Aston Villa Women 2023/24

[Dave P]

I put on the Chelsea match thread that we could expect to see KKH on Friday.  A 10 second google search told me he played for Plymouth in round 3 so he can't.  This is a proper admin error and we should accept any sanction we get.

Not a good precedent;

Maybe they could go!

From that:

"- Reading WFC be fined £50."

You get more than that if you're the Dog and Duck in a pub league!

If we broke the rules, then we have to face whatever punishment the laws state with a stiff upper lip...

[Witton Warrior]

Just such a dumb piece of administration - infuriating

[Holte132]

I agree that admin should have known she was ineligible thing, but surely the player herself would have known she'd played for another team earlier in the competition!

Giving too much credit to players?

[PeterWithesShin]

We deserve any punishment we get. 3 previous appearances including an Arsenal/Spurs derby a month ago, how both the club and player didn't know is just negligent.

The players just want to play.  There are plenty of staff around (or should be) to catch this kind of thing.  Not been a good season on the women's side of the house.

The buck for that would stop with the coach who signs the player and picks the team

Admin manager, not the coach.

Whoever is to blame Carla should still be very much aware.

Remember when West Ham did this against us in the Milk Cup

I can more or less guarantee that the coach/manager has no idea if the appropriate forms have been sign, sent and filed. They would just assume that all was well and everything was in place for the player to play, or was ineligible.

[PeterWithesShin]

The player should have known they were cup-tied, it's hardly a new rule. The manager and coaches should have known, or at the very least double-checked with a new signing. And those doing the admin should have known. Even another player should probably have checked, That no one did at a professional club is piss poor.

'And those doing the admin should have known' - this, and it could cost them their job.
