Probably because Blackpool didn't have any to spare at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeyed Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The West Ham situation was different as they didn't break any FA rules. I suspect the 3 points will be deducted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The FL are damned if they do damned if they don't, really. Punishment over these types of offences haven't been consistently meted out, so whatever the decision is it is likely to leave somebody feeling almightily aggrieved. At the risk of being accused of having the red blinkers on, is there any reason why Rotherham should be docked points when W Ham were not thrown out of the FAC, or at the very least ordered to replay against us? Re The Blackpool point, mitigating circumstances there? I assume the reason they weren't docked the 3 points is because they lost the game in question? So there was no unfair advantage to chalk off? Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That overweight unfit manager of theirs will have a heart attack .... If skeletor was still running Milwall into the ground I'd struggle to know who I'd want to get relegated and get run over by the team bus more. However with that clown relieved of his duties I'd love to see the millers get relegated. That said, it will need to be a bloody big bus to run that fat shit over.

Guest Malaggro is back Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I hope Millwall stay up. Always enjoy a trip to the smoke and the shadier parts of South East London. Always enjoy the visit of Millwall. There is generally something in the air (often a seat) when those scamps come calling. An atmosphere is guaranteed.

Guest Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Seems to have been very poorly handled in my opinion. Club has until 1st May to appeal (presumably heard at a later date) and final fixtures to be played on 2 May. I'm sure Rotherham will be able to put together a decent basis for appeal against the three points which would not be vexacios; questionning the reasonableness of the deduction perhaps, and leave the relegation spots in limbo. If they stay up in spite of the deduction just withdraw that after the final whistle. Who knows - perhaps a few back handers have been passed around resulting in giving the league licence to determine relegation after the event... - I am jesting, this isn't FIFA.

Forest Green and AFC Wimbledon have both had points deducted for the same offence, MK Dons had to replay a cup tie for the same offence so I doubt they will be able to change their mind on appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
