I would have made their chairman have a haircut on the pitch before a game.
Good point LewSton. Although a mere 1 point deduction any season is a laughable punishment for any team, atleast if it were to happen next season it might atleast have some sort of effect on Palace.Lew said:Why not apply the 1 point deduction next season, since there is no change in league position, so that Palace will feel some punishment for ignoring the rules.
Southampton will start next season on -10 points because they finished in a position where to deduct 10 points this season would be pointless. Crystal Palace finished this season in a position where to deduct 1 point would be pointless, yet the punishment was still applied this season.

Rich. said:Perhaps because the game was against Sheff Utd, and they have a history of appealing against ineligible players, the FL thought it might be best to get a punishment in there before Sheff utd can bitch and moan and claim they should be in the Premiership.
