Well last year Syria defeated Tajikistan in the Second Round of AFC WCQs but Syria was disqualified for using an ineligible player who didn't follow the procedure for changing national teams. I don't know if that was the case for the Guyana player.
Chris Bourne had accumulated two yellow cards in Qualifying prior to the match, and still started...I assume that is why.
some times Fifa is not really that clear, and teams think that their player is suspended for another game
11. Nov St Lucia - Puerto Rico awarded 0-4 7. Oct St Lucia - Canada awarded 0-7 Curacao- Antigua & Barbuda awarded 0-3
Rules are pretty clear there...if you field you pick up two yellow cards over the course of a qualifying round you are suspended for the match following the one in which you received the second yellow. The first two actually finished that way, can't figure out why the Curacao - Antigua match was forfeited.

Lee Peltier (Leeds/England), Myles Weston (Gillingham/England), James Walker (Eastbourne/England), Moses Ashikodi (Ebbsfleet/England), Zaine Francis-Angol (Motherwell/Scotland)
Peltier should be an upgrade, and makes an already tough defensive team very tough up the middle. Myles Weston will definately contribute, but Antigua and Barbuda already has decent attacking talent. I guess he might be able to step directly in at left midfield. I don't think the other three add much. Zaine Francis-Angol is another left sided attacker, and would probably rate second to Weston. Moses Ashikodi adds depth at striker. I doubt he's any better than Byers or Blackstock. Walker plays in the English sixth tier. He's definately not better than Ashikodi and Byers and it's a crap shoot as to whether he improves on Skepple, Burton or Gregory as far as attacking talent. I worry that all of these additions could unbalance Antigua's chemistry. For me, the first two are the only ones that are worth it at this point.
You haven't heard of Motherwell who was third in Scotland last season and was in the Champions League Qualifying Round 3 a couple of weeks ago (the third place club got invited to the Champions League because second place Rangers weren't allowed in)?
