Accrington Stanley though isn't it.

Their rules. Everybody loves little old Accrington.



Cheats never beat. They should be expelled from the competition.

[marky No.1]

He played in the League game they won too, so should be points deducted

[Seasider9601]

Exaaaaaaaaaactly (see what I did there? Stanley fans will love it)

Hopefully Sir Alex will have been in son Darren's ear about it advising him to put forward a case.

[Morecambe Jack]

Suspended penalty too, so probably won't end up paying anything.

[Teams like Morecambe]

They have been guilty of this before. Incredibly lenient punishment, Im sure numerous teams have been disqualified from cup competitions for this offence in the past.

If they'd drawn pretty much anyone except Burnley, they'd have received a more severe penalty, but it is the draw of the round and Sky will be all over it... history... rivalry... original members... blah...blah...

If it was one game, perhaps okay, but two games... come on! If it was Morecambe we'd have been hung out to dry

Exxaaaaaacccccccccccccccctlllleeee how many years did the "club that never died" not exist until 1967?? When DID they drop the 1967??

[Freez]

It died for five years. And have no connection other than name with the previous Accy. They do seem to get more than there fair share of attention, but then again the back story is spun as the same club, which it isn't!
Fair play to them, but the media will always look for the easy headline.

cheers you font of knowledge! When Accy were on the way to promotion they played at Christie park and my nephew was interviewed by sky. Having already tolfd him they went bust, as soon as he mentioned this to the sky interviewer they stopped the interview! Didn't want to hear the real story. hehe
