Raptors points deducted?

[Cunning Stunt]

Whether it's intentional or not if at the end of the day you've played with an ineligible play you should forfeit the match. Then again the SAASL let Salisbury Villa get away with it last season yet penalized Croatia :?

[Željko Jurin]

Pretty sure Croatia lost points for the same thing last year, if so there'd have to be the same outcome surely

That is correct, I'm sure Zeljko could clarify the crime and it's punishment

Croatia got 3 points deducted, hence relegated

[Popov vromgolarov]

Personally I dont think Raptors would do this type of thing intentionally!! Over the years have been pretty honest and genuine Club and good bunch of lads !!

surely not gully boyz.
if you believe everything you hear/read we change our team sheets three times over before giving them to the ref, recruit ex afl players to kinghit the opposition, and conduct training sessions at the aquatic centre of the 10m platform.
not to mention put the nets up at our opponent grounds before games

thanks anyway GB

[finderskeeper]

i dont see raptors players posting on here how we hard done by everytime we lose (which has been quite often ), shifting the topic onto opposition players and the way they play or speculating what may have happened years ago.
now get over it and move on.

You seem to find responding to criticism hard to resist.
As for shifting the topic, I think you are pretty good at that.

no we don't actually.
it's pretty clear that you and a couple of your club mates can't handle losing.

If you actually used you useless brain Popov and read his comment you would once again see that the knights did not start this topic. We lost the last game and thats all there is to it. If the league are taking it futher that is not the knights fault or anyone from the knights on this forum.

[On Holiday]

As a Raptors player and captain I am dissapointed that our club has been associated with such a topic. During all my years at the club, I know that neither the coach, committe or the players would have knowingly played a suspended player. It is not uncommon for letters or faxes to not reach their destination, I experience this in my line of work all the time, technology can fail and Australia Post is a pain in the ass.
From what I can remember the alleged suspended player was brought on as a substitute when we were already 2-0 up late in the 2nd half, dont you think we would have played him from the beginning if we were going to take such a risk and why would the club use his real name.....it just doesnt make sense!

i was actually just responding to his 'knives coming out' comment i am aware that nobody from the knights started this thread, i believe knight7 even said when the topic was first raised that he or the club would not pursue the matter and believe you havent.

i just think its a bit rich for him to point at one of our players calling matt fat yet he can 'tee off' at leftwing on numerous occasions.

You would have known from your Clubs own game report the player in question was not well !
Lucky you could call on a wealth of Reserve players to cover for him
I think the SAASL should be more concerned about home referees not recording Reserve game send offs.
Don't visiting teams need to sign off the team sheets and scores etc at the completion of the game.
Don't they get a copy.
Australian Post aren't a pain in the ass when bills are due

[knight25]

Just have to wait and see!

[Sportsfan]

It's agreed then... in future, all teams can claim that they didn't receive a letter, blame Australia Post and then choose which game to not use the suspended player.... if it's noticed! A player/club should know if he/a player is on the brink of suspension, and I know at least one club in the 2nd division that checks with the league in these circumstances before picking their players for weekend matches. I also believe that's what the Knights did with their player... an efficient secretary doing his job.... we'll see if the league does theirs!

[De Voyeur]

It would be nice to know a decision either way. It is terrible that the SAASL take so long to Make up their minds. The same thing is happening to Croatia and Macos.

Pull your finger out SAASL, grow some balls and come up with a verdict you soft cock.s!

When did I ever "tee off" at Leftwing?

[Cunning Stunt]

You probably asked him to get off the ground and it was interpreted as such.

TELL IT TO THE JUDGE!

[Cunning Stunt]

It still is the use of an ineligible player.

[MATTY6]

Knights have heard it from a pretty reliable sorce, that Raptors will indeed loose the points for this game.
How unfortunate that a administration error could possibly see Raptors relegated this year.
It just wont be the same without Raptors.

with there poor goal difference, that would put them in deep trouble! if they dont beat san marco on the week end its nearly bye bye. very interesting.

[MONTGOMERY SPLIFT]

Agreed.

DISAGREE, you have two players sent off the week before how can you not know that they are suspended ???

[ozriel]

our club doesnt usually do card checks as we believe you try and beat what ever team is out there but when we played rapters in a reserve cup round in 07 our coach did a card check and we observed a few rapters players leave their changerooms with their bags on shoulders. now i am not saying they were trying to cheat they may have been exchanging gifts or something but we thought it was funny especially when we beat them

[knight25]

As being a player myself i actually was suspended for the same game. I had 4 yellow cards and did not play for this game serving my time. Our club received the letter fine and our club also opened the letter and in result i did not play. It may have been a genuine mistake from raptors that they for some reason did not receive or open their letter but at the end of all this the club should know how many yellows each player is on and know if they get a red they miss atleast 1 game.
Other clubs have been punished for this and ithe points should be paid to the knights.

[Kosta Utd]

i am 100% sure the coach and team manager would NOT knowningly play suspended or unregistered players....end of story!!!!!!!!

lol, like i'm 100% sure you wouldn't claim a goal that went through the side netting or condone a player who dives from start to finish!

I believe the facts are, 1 player from Raptors was suspended due to 4 yellows, 1 player from Knights was suspended for the same reason. Both teams were sent letters, Knights didn't play their player, Raptors played theirs.

Raptors claim they didn't know, didn't receive the letter

Last week I was done for driving 57km in a 50km zone, I claimed I never knew - thought it was a 60km zone sadly still got done

So if SAASL is credible then there should only be one result

Sorry if the above isn't Poltically correct but seemingly that's ok Mega?

at least they didnt say the bag with the rego cards got 'stolen'

doesnt seem like much has changed out at raptor land

'they stole our cards'

[MegaBonus]

mate...im not taking any credit......

however

you can take all the credit for demoralising a club and overseeing its downfall.... now what was (who was) the reason why so many of your players left????....

do us all a favour.....keep your mouth on your side of town!!!!!

BTW - are you currently in charge of port power?????

Why is this "reliable source" speaking with Knights officials and not Raptors???
Why hasn't any of this been communiated to the Raptors officials?
It seems that Knights officials are the ones driving the issue for the points deduction... Do I sense some sour grapes???

[MONTGOMERY SPLIFT]

from what i understand raptors played two lads who were sent off playing reserves the week before against TTG, BUT....if the ref didnt report this to the league then where is the proof that they were in fact the same players, or even that they got sent off. i suspect there would be a very low percentage of reserves refs who report bookings and send off's especially for home team players, therefore IMO craptors have no case to answer. morally yes but not with the league. poor form by craptors, but surely not the first and certainly not the last club to do this.
