One rule for Wet Sham and another rule for Mansfield Town...

[Thaumagurist*]

I see that Mansfield Town have been deducted 4 points for fielding an ineligible player. Seems to me that it's ridiculous that Mansfield gets copped this penalty, whilst a team like Wet Sham can get away with it by paying a fine and stay up as a result.

[Alan Partridge]

Well they could have fined Mansfield £5million and bust the club.

Thanks for that, T.R.O.L.I

Who are Wet Sham?

[Thaumagurist*]

A corrupted form of a once great club.

Only thing sadder than 'Wet Sham' is 'Tony Bliar'

[Row Z Royal]

While the Sham reference is, perhaps, a little outdated (a belief I don't subscribe to) it can't be denied that it does look like different punishments being applied.

Saying that, the PL & FL always dish out different punishments for similar crimes.

[Stranded]

Of course the fact that very different rules have been broken should just be ignored here...

Mansfield played a player still registered with another club and lost the points gained as a result.

Tevez was not registered to another club so it is a different kettle of fish.

Indeed, but they both were still ineligible to play for their new clubs.

True, but neither of them have anything to do with Mansfield Town.

Not true. Tevez was not inelligible to play. The issue was to do with breach of regulations over declaring ownership of the player. The fact Sheffield United have had their case upheld on appeal is an absolute disgrace.

West Ham have broken Premier League rules by allowing an unregistered doctor to treat their players. (The Sun)

That's an interesting one, I assume that the Premier League has this rule to ensure that the registered doctor can be trusted not to give any players any performance enhancing drugs. So when Wet Sham breaks this rule, can we assume that the unregistered doctor is giving illegal drugs to treat a player?

No. It's probably nothing whatsoever to do with drugs.

Sounds to me like people in the media have decided to find any stick to beat West Ham with that they can.
