Wait a second, the game in which he picked the card was abandoned? Umm, shouldn't it not count then? Do goals scored in abandoned games count? I'm unfamiliar with these rules, can someone fill me in?

I'm not sure why people are so eager for a conference side to be chucked out of the FA Cup when it's clear there was confusion over fixtures.

Right, Shaun Newton was on 4 Yellow cards, and in the first game with Chesterfield he picked up a yellow which meant he had his 5th and an automatic one match ban, The game was then abandoned, however, the FA decided the suspension would still count. Then this is where it gets confusing, there are rumours around that Droylsden sent a fax to the FA Stating Shaun would be suspended for the Boxing Day game, and the FA accepted that, however, when the Chesterfield game was re-arranged, Droylsden sent another fax to the FA asking if he was still ok to play against Chesterfield, however, there was no reply.

Very confusing.

Because everyone is the same, just look at the bad things, nothing good. :

I think its good to see that the right decision was made in the end as I said before if this had happened to a Premiership club there'd be blood if they were allowed to stay.

At least you got to feel what it's like to have an upcoming fixture with Ipswich. I feel sorry for Droylsden but they cheated sadly.

That's the point though. A Premier League club has the time and resources to get these things right. A Conference North club doesn't.

Anyone feel the FA is biased towards the Premier League?

I know what's that like too.

Nope. needs to be longer.

It is obvious that they are. If a PL club wants a red card rescinded, fine, there you go, but a Champs club? Nope. Sorry.
