What a load of ..... we didnt have any legs to stand on though, club should have known about the ban and even if not putterill should have said something..

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Tranmere are a poor side aswell, awful against us and what a boring atmosphere!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Tin pot cup anyway, we'll concentrate on the league now, with a view of champions league in about 5 or 6 years. :)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Why plead not guilty then ? :confused:

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Disappointing but inevitable im afraid.

Hopefully the club and Ray have learned a BIG lesson.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

It's to be hoped so. The FA won't be pleased they have had to spend some time gathering evidence to find out somebody didn't tell the truth :eek:

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

The mind really does boggle, what a total carve up, things like this shouldn't happen at a professional football club, but its not the first time its happened at Stanley is it, but will it be the last, I'm not holding my breathe:eek::(

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

But the problem is that Ray was unaware (the Liverpool FA secretary had not informed him - nor had the club he was playing for) so it is not technically Rays fault.
The club on the other hand cannot be held to blame for something they were unaware of, i.e. Ray being signed from Liverpool - not a local side in the Liverpool FA.
Apparently (according to Radio Lancs and Rob Heys in interview, the FA and FL both have some sympathy with the club, but the only penalty can now be financial).

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Why is there a hearing into Rays case next week??????

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Exactly what I'm wondering. We're out of the JPT and Ray's served his ban. Surely no further punishment is necessary?

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

How can Ray not be aware. He was shown a red card and that means a ban. Simple as.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

That part of the issue has already been discussed. It's time to move on and avoid castigating our own IMO.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Just a little frustrated as I do feel we could have done something in this cup. Not to be though so roll on saturday.

"Accrington Stanley have resigned from..." those very words send a chill through Stanley supporters of a certain age! :eek:
