Re:

It's obviously a fairly useless system the conference use, as clubs keep getting caught by it and yet this type of offence practically never happens in the league. Unless we're led to believe that the club administrators in the conference are inherently worse than those in the league. I'd have thou...

Re:

One mistake versus thousands of good decisions and actions. Thousands? Go on, list a few hundred for us then. I really hate this &quotMick's been a good old Oxford boy for years&quot attitude. I've never thought he was anything special and he seems to be immune from criticism despite not ob...

Incidentally, I think the same principle would apply in many situations. You've basically got to ensure that what you send to an organisation has been received and acknowledged and if you don't, when it comes to trouble later you won't have a leg to stand on.

I'm always suspicious of the term &quotuntil common sense prevails&quot, it too often tends to mean &quotwe want there to be rules, but in our particular case we would like them not to be applied&quot. I think there's a problem in these situations because player registrations are ver...

Now what exactly did he say? Because if I understood the Mail story I read online today, it was supposedly posted, not faxed. Or do they fax just before the deadline, then post a copy?

Re:

I think I'd like to see a full explanation as to what happened, and an explanation of the five-point penalty. (And I'd like to see Mick Brown's resignation, of course.) Why do you want to punish somebody before you've found out what happened and whether (or how much) they are to blame? Surely the l...

Re:

Another thing bugging me....this business about &quothaving known since November&quot. Does it normally take two months for this sort of thing to arrive at a hearing? If not, why in this instance? Quite - to which I would add, why did it take until November to come to light? Mansfield had f...
