Pontypridd..threat of 141 point deduction

Featured Replies

When does deducting points lose its significance? Surely, if they’re penalised by 141 points, their season is effectively finished. It seems futile to let them carry on if it’s going to have a harmful effect on the club in the long run.

What if we barred the individuals who broke the rules from football and imposed hefty fines on them as a more effective deterrent? The fines could be reinvested into grassroots football in Wales. As for a 141-point deduction, have the decision-makers lost their minds? A referee gets punched in Turkey and their league is suspended, yet a small club violates numerous rules and it’s their supporters who bear the brunt.

**** **.

That article is full of broken rules, which really shows how unaware of football the people in charge are. I do get the feeling that some aren't made to cheat but by neglectful knowledge. The punishment is weird, that amount of potential points must be a record in football. What does it achieve?

There has to be better ways to punish the people responsible and if I am right about it being a mistake with some, it should be softer.

You can tell when something is done on purpose or is likely to have been done to gain, whereas I can see why people without knowledge of football rules may make continous mistakes.

At some stage points penalties just become arbitrary. Why can't they just relegate them, give them another suspended penalty in case of further breaches and ban the responsible individuals from running a football club?
