Wolves fined....

[Brownie]

What if the 'weakened team' had got a point at Man United? Would it still be a weakened team then? ******* ridiculous decision. It's also an insult to the players that played in that game for Wolves, apparently they are so terribly [Poor language removed] that playing them in a Premier League game is an embarrassment and goes against the spirit of 'fair play'.

I'd be pretty pee'd off if I paid £30 to watch Everton and out strolled the kids that played against Bootle last week.

The fixture pile up puts pressure on clubs to pace themselves, but for a fan, it's basically the same as going to watch Take That at the MEN Arena, and paying a pricely sum for the priviledge, only for the warm up act to play the whole gig.

Football is becoming far too business minded, and forgets who pays the bills, be it directly or indirectly.

In few businesses ( except Mcdonalds) could you charge a customer for a product, give them something hugely inferior, and get away with it.

But then if we played the following game/final with a fresh team and won...would you be less pissed off or more?

Swings and round abouts. You've got a squad, use it.

He probably figured they were going to get stuffed anyway, so rested his team for the following match.

It's the fans that have my sympathy.
They get to the Prem, then face possibly the best team in Europe and one of, if not the,the biggest team in the world, and their manager pulls the plug.

yeah, I would have been upset if I had traveled to that match as a supporter only to see the back up's back ups play that night.:blink:
