Well I think so (but then I would) - but if you believe them that it was an admin error (they had done all the usual paperwork but didn't know that as he joined us from Cardiff City he needed an international transfer certificate as well) then yes suddenly 18 points, over £12000 in fines (including the money from the FA Trophy that we got kicked out of as well) does seem a little steep for a small club to handle.

There's Inter Milan trying to fix the entire league and getting a suspended sentence and 3 hours community service and we get whacked halfway down the league. Turns out it only came to light cos he got booked otherwise he could have carried on playing for ages. They took the points from the 11 games he'd already played for us. Way harsh - why aren't they taking any blame? They must have seen his name on all the team sheets up til then, not as though we were playing him as "Paul Curtis" or something.

The worst thing is it stinks of the FA taking their chance to have a slap back after all the PR that AFC Wimbledon have got with everyone agreeing that the FA totally fucked up the whole Milton Keynes move.

The local MP has got involved now by approaching the Sports Minister to ask them to stick their nose in and tell the FA to stop being such a bunch of old c*nts. Somehow I feel that Jim Woild must be involved in this somewhere...
