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.

I agree with you on and Kipax on this Sparkie - that original penalty was a joke and out of all proportion to the gravity of the offence IMHO.
Altrincham are not one of my favourite clubs, but they did not deserve to be treated so harshly. I know Dan says that rules are rules, but on this one, I think it is a case, not of the rule being wrong, but the penalty applied to it being wrong.
None of us should give Dan a hard time about this (and you did not Sparkie) - opinion is one of the things that makes the world go round
