[derrywan]

palace deducted one point after fielding an ineligible player against us on may 3rd. did neil do it deliberately? are they testing us to see if we'll sue again? did fat sam plan this all along to get more gravy soaked copy? ...

I was about to post this

They should have awarded us 10 points which would have saved all this Playoff shenanigans

 

[rachyblade]

Well surely we should of been given the 3 points

One player, one match, one point!

Interesting stuff.

He actually only came on in the 55th minute too.

So 1 point per 35 minutes on the pitch

You couldn't make it up!!!

i might be wrong like i usually am but however trivial this sounds....surely if palace have been deducted 1 point and given none from the game..we should be given 3 from the game....i know this doesn't put us up but it would have given us an additional £500,000 for accumulating over 80 points in a season (82 instead of 80) so maybe the FA really are conspiring against us.

Palace deducted a whole point!

and for those who cant click

Crystal Palace have been deducted one point by the Football League for fielding an ineligible player in their clash with Sheffield United on 3 May.
The Eagles introduced Rui Fonte as a 55th minute substitute despite his loan deal from Arsenal having expired.
The League's independent Football Disciplinary Commission also fined the club £20,000, of which £15,000 is suspended for one full season.
It means Palace finish on 56 points but remain 15th in the Championship.

Since it makes no difference to the standings of last season why not deduct it from next season.

Would of been interesting had us birmingham and reading finished on the same amount of points.

Very good point Dan, and I think it would have been appropriate to take this course of action.
