The Casual Connoisseur Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 The South Wales Echo has a story on Cardiff City's new Nigerian trialist.Apparently they broke a few FA & FAW rules by fielding a Nigerian Player who was not actually registered, action will follow.I am sure the FA and Cardiff will come to some agreement which instead of punishing them will actually benefit them, maybe they will pay his wages & signing on fee!

Simple as that.By "FA" you mean "Welsh FA" of course.Woe betide they be governed by the FA of the country whose league they play in.That would leave them exposed to the same punishments as everyone else and that just wouldn't be fair.

Northern Red Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 points deduction maybe?←Won't happen for a friendly. If it happened in the league then that would be the least they would expect. As usual though, the Welsh FA will do sod-all. Surely the rules must be changed so that a club is governed by the ruling body of the country of the league it actually plays in.

Taz Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Cardiff are the Welsh FA's only hope of ever winning anything (or come close to doing so). So why would they want to punish them!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sprout1883 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I've been saying for years that Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Merthyr and Colwyn Bay should be playing in their own Country's league. It makes no sense at all to have them in the English pyramid system. Not so long ago, we had the farce of them playing in the English and Welsh FA cups and being almost guaranteed a place in the Euro cup winners competition through winning their cup. Europe finally woke up and put a stop to that - they now cannot play in their own country's cup competition. But that was the wrong action - they should have insisted on them being in the Welsh league, which can only strengthen their own domestic league. Madness.←the thing is Cardiff and swansea couldn't survive in the welsh league. The non-league teams probably could, and if Cardiff and swansea were in the welsh league it would be a rangers and celtic type thuing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_real_city Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Cardiff and Swansea are two teams with more history than you. We've been in the English league for over a century so get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
