THE BIG question now has to be....

[Sotonsuperhoop]

The word 'Swindon' has been mentioned.

Long time ago though. Rules change.







Oh and BrightonR - I intend to, yes.

Think we'll get 3 point deduction and fine confirmed Mon so still champions!

Will you be in The Green after the match? Cracking atmosphere after Hull game

[bhujio]

Surely the season aint over untill the playoffs have finished meaning they can still deduct points?

Season is over after the last league game, as after the playoffs how would they determine our fate say if they dock enough points to put us in the playoffs and the playoffs are done.

QPR seem certain to avoid a points deduction this season after the bungling FA admitted they won’t reach a verdict on the Alejandro Faurlin case until after the end of the campaign.
A statement from the FA yesterday afternoon said: “It was originally indicated that the decision on any sanction, if appropriate, would be announced by 4pm on Friday, May 6 if possible. This will not now happen. A decision will be made and announced as soon as possible thereafter.”
The Football League rule book states that the season ends “immediately after the completion of the club’s final fixture”.
Decisions can be imposed “immediately or may be deferred” – there is no scope for retrospective punishment against Neil Warnock’s team.
As a result, the Daily Express understands that when the full-time whistle blows at Loftus Road after their game against Leeds tomorrow, the Football League intends to wash their hands of the affair and pass the problem on to the Premier League.

look at the definition of season

[WeAreQPR12]

Great find essex and superb news thats made me happy reading that

[Goddard]

FL:

'Season' means the period of the year commencing on the date of the first League Match and, for each Club, ending immediately after the completion of the Club's final fixture of the League Competition or, if the Club is participating in the Play-Offs, the final Play-Off match for that Club.

[vblockranger]

so if we get no statement before the final whistle tomorrow we can go mental ;-)

[essex]

i think i am reading that correctly, where is the leveller when you need him

[Goddard]

Well to be fair, that is a Football League Rule. Set in stone, set in print.

But it's not the FL who are trying to nail us. And The FA are "higher" than them.

Still not 100% sure if that matters though.
Messy.

Not in Essex.

I am here and just did and how many times do I have to answer the same point.

Ask me another question go on. How about the legal team’s argument and what havoc that has? I have been laughing all day.

[essex]

What is the legal teams arguement?

[The Leveller]

What is the legal teams arguement?

I will be back in tick, I need to get something I posted earlier saves some typing

[stainrodisalegend]

... once the final whistle blows tomorrow, can we be docked points from this season??

Rules are rules.
And if it is a rule, it must be written somewhere?

Because that will be the question asked tomorrow in the pubs, at the game, and after the game... more than any other question.





F*cked if I know the answer, though.

Pithily summarised as ever, Gods. My own conclusions to this question are
