I'm with kipax on this one.

I hope the FA do the right thing and reduce alty's points reduction so that they stay in the conference. However I disagree with alty that every man and his flat cap, wippet and anything else he can lay his hands on are apparently to blame in this, but it has nothing at all to do with alty!!! The form states 'has the player played abroad?' not was it his last club but has he ever played abroad. Simple enough. The fact that he had a trial with us is a mute point as he never signed a contract or registration form.

I do not wish what alty are going through on anyone, and I think the original points deduction was a joke, I understand how that total of points comes about, but its a ridiculously high amount for a relatively minor offence. Alty have done really well this season to finish where they did, and they deserve to stay up on that basis, not be relegated on a technicality.
