The "rule" is if they have played one game they are classed as first team, I guess we could and should argue Covid ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 If ever there was a case of unintended consequences from complying with a rule then surely this is one.

Precisely why there should be consultation about football regulations and a single coherent body. The frictional rule boundaries are often where the nonsense occurs.

He's signed for us because it's better than playing in League One. I'm giving myself plenty of scope to be pleasantly surprised if he turns out to be anything other than gash!

A decent career too: "Fellow central defender Stearman, 33, has almost 450 career appearances to his name after representing Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Ipswich Town, Fulham, Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town to date. He was also part of the Sheffield United side that was promoted to the Premier League in 2018/19 and represented England at various youth international levels."

Ramarena Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I don’t think he’s as bad as is being made out. He’s got a lot of experience in the Champ and even Prem. We’re looking to avoid finishing in the bottom three so he should be good enough for us as rotation/cover. The only concern would be how much he’s deteriorated with age.

I always though he was pretty impressive at Wolves. I know he's on the way down career wise, but I'm puzzled by the almost blanket negative reaction from our fans.

The frictional rule boundaries are often where the nonsense occurs. The FA required Derby to play the game, the EFL if compliant with this demand/request (knowingly or otherwise) managed to penalise Derby in another way, even whilst the torturous disciplinary proceedings & appeals progressed. The hypocrisy is glaring, when the FA, media et al, rock out and criticise clubs for playing under-strength squads in what is supposed to by the 'flagship' Cup competition, and devaluing the competition - then the FA 'normalises' a youth-team selection when it suits them. Using it later against DCFC re: the quotient of players of 'professional standing' within the club, to effect another transfer sanction is the last straw. As the FA & EFL endorse making a club play a weak team when it suits (for broadcast scheduling reasons, minnow 'giant-killer' appeal, whatever) and devalue their primary Cup competition, I expect to boycott the FA Cup this season.
