I'm wondering is RM may win this on appeal because they are arguing that the FA didn't notify the player. Would that argument work? We'll see.

I believe them after the rules a Russia might not be the same

I don't know how these clubs operate, but you would think that ALL of a club's contracted players would be monitored week in week out, regardless where they play, for: matches played, what competition, goals scored, assists made, number of minutes played, injuries, days missed as a result, yellows received, reds received etc. etc. etc. even if on a simple spreadsheet.

People being played a lot of money to do what? I would not blame Rafa for this; IMO he has a job to do and it should be someone else's responsibility to inform him who is eligible or not for each match day. IMO someone didn't do their job. While it might be the FA's responsibility to inform the player, the club should also make it theirs to know what's going on. It's like accepting that the bank is keeping track of your account accurately and not doing your own bank reconciliation...and then when a mistake turns up? whom do you blame?

It couldn't have happened to a nicer club.
