Yes its a disgrace http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackpool/9378679.stm Half of these players played when Blackpool won 4-0 There was players there who played well during Blackpool's 2-0 against us (Newcastle), and some who played when you won 2-1 at Liverpool. Such a weakened team. Football is wrong ya wrong.
The FA are out of control! If they had won that game they wouldnt do anything!! Every football fan can see that they were close to getting a result that night! trouble is the FA is run my fat men in suits who no F all about football!!
http://salutsunderland.com/2011/01/blackpool-fine-not-fine-by-me/comment-page-1/#comment-17809 There's a lot of support for Olly and Pool here.
It is total bollocks. He's the manager who the **** is anyone else to tell him what team he can and can't choose. Also the fact that game was 2 all at one point so it's not like there was no contest.
It's ****ing stupid. It's a squad game for ****s sake, otherwise you may as well just have a squad of 16 players (11 starters and 5 subs).
Agree entirely with all of the above comments. Blackpool have been turned over by a bunch of ****witted pencil pushers. My sympathies and good luck with the rest of the season.
To be fair Sid the FA have their favourites, when u think about the amount of teams who make 10 changes in the League Cup matches nothing ever gets done. Yet Wolves and Blackpool in their 1st season up get fined for doing what a lot of other teams have done.
More support for Olly..... http://itsnotlifeordeath.blogspot.com/2011/01/back-off-premier-league-its-got-fa-to.html
managers should be able to pick who they want- who is to say what players weaken a team. Wolves got done too, when they played a "weakened team" and they did, arguably, as well as any team they could have fielded.
