sydney Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 20 minutes ago, craigkillie said: Berwick have done nothing wrong, which is why Berwick haven't been punished in any way. Albion Rovers were wronged by their opponents playing an unregistered player against them, and they have been awarded a win as a result of that. Albion Rovers beat Stirling Albion today - who's to say they couldn't also have beaten Clyde had Clyde only fielded the players they were allowed to. If Berwick Rangers get relegated this season, it will be because they are an awful team who have won four league games all season. Trust me, Rovers would never have beaten Clyde if Fitzpatrick wasn’t involved. They’d have probably lost by more frankly ! He is our player anyway btw. Just out of interest, when Hearts were deducted 2 points in the league cup earlier this year, did their opponents get the points ? If not, why not ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would’ve put hearts out the Cup and a smaller team through, less money and less interest in the competition, is exactly why. I accept we’re in the wrong, but I don’t believe for a minute of any of the big teams done the same they’d have got the same sanctions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it came across as me slating the boy himself then I can only apologise, as that isn't what I'm attempting to do. He gave his absolute all in both games, and did everything he possibly could have, but he simply doesn't have the athleticism, stamina or technical ability to be able to be a useful player at this level. The blame lies with Lennon for picking him, then the club for this admin gaffe. I've nothing against Fitzpatrick himself and wish him all the best. He’s a good central defender,he’s not a centre forward! I’m sure even Virgil Van Dyke would look like a fish out of water if he played as a striker for a whole game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If you were asked to guess which club in Scotland had fielded an ineligible player, without prior knowledge, I would have guessed Clyde. Some club. The hope that kills ye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 There was some interesting chat on Radio Scotland earlier about this. Basically suggesting Scottish football needs to get a grip of reality. Some clubs fans can indulge in sectarianism with little or action from their clubs and fans can throw stuff and run onto the park and no action is taken by the football authorities. Yet someone overlooks sending a form or whatever to the league concerning a player who was registered with us anyway and we get done big time. Sure, rules are rules but they really need to tackle the bigger issues in our game. Got to love the SPFL. Guess which of these offences gets a points deduction:Sectarian singingCoin throwingBuckie bottle throwingSeat throwingPitch invasionsTicking the wrong box on a form Easy to hammer a small club over a trivial matter but takes back bone to tackle any of the real issues and they have none. Minor clerical errors are clearly the biggest blight on our game right now. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy bottling yet another title against Stirling Albion or Brora Rangers next season like the absolute rabble you are. Last time I looked you were in the mix at the wrong end of the league and were in less than spectacular form. With Partick and Falkirk picking up, it could be a battle between your yourselves, QoS and Alloa at the bottom. I wish Morton no ill. I quite like them actually and work just along the road from the ground. However, your current position reminds me of Clyde 10 years ago. A mid to lower Championship team with a home support of 1200-1500 and struggling financially. And with a much bigger, better supported and recently more successful rival. I will watch with interest how your big successful club do in the next few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) The club have made a c**t of it for all of us involved with Clyde. Players, staff, fans, the lot of us. Whoever's fault it is has effectively killed the best chance of winning a title in this league in the 10 years or whatever it is we've been in league 2. Im sure its had a slight effect on the team but i dont believe the points deduction is to blame solely for todays loss. The unbeaten run was bound to come to an end eventually. A very sore one for all us Clyde fans to take but its done now. We just need to make sure we learn from our mistakes and stop shooting ourselves in the foot time and time again. I'd like to this this weekends disappointment will have subsided for the squad by next week and they pick themselves up again and push on to ensure we finish in at least 3rd place. If an appeal is lodged then fingers crossed it is successful but if not we need to accept our punishment - however harsh we feel it is - and just push on and make sure we win the playoffs. We are more than capable of doing so! Edited March 9, 2019 by BullyWeeStonehouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us are not defending the club and accept we’ve made an arse of it. Our fault, nobody else to blame. My gripe is the random nature of the action. I can understand the point deduction, which is what has happened in the past. However, I cannot understand the 3-0 wins awarded to the opposition, which as far as I can tell is not what has happened in the past. It makes a mockery of the league as it impacts other clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
