Its an absolutely disgusting state of affairs this, a total injustice. I signed their petition and made mention of the fact that a player named Esteban Fuertes scored against my team, Everton, in 99 I think it was, whilst playing for Derby County in the Premier League. It was his only goal for the club and was the winning goal in the match. It was later discovered that he was in the country using forged documents and was in fact an illegal immigrant. The F.A took NO ACTION WHATSOEVER! How can you legally register a player who isn't even legally allowed in the country? As far as I am concerned that lack of action sets some kind of precedent and what the have done to Alty stinks the place out.

If this were a Premiership club it would be recieveing widespread national media coverage and it would never have happened. Typical of the FA, one rule for the big boys and another for the rest. this is 'ad-hoc' (in)justice and it shouldn't be allowed.
