Media My team is too full list 😢

[Mobbs]

If it's a genuine mistake, it's not too bad. But when it's pointed out and no effort is made to fix it, I'd be pissed too.

I dunno cos a genuine mistake would mean an entire LG being unable to notice a basic maths failing?

You say "entire LG" as if I'm going to be shocked by that... I'm not.

BLUEALLTHRU noble of you to post your team as is while we wait on the verdict (I think?). Respect that.

How do you feel about the Dragons situation and manipulation of their squad?

To be honest I don't give 2 ****s about other teams mate. I know that Baghdad has to play by different rules and we accept that.

Yeah completely fair. I think the high impact is a terrible decision but we'll see what comes of it.

PS: Where did your rookie that's playing this week Bearded Carpenter post in the Sweet FA? Just having a bit of trouble finding it in the sign up thread and the team thread.

Not being smart because I know you feel bad having to take 2 players out next week but did you withdraw the appeal ?

I stand with the Bombers in this one. Normally I stand on the wall spitting at you but on this one I stand with you.

Seems there is an appetite to reduce list sizes, interesting

That's great! However, there's still no post as far as I can tell in the team thread or the sign up thread...

We listed him in our team submission thread before sign ups.

Well out of my own curiousity, I went back and found the reason for the rule in the first place and I believe it was due to me - no surprises there - pointing out the following:

cc: Cloud_

Before I reveal the #1, it is time to bring light to a discovery found regarding two players currently on the Dragons list.

Upon my research of team lists, I noticed something peculiar regarding two players at the Dragons who appeared active on BigFooty however, have never given their public permission to be involved in the Sweet FA. These players have played for the Dragons in the last two seasons however, one must question whether they have legally taken the field.

For those who remember when I, on behalf of the Wonders, exploited the loophole that existed in the rules at the time by signing "4 Big Names" would remember that I brought to the attention the stupidity that teams could literally name any poster from BigFooty on their Squad Submission post and it became the truth regardless of whether or not the poster knew about the situation.

These players are the following:

• Boneofshin
• Andrew Birch

The question is quite simple, ethically is it okay for a team to have two players on their list who have never ever posted in the Sweet FA, nor publically confirming their intentions to be involved within the board? I would be very hesitant in saying that this process is okay.

If teams can list whoever they want on the Squad Submission post, then they could absolutely exploit this system to list all posters wherever they may be on the BigFooty board. The Hawks ight face a situation where they only have 21 players on their list so in an attempt to ensure they have 22 posters, they could sign league legend Fred who has since passed and yet, there would be no acceptance of the signing by the poster themselves. It may have been unethical to use Fred as an example however, this is the crux of why player permission is critically important to our league.

okeydoke7 rectified this loophole in the Rules during his time as Admin however, it has since fallen by the wayside.

I hope for a resolution and explanation by the Dragons.

Thank you,

If you accept there are different rules for the Bombers did you withdraw your appeal ?

Correct, you sure did, that's my point . That's why there's also a team thread option but alas, no post in there either.

Ask Tigerturbulance, the OOBs have got a few that are going to miss the entire season.

What a waste

Would you have them join a team this season and wait to get a game or push other listed players out?

To be honest we know that under the present rules we should have listed our delisted players, we just feel the punishment does not fit the crime. Ban the skippers but why the **** should we start a season at -2 points!!! campaigners need to get a grip!

Enlighten me what exactly is the problem? No games just common sense please.

FWIW, I agree heavily that the punishment does not fit the crime.

Enlighten me what exactly is the problem? No games just common sense please.

The Bombers and many other clubs it seems have incorrectly signed posters to their squads without following the rules.

When it's off-season there are still rules that need to follow with regards to signing players. Yes the "24 hour rule" is switched off but there are still proper procedures that need to occur otherwise we run the risk, once again, of players playing for teams without permission through lack of no proof of permission being visible.

It's a simple rule but easily overlooked by many.

That's rough didn't realize 2 points were deducted as well

So you'll change your vote instead of shafting us mate?
