The punishment for fielding an ineligible player is loss of points gained in the affected game and a fine. The game in question was a 1-1 draw against us, so Gateshead were given the appropriate punishment.
That's the rules but it could be argued that had they not have played the ineligible player we might have won, so we should have an extra two points.
The leagues have never done that though, presumably because it could be unfair to other clubs.
We wouldn't be happy if say Yeovil were given extra points if Wrexham beat them 5.0 but played an ineligible player.
