3 points awarded to us please!
The Football League has charged Rotherham United with fielding an ineligible player (Farrend Rawson) in the club's Sky Bet Championship match with Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday, April 6, which the Millers won 1-0.
The matter will be heard by a Football Disciplinary Commission which will take place at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure that it reaches its conclusion before the end of the current season.

Rotherham are keeping schtum until the case has been heard.
Going from previous cases I expect they'll get a points deduction, we, as the victims of the crime, will not get anything.
(though to be fair Rotherham being deducted points would be useful! )

I'd imagine they will get the 3 points taken off them and that's it.

I have just emailed Rotherham FC asking for a refund for my match ticket, transport costs, pie and pints. If not, I shall ask TB.
Luckily we don't need the points, would have been interesting if we did.

Rotherham should see those 3 points gone then, as well as a nice little fine. Does seem weird that they don't just award the 3 points the other way mind.

Stupid IDIOT
Was on a 28 day youth loan from Derby from March 7th so I'd guess it expired and nobody realised, beat me to it ^^^

Gives Millwall and Wigan something to play for.

I'm sure the last thing that anyone who saw the first game wants is a replay!
Wow, that is spectacularly stupid of them.

That was good of them.
They should really lose the 3 points.

Would be surprised if they did not lose the points.

Did this player have a significant effect on the outcome of the game?

This will be the teenager who played at centre half for them then. Who had a lovely easy afternoon at the hands of our powder-puff strike "force".
As TLO says, it may not be an entirely good thing if it gives Millwall & Rotherham sudden hope of catching anyone.
Poor Steve Evans...I imagine this is the first time in his life he's ever fallen foul of the Football League authorities & regulations...right?
