So has any club laid a complaint or is it just one of those things where people gossip and everyone just carrys on?
I heard there was. Do people think the 'three day rule' should apply to this reg breach?
No.
For such an obvious & blatant breaching of a simple rule (If that is the case) then I don't think it "fair" on any the other teams not at the "offending" game who wouldn't directly witness the rule breach to firstly have to heard about it & then sent in official complaint within 3 days. It shouldn't be possible for a team to "get away with it" just because the Fever rumour mill is slow on the uptake ;-)
It seems a simple rule to follow & with Comet etc player games are easily tracked, (aren't they?). No time limit for enforcement gets my vote!
Edit; Just thought about this again..
Do all teams admin have the ability to see all other teams starting lineups, player stats, number of games played, teams played for in Comet etc at all times ? . If so that may change my thinking
Also, rather than it being upto clubs to protest rule breaches, maybe Capital Football should have some responsibility to check certain details & ensure rules are being followed & enforce sanctions without needing a club to protest first?
