It is quite laughable but I don't blame the FA for taking the piss. They've been drawn into this ridiculous, unwanted arbitration crap and the owners continue to insist their process was biased which is downright insulting. Technically the FA have had to play along with it and take it seriously, and now they'll take any chance when they can find us 'technically' in breach of a rule.
Anyone who thinks this is spite by the FA is ****ing stupid. This is just how they run the game. I really hope it's applied consistently. ****ing hate seeing players surrounding the ref. No, I don't think we deserved this but it's the FA, they're ****e at pretty much everything.
Isn't this the first and only time it's happened? Despite numerous ref surrounding incidents, not only on the same weekend but also in the same game? It is definitely because of the Allams.
He won't change his mind once he has given a decision, if players get in there before like Chelsea v PSG they may influence the decision.
Are you actually trying to defend the FA decision to charge us for this incident? Personally, I thought Bruce was wrong to say the Leicester players surrounded the ref and charging us with anything in this game was even more ridiculous.
I personally think it needs to be stamped out and, while I think there have been other teams who have gotten away with worse, the behaviour of your players should result in a fine. It's ridiculous that teams still do it. It needs stamping out of the game and, while it may come across as unfair, what your were doing is still wrong. But Bruce brought the charge on himself. He highlighted the incident and everyone could see that only Hull players were influencing the referee.
