Grimsby Town have been fined for fielding an ineligible player in their Carabao Cup second-round win over Manchester United. Grimsby were sanctioned due to submitting their registration for new signing Clarke Oduor one minute after the 12pm deadline on the day before the fixture.

Can they replay the game again so they can spank Man Utd the second time?

Pick on Grimsby, but do nothing against 115 Manchester City It's always the little guy who gets the rule book thrown at them. While the richest just buy their way out of trouble.

Registered 1 minute after the deadline is pathetic aswell

PhilMchale @philmch.bsky.social

But they’ve ratified the signing. Surely they must say we’re signing it off but you missed the deadline. Sounds iffy as hell. Like fining clubs for having bad owners after they’ve signed the owners off as fit and proper.

The only reasonable outcome is to throw Crystal Palace out of the competition and deduct 10 points from Everton!
