cfcuk Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Can somebody please explain to me EXACTLY what we did wrong. Was it down to us recalling Fitzgerald outwith the January window? Or was it because he wasn't correctly registered in September, or was it because he had been registered with somebody else b4 September? Or another reason? If it was the former - I can't believe we've made that mistake as the first thing I said when I heard about this was I didn't think you could recall a player outwith the transfer window.don't think anyone has been told what the breech of rules I presume it was for calling him back outside the window . But interestingly he does appear in our squad unlike Arron Miller who is out on loan In summary I have no idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Junior and Lowland league clubs don't need to abide by the same rules regarding transfer windows etc. No idea if the US team he came from would count towards the number of clubs played in during a season as they were an amateur club. The error made was recalling him outwith the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true - it does suit the wee teams - L1 and L2 clubs could easily have a 20 team league and the big clubs wouldn't be the least bit bothered. Am I happy that we are 8th in a 10 team league rather than 18th in a 20 team league? Not that bothered if that is the comparison you are suggesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde > Bankies > Clyde > Bankies makes two, unless I'm very much mistaken. Whoever we signed him from in September (im assuming he was with another club in August as C4E infers- perhaps wrongly also) and i genuinely didnt know he had returned to Clydebank in all this. Again, presumed another club may have shown interest. Bigger fish to fry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Not sure what the further statement to follow will contain but at the very least I would hope for some clarity on what exactly went wrong, how it went wrong and how we can be categorically guaranteed it won’t happen again. As much as I strongly disagree with the severity of the punishment and the inconsistencies with similar offences, we still should not have ended up in this situation. That team of players deserves recognition for their achievements this season and instead of being neck and neck with Peterhead at the top (a position from which I would strongly fancy us) we are left trailing through no fault of theirs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone made this big of a mistake in business a P45 would be issued. We don’t go up watch how bad things unfold. I’m telling you we will be fucked big time and I mean the club as a whole. As David W pointed out two directors offered resignation. This was rejected by remainder of the board. There’s no doubting it was an honest yet severe mistake. Newsflash - I’m not involved in any way with the club, but have sat back and studied who does what and who does nothing. Those who do, say little, those who do nothing say plenty from what I’ve observed the board as a whole have made this season a good one, but many believe it’s just one man . Not from my viewpoint , although like the rest our former chair has contributed to a collective that could well see us promoted. Shane on these other board members who aren’t as visible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden Cowboy Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I assume Clyde thought the extension period for L1 and L2 clubs for signing players till the end of February meant that the transfer window in respect of all aspects was also extended from end of January till end of February but that was not the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks came in from Dundee United the same week.You can't recall players who are out on loan out with the transfer window. I'm assuming they thought the deadline was end of Feb in either case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Here. Mind that time we had a full squad of players signed up on £1 contracts to avoid registration loopholes and absolutely nothing happened to us? Some laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The points deductions though aren't even the contentious bit of the decision. Haven't you got anything else to be more interested in? Like the battle for 7th place with Elgin?!

Jeremy Fisher Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Maybe "someone" should analyse all Peterheid's 'comings and goings' pre-season and transfer window just to see if all their playing squad was "eligible". No wee hidden misdemeanours. Wouldn't that be a turn-up if they were also deducted points.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) At the end of the day nobody made a rip roaring James Hunt of it other than whoever it is on the board who is responsible for player registration etc. Aye the punishment is extreme as well as inconsistent from the SFA but we aren't Rangers or Celtic. And they didn't make or cause the error either. We did. Sadly Berwick are actually being punished far worse than we are. Their existence may be in jeopardy never mind a title fight. Feel for them and their fans. Need to forget about it now and all push on firstly for the title (albeit slim chance unless our pals QP do us a turn!) and secondly the playoffs. We can still go up and enjoy the success this squad deserves after all it's immense efforts this season.
