South get three points because we didn't field an ineligible player
Turns out Kliment Taseski has a dual registration. So, to reiterate.
Ange Dallas, not as incompetent as he was made out to be by everyone else except this blog. We've always stuck by you Ange, you handsome devil!
FFV just as incompetent as ever, not even knowing their own rules.
If only we'd won the game last week. Oh well, small mercies and small steps I suppose.

South deducted three points for fielding ineligble player
Things go from bad to worse. The club has been deducted three points for fielding an ineligible player in last week's 1-0 loss against Richmond. The relevant player is Kliment Taseski, whose loan period with us apparently finished on July 4th. We were apparently notified of this on July 5th, but proceeded to play him on July 9th anyway.
The one slim chance of having this overturned is that during the transfer window, we applied for an extension to his loan. Logically however, I would imagine that the loan period would have only been extended to this point in time. I mean, surely even the FFV could not be that incompetent to have not accurately read its own player data?
So, taking that into account, and assuming that the FFV did not make an error, the blame must fall on the people responsible. The pretend coach Eddie Krncevic, the real coach Joe Montemurro and footballer director Ange Dallas. Because it's their job to know who's right to play and who isn't.
You wouldn't knowingly play a suspended player. And the responsibility for getting a team on the park is their job. No one else's. It's what they get paid to do. They've been delegated that task because that's how it all works. And if they're not held responsible, then the whole lot of them, from top to bottom, should probably be thrown out.
All the facilities, hard work and scrambling to stay alive is pointless if we don't have the merest hint of respect for ourselves and our primary purpose which is, after all, to play football and be pretty damn good at it. And to be brutal for a moment, we've sucked balls for most of the past five years. Something has to be done.

Yes? What happened? When did that happen? How much of it? Oh my goodness, I'll be right up.
If Sydney United and Melbourne Knights could get the backlash they did for farming kids off to Croatian clubs, I wonder what kind of stick we'll get for allowing this sort of blatantly treasonous behaviour. And is the club getting paid? And will they move with us to wherever the fuck we're going after this week? And will we quickly become hoof and hope afficionados because of this relationship? If so, the blame shouldn't be on Vaughan Coveny's head - he is after all, entitled to try and sneakily increase the chances of his homeland at whatever cost - but instead, squarely at the feet of Football Director Ange Dallas if anything should happen to our precious jogo bonito.
Soccer: DIY All Whites hit on unusual way of preparing for Cup

Welcome to the DIY All Whites.
Members of New Zealand's World Cup-bound soccer side have taken themselves to Melbourne to keep in shape for the tournament in June.
Tim Brown, Ben Sigmund, Leo Bertos and David Mulligan from the Wellington Phoenix and Shane Smeltz from Gold Coast United designed the 12-day camp to negate the long break before playing Australia on May 24.
Brown and Sigmund hit on their own camp concept after the Phoenix's A-league campaign ended last month.
"We're supplying the food but New Zealand Football came to the party with money for airfares, accommodation and a rental car which we are really grateful for," Sigmund said.
"I suppose what we have done is unique ... but we desperately needed to get away from distractions and be focused on football."
The five train in the morning under Phoenix assistant Luciano Trani using programmes set by All Whites trainer Kenny McMillan, then work with Victorian club South Melbourne.
"Other World Cup teams get paid a lot more money and get everything you could possibly need," said Sigmund.
"We've heard England have three pitches at their base in South Africa mapped out to the size of the fields their group matches are on. Those are things we could never dream of."
Most of the All Whites will go into camp in Auckland on April 28

What does South Melbourne Mean To You? Gala Ball Edition
South of the Border tried to get its head on this, but was not able too. Pity. Too many names to list in the labels section.

SMFCTV Episode 13 - Ange Dallas gets cramp in his eyebrow
This week's edition of SMFCTV includes footage of last week's game but also scenes from the inaugural SMFC Corporate Challenge, which apparently went quite well.
