Thurrock Relegated Over


Recommended Posts

 

Thurrock's relegation for fielding a player who had not paid a £16 fine has been confirmed after the Football Association rejected their appeal.

Their three-point deduction relegates them to Isthmian Division One North.

 

Joel Barnett was banned, having played for a team in Yorkshire that folded with unpaid fines, the cost of which was then spread throughout its staff.

 

Thurrock owner Tommy South told BBC Essex: "Joel should have told us but he never knew because he was in prison."

The bit about prison caught my eye. What could he have done? Turns out he is proper naughty..

Joel also pleaded guilty to a further charge of causing damage by defecating in a police van.

 

Can't really have much sympathy for Thurrock, if you sign minks like this then what do you expect?
