    But the fact of the matter is, the rules call for the 'strongest' available side and while there's always debate, nobody could argue that VDS, Ferdinand, Vidic, Rooney and Ronaldo would be in their strongest lineup, without fail.

    How many other rules shall we just choose to ignore then? How about the points rules too? 3 points for a win and 10 points for a draw? Excellent. We'd have won the title.
    So you'd be happy with us being docked points when we rest Torres and Gerrard? No, you wouldn't.

    A full strength side is anyone from the registered squad. Play a player that is not in your squad...and you are breaking the rule. You're being far too literal with the "full strength" wording.

      Which is why the rule needs to be re-worded or scrapped.

      What's the point of rules if they're not upheld?

        Scudamore said the rules are outdated as they don't take into account the squad system of todays game, shouldn't they be changed then to clarify all this once and for all.

        Bloody hell, Craig's post was not above mine when i wrote this. what are the chances eh, i look like a copy cat now.

          They should use the La Liga thing - every PL team should pick a squad of 25 players who are eligible for the league season - and then at the halfway point, you can make something like 3 amendments to it. Similar to the way you register players for the CL.

          Do that, and these problems will no longer exist - if ferguson chose to include a few kids in his 25, that's his choice.

The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

              They dont have to follow rule E20 then, one of many they can ignore probably.
              he also said

              talk about brown nosing, i never subscribed to all this nonsense about corruption but there sure have been some odd occurences in the last month or so linked to the mancs

                The problem is the rules are open to other interprutation. In terms of quality nobody could argue with the point you make. But you could equally make an arguement based on fitness; you could say that because the listed players have played so many games they are knackered. And because of this fielding them would amount to fielding a weakened team. No one could really dispute this as it's a subjective opinion.

                Even if the rules were changed or re-worded or whatever, a clamp down would never work because we all know the scum would pull their international friendly routine, claiming a player is injured, before making a recovery which defies medical science in order to play in their next game.
                The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                  The problem with that, is that he's going to field them 3 days later in their biggest game of the season. So that renders this argument null and void, because if they were so knackered that fielding them would result in a weaker side, he wouldnt field them in Rome. But we all know he will do.

                    This all seems like a pretty meaningless argument. So the rule is badly worded. Everyone knows what is meant in practice and United will be doing nothing that is unusual or out of order if they field a team which is below their maximum strength.

                      I've no problem with slur alex fielding a team of reserves like he did with in the FA cup earlier this year.

                      In fact if they lose and we end up one point behind them in the league I will also be looking to take the positives from that and not dwell on the what-if's.

                      Similiarily if Rafa was in this position I would expect him to go into Sunday's game leaving Torres and Gerrard out.
