Our manager is right, You would have been down to 10 men. You can make 5 subs but you only have 3 opportunities to do so. You had already used your three sub opportunities. You would have not been able to sub off your injured player and would’ve been down to 10 men
On what basis does the GD not count? I don't understand that at all. Opens up a can of worms if a team decides That decision now means Scunthorpe have 17 points from 7 games right? Not seen that added to the table on the sites I use.

It’s still a lack of common sense. The FA are only marginally less myopic than the National League generally, and this fits nicely with their usual standard of moronicness.
Think Scunthorpe have been screwed three times on this and o ly reason they have not been putting in a formal complaint is down to fact they are so besotted at making sure they got 3 points vs Wealdstone it’s covered up the rest. Eastleigh was almost 90 minutes is ridiculous that begins at 0-0 and minute 1 having to trek down again having gained a good point, GD should count, player has served suspension just end at scores given no one would complan
