If we win on Saturday and Ayr don't, then all of what you have mentioned tonight will be completely invalid anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we got fined because we played him before he was registered to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sons'r'us Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We bloody lost the game too. So gained no advantage and still got fined. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't win as they points may have been docked which we would currently be raging about. Aye it's not been a great week. Let's hope we can end it on a high tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be even harder to fill a bus now. Last away game of the season is usually a busy bus is it not? It's far from ideal to have a late kick-off but hopefully folk will still want to travel 1 last time this season (we hope - no playoff please). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It's a bad day when a 3 grand fine looks like the best outcome for the club. A points deduction would have been a real kick in the danglies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Carswell signed 9 days before the Hibs game and clearance hadn't come through. There was even an interview with him on the os the day before his debut. This is a big f**k up and we could have no complaints if there had been a points deduction. Maybe only being a first offence has spared us that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Now that we've had the fine I presume that's it dealt with then? A big kick in the danglies, that's for sure.Let's hope we can get a much needed (for many reasons) win tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=2832This suggests the club thought Carswell's clearance was through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, and I could be wrong here, that it was his SFA registration that caught us out, not his KSI clearance. Clearance means he can be registered to play for us, it doesn't mean that he is. @Skyline Drifter will be able to clarify that though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 A bit of an unusual one though. There's obviously been a mistake somewhere, but hopefully that's it done with now.Very disappointing and angering if it's not been an issue on our side and we were led to believe the clearance had come through when it now transpires it hadn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Someone has made a momumental arse of it.Whether that is someone at the SFA, Icelandic FA or at Dumbarton FC there's no way it should take 9 days to register a player.More minter press for the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an adult anyway and especially not within Europe. On the other hand we spent about a year attempting to persuade FIFA to register 3 u18s from Newcastle and STILL never got permission. 28 minutes ago, Sonsteam of 08 said: I think, and I could be wrong here, that it was his SFA registration that caught us out, not his KSI clearance. Clearance means he can be registered to play for us, it doesn't mean that he is. @Skyline Drifter will be able to clarify that though. International clearance and SFA registration are two different things. That said you would normally apply for both at the same time. The SFA registration wont progress without international clearance being received but if it has been uploaded in the first place it would normally progress automatically within an hour of clearance being received never mind two days given that the story saying it had been received was on a Thursday. I think its very unlikely the SFA "forgot" to register him after getting clearance. Near impossible I would have thought so more likely there was a problem with the SFA paperwork or something and the initial attempt was rejected and needed resubmitted. It is however ALWAYS the responsibility of the club to check a player is on their registered player list before including him on a teamline. No matter who did what if he wasnt on the list he shouldnt have played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
