To punish Sheff Wed properly or will they buckle and just impose a paltry fine. I mean whats a £2000 fine(Leeds punishment) to a football club. I am not being biased(maybe a little perhaps) but the correct outcome would be the 3 points going to us and them being docked the 1 point and the 1 goal being removed. Their argument that 2 didnt take part just doesnt cut the mustard with me as if you think about it they were there and could have been used. We omitted 2 of our loan players who would more than likely have been used if on the bench but we followed the law and they didnt. If only a small fine is administered then what stops other clubs doing the same and just paying the relevant fines which would be worth it when you consider what promotion and relegation is worth to clubs.

Just Whenever did the FA ever indicate they had any bollocks ?
witness the leicester city shambles of a few years ago and, west ham fiasco last season (which continues even now)
dont hold your breath for them ruling for anything remotely favouring stoke city either !

The only balls that the Football League will have is to deduct Wednesday 3 points "and that's only because they have a game in hand on a few of the teams down the bottom" along with a fine of around £25,000.
Because there is nothing set in stone in relation to what should happen then it's going to be difficult in giving Stoke the 3 points because of all the shit that would hit the fan from Chairmen/owners from Football Clubs that are challenging for a cut of the big bucks on offer in getting to that supposed promised land.
In effect Wednesday should have their goal disallowed and Stoke awarded 3 points but rightly or wrongly this will not happen because the Football League have not got the fuckin balls.

Im not holding out for much off them but feel that they could be opening up a can of worms for themselves if punishment is only a fine. And thinking about if they only take away there point then really Stoke are being punished as what have we gained by them cheating.

They should have either points deducted, or we are rewarded 2 points, but i think we all know what the FA are like, and it seems highly unlikely |

It's not the FA in this case, its the Football League and they have no balls at all

If it was Bury or Rohdale etc etc then the FULL FORCE of the FA would come down on em???
Sheff Wed like Leeds?? Nah just a slap?
They will wait for a minnow to slip up and then wield the axe

The only balls the FA have got are the ones that are heavier than the others when Man Yoo get drawn at home in the cup all the time, and the ones they weigh for separating the Arsenals, Chelseas etc when they reach semi finals.
On a serious note, if we did get any sort of points award after Sats fiasco, then you would have appeals from Twatford, Brizzle and W Brazil A coming in thick and fast, so where does it end

I dont suppose we would be moaning if Cresswell had put the game beyond doubt.

they wont have the bollocks to give us points it will just be a simple fine, which wednesday will pay off with ease. If we were given the points the would be a huge uproar from the other teams around us so the fa will just take the easy option and give wednesday a fine just a slap on the wrists if you like.
