Ooops. Nevermind. My cap is still well and truly doffed to those who manage the FA paperwork. Can't be easy.

One would have expected the player himself to have realised that he'd played in this competition just a few weeks earlier. 🙄

Perhaps he thought the Mickey Mouse Cup was a separate competition!

I just spent a very long minute thinking that the specsavers logo was part of an apology-joke on behalf of the club.
It's a sponser, isn't it...

While I agree with others that you would have thought that the player would have realised that he had already played for another club in the tournament, you would have thought also that someone else at our club would have checked whether a player out on loan at a Surrey-based club had already played in the competition for that club. It is all a bit embarrassing. While I know that this competition has some sentimental-value to some long-standing supporters, from Sutton's perspective these days it is a youth team competition in which some 1st X1 players in need of game-time might have a run-out. In the current climate, in which keeping 1st X1 players fit and healthy is a priority, being thrown out of this competition may actually be more of a help than a hindrance.

This is an embarrassing post.
The club has nothing to be embarrassed about.
As stated earlier, it’s not an easy job, mistakes do happen and club have apologised.
