@Lisamfb totally agree, our best players last night were our kids. Just the irony of being fined for blooding youth in a youth targeted cup!

@PeterRMiles Norwich played one over aged player... Leicester played 3 + GK who were overage. Your comparison should be with them.

@Gooner_Love @dean_gtfc @siwade Luton made 11 changes to their previous game, you cannot do that as its deemed to be fielding a weak team

@Gooner_Love @dean_gtfc @siwade they did but rule should be removed for this competition as the idea for the revamp was to encourage youth

@Gooner_Love not complaining my club complied, merely highlighting the lunacy and the unfair way small clubs are being treated

@Gooner_Love its not the point, the point is big clubs academy players can play in it, small clubs that play academy players get fined

@PeterRMiles fined for fielding academy players in a competition that was changed to give academy players more game time.

@PeterRMiles @SamElliott_NLP so they fine them for giving 5 kids their debut, but those kids where good enough to win. Makes sense
