Thats good news. What round is next?

PMSL they are seething, from their forum...


Croydon Athletic 0 Welling Utd. 1 2009/02/19 22:41 Karma: -19
The word mugged comes to mind.We were the better team with a mixture of 1st team,reserves and unknowns.The best chances came from Reece Wilson who blasted over an open goal.Substitute Lyle Taylor hitting the post and the ball coming out.Goalkeeper Ross Flitney made some fantastic saves in the game.Near the end Fazackerley runs through our defence to slip the ball home.This was Tuesday all over again and I hate 0-1 HOME defeat scorelines.

line up, for what its worth:

Charlie Mitten
Junior Bilal (ht: Lee Protheroe)
Callum Starkey
Jamie Billings
Matthew McEntegart
Ryan Johnson
Louie Fazakerley
Rob Quinn
James Morgan
Richard Stevens (70 ish: Ayden Richards)
Ciaran Mulvihill (80 ish: Tom Cotterill)

not used:

Stephane Gnahore
Daniel Laryea

Attenfance: 60 ish

Goal scored in 1st of 4 minutes injury time in second half.  As their forum states, they hit the post midway through the second half and missed a very good chance about 5 minutes before the end.

After all the problems we have had recently, a special mention for the referee (Ian Bentley) who kept his cards in his pocket and merely warned the players - they apprecaited that.

Obviously you are not confused, Confused! That statement was very concise!

Looks true to me ....

Oh Dear!

Bromley got kicked out of the LSC for exactly this same offence a few years ago.

Precedent set i'd suggest.

From the London FA Competitions Rules (off their website)

QUALIFICATIONS OF PLAYERS 

5.(c) A player shall not in the same season play for more than one competing Club in any of the individual Cup competitions but the Members of each respective team may be changed during the series of matches. 

The only course open to the LFA in the circumstances. No statement on their site as yet to see if there is any action beyond disqualification from this year's competition.

The question 'How did it happen?' has to be asked.

For fook sake. I have been disappointed or frustrated at some things that have gone on this season but this one has actually made me angry. This is a classic schoolboy error. How was this moronic F-up made? Surely it must have clicked somewhere that Loui might have been cup tied, even if they were of the mindset that it's 'only the London Senior Cup'.

The club must have known about this soon after cos the fixture in the next round still says TBC on the website. I think the least the can do is post a statement on the website and apologise to the fans.

Are croydon retarded?

Croydon Athletic have been reinstated in the London Senior Cup because Welling United fielded an illegible player at the KT Stadium in the last round.
