Weve been charged by the FA for failing to control our players again at the City game. Thats twice in a few weeks and it cost us 20,000 grand last time so we will defo be on the naughty step this time, good old FA. Clubs like us are an easy target, they are aptly named the FA as they do F--K All for clubs like ours.
It's amazing isn't it. How many times do you see a Ref get crowded after awarding a dubious penalty? How many times do the likes of Man U, Arse or Chelsea get charged for said offence? It makes you wonder.
Cyprus, The answer to your question is hardly ever. The so called big 4 operate from a different FA rule book to the rest of us, and it has always been thus.
Was just going to post the same article,almost word for word!It defies logic..Fergie's team have got away with it for years.What is even more annoying is that the players were right..it was not a penalty as the lad was not touched!!
Still had the game recorded from Football First so watched the incident again and they did nothing that most teams in the premier have done in the past without any action being taken by the FA (F***ing A***holes)
I hope when we are "big four" again, we will get issued with said book. I particularly like rule 51.1c, entitled...Fergie time.
Why do refs never get charged for incompetence? I appreciate they have a difficult job and see things once at real time but ffs they get dropped to the championship for 1 game and then its forgotten. Managers have to come out and comment at the end of a match thus risking being charged and fined if a dodgy decision has been given. Why the f*ck do refs not come out, apologise and sometimes admit they f*cked up. A couple that come to mind are the Spurs against Man U goal and especially the Watford/Reading game where the ball went wide by about 3 effing yards and Andre Marriner gave a goal.
The FA are bunch of useless, spineless bastards. Always have been, always will be. All it is in essence is a ****ing quango, jobs for the boys with the right school tie. I'd love to play football with that fat **** Barwick. His head that is.
