Stanley Under Investigation - Page 6

Could it be something to do with Stuart Fleetwood's loan - did anyone check his passport before he came over the border from Wales? Don't mean to sound flip, I'm as worried and angry as anyone but as we're not gonna get to know anything till early April all this guesswork won't get us anywhere. It's the lads I feel sorry for, they're gonna be out there battling for every point they can get and could still have some taken off them for something that ain't their fault which is putting even more pressure on them. All we can do is get behind the lads on the pitch - and pray!

How many games did Shaun Whalley play in Dec before he 'signed' in Jan

You may be onto something there, but not Stuart Fleetwood. Joe Jacobson is registered with Cardiff City who are members of the Football Association of Wales, maybe Stanley needed International Clearance for him to play for an English team. I am sure we had to wait for Gary Roberts to get International Clearance when we signed him from Welshpool who are also members of the Football Association of Wales.

You're right Jeff, we did have to wait for clearance on Gary. I remember how funny it sounded at the time - if it turns out to be that it won't be so funny!

Says in todays Telegraph
"charged with fielding 2 ineligible players in 3 recent games"
McGrail played in 2 for us so that means the other player only played 1 game ( or 3 if he played in same ones as McGrail)
My guess is going on - David Martin, any more?

JEFF · 09-03-2007, 10:32

Incidentally Joe played in the 2-0 defeat at Grimsby, the 2-0 defeat at Doncaster, the 3-3 draw with Shrewsbury, the 4-3 defeat by MK Dons, the 3-3 draw at Macclesfield, the 4-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers and the 1-1 draw with Bury. We picked up three points in the games that he played for us. Chris McGrail played in the 3-2 win against Mansfield and the 1-1 draw at Wycombe that's four points gained. If it is Joe Jacobson and Chris McGrail then we could be looking at losing seven points

K.S.H · 09-03-2007, 10:41

I think we can rule Jacobson out can't we?, says on fishy site 3 games - he played in 7

Hi folks,

just registered to commiserate. As a Don's fan, I know what it's like to go through this situation. I hope you get treated more fairly than we did. Good luck for the rest of the season.

AccyMad · 09-03-2007, 10:45

If it's David Martin, surely they can't count that - the lad never even touched the ball before he was injured so we didn't gain any advantage from him taking to the field. I wish the club would tell us who the other player is so we would know what we might be up against, all this is so frustrating!

JEFF · 09-03-2007, 10:49

If it is David Martin then we could be looking at five points.

K.S.H · 09-03-2007, 10:54

Ashley Foyle, how many did he play for us, was it 1 or 2?

According to the Bull's messageboard he was a deliberate "plant" to knacker us!

Wouldn't surprise me - I bet they're loving it!!

What's with all the panic and acaremongering? !0points! 15points! 18points! etc. etc.
It clearly states on the fishy site that the charges relate to just 3 games. We know that two of those involve McGrail and could possibly cost us 4 points. THe third could, at worst, cost us an extra 3, and, at best, none. We all know that the fishy site is renowned for keeping us all informed with the true facts, so I reckon that makes it maximum 7 and could be less.
