Match Report

Neill Warnock’s Palace Deducted A Point For Cheating

This I just had to mention.

The BBC are reporting that Neill Warnock’s Crystal Palace side have been deducted a point and fined £35,000 (£20,000 up front) for…wait for it…fielding an ineligible player against…wait for it….Sheffield United.

Ha.

The player in question was Rui Fonte who Warnock played, despite his loan deal from Arsenal having already expired.

Really lovely stuff.

  2. Warnock gets caught cheating, again. And Sheff utd loose in the play offs. As a west ham fan i find this ironic.The 60 million pound final was the best bit, they dont need the money after all their sueing. did the palace sheff utd game alter the final standings in promotion? if so McCabe will have the lawyers out, to quote the northern greedy bastard himself “where there’s blame there’s a claim” .

  3. This should have happened to West Ham in the premiership when they had Tevez and as a result they should be in the championship or lower where they belong.

    • lol, a one point deduction yeah!!? did you not notice the table? we finished 15th mate, therefore a 1 point deduction would have made no difference what-so-ever. Further more id take the 35K fine as we got fined 5.5 mil, are u mentally retarded?? Of cource you are, i mean your a SU fan after all!! lol, no idea of football what-so-ever!!!

  4. Wow. This guy really is a pillock. I’m starting to think there’s something actually wrong with him.

  5. Rui Fonte is an anagram of One Fruit. Maybe they should have deducted an apple, because it makes absolutely no difference to anybody!

  6. Sing in an Alanis Morissette styleee

    It’s like McCabes whining before a Morgan elbow
    It’s an ineligible player when he’s finished his loan
    It’s the hypocrytic manager who we hate that we know
    Who would’ve thought ….It figures
    Well isn’t it Neil Warnock ….don’t you think
    A little too Neil Warnock….and yeah, i really do think

  7. They should give the point and fine back to Palace – and boil Warnocks nuts instead. Horrible two faced man with a big mouth.

  8. all people related to sheffield united are a joke. You went down because your simply not good enough we even give you an out of court settlement then your players sue us. You’re possibly the laughing stock of the FA. I hope u get us in the Cup next season and im sure we will not only beat you on the pitch, Tevez scored a few goals for us yes but he was not the reason why we stayed up lets not forget he didn’t play for half a season. Maybe we should of been deducted a POINT and we would of stayed up never mind we stayed up and even if we went down im sure we would of came straight back up possibly won the league and no one would of complained about it. You got relegated and your going to rot in the championship maybe one day you will come back up for us to send you back down.
    ..
    Quick bit of transfer news .. heard we are signing Tevez on a third party ownership deal as Kia Joorabcian is our transfer director but dont tell anyone..

  9. Irony is just a heavy metal to the sad, humourless northern bastards. I said at the time – what goes around comes around. There will be more to come.

  10. Really?

    A 1 point deduction and £35k fine would not have relegated West Ham that season.

    You haven’t got the first clue have you?… you’re just a sad, bitter little man….
