Grimsby Town have been fined twenty grand for fielding an ineligible player against Manchester United.

A fine! A fine?

Isn't this an automatic disqualification?

What do poor old Man Utd have to do these days to get an even break?

Perhaps they don’t want United to suffer more
Fair play to them they reported themselves
Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?

They dobbed themselves in for playing a bloke they registered ~10 minutes too late. The Red Mancs have shrugged their shoulders and walked away. Half the fine is suspended so they don't do it again. Well, until a day before the next round if they pick up a lad called Jones with known hamstring issues and their fax doesn't work properly again.
