Multiball Sanction

[andyh]

It’s all an absolute load of wank.
The priorities within the game have gone to shit.

Throw a ball back to a player incorrectly worth a few seconds, you get fines and sanctions.

Cost a club the probability of champions league football worth £10’s millions with a rookie refereeing mistake and absolutely fucking nothing.


The lunatics are truly in charge of the asylum.

Is it possible the opposition teams complained?

Is it possible the opposition teams complained?

Likely I’d say

[eamonn]

Probably Emiliano Martínez's fault.

[Drummond]

Likely I’d say

Nah, there's no way on earth that Spurs would complain, Levy and Postecoglou make a complaint? No way...

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

a bit embarrassing really. that game against spurs was a banker

[SaddVillan]

So we offended THREE TIMES

Why weren't we told about the 'Foolballing Crime of the Century' after the first offence?

Can't imagine West Midlands finest saying to blokes in stripey shirts, and masks: Nah, carry on and rob more banks, we'll do something after you've done it three times.

How exactly did what we did/didn't do in relation to theses rules affect the game? There's a referee, two linos and a fourth official as well as the  VAR numpties watching on. How come they didn't do anything?

So - the ball gets booted into the Doug Ellis, a player picks up the nearest ball,  takes a throw and the ball goes 5yds up the pitch where it's booted straight out too. The ball assistant meantime has had the first ball thrown back to him from the crowd and he's standing right beside a player who wants to take a quick throw in.

Does he hand the ball to the player, or walk 5 yards back to the empty cone and put the ball down on it.

From what the pillocks at the Prem have said, it's the latter?

Glad the Premier League have resolved the 115 outstanding charges against Man City so they can move onto the really important issues like this.

[SaddVillan]

Somebody must have dobbed us in:

Any failure to follow the multiball protocol will be referred to the Premier League for further investigation and possible regulatory action under the Premier League rules

It's a lot easier to deal with breaching 1 on pitch rule than it is 100+ off the pitch ones. Which is why Man City have been fined twice in the last 12 months or so for delaying kickoffs,

[villadelph]

The penalty we face, beyond the fine, is to remove our multi-ball system.. I don’t understand how that makes sense?

[Richard E]

A biblical quotation for the Premier League, the words of Our Lord:-

Matthew 7:5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

[astonvilla82]

Migraines starting to kick in

[Drummond]

By stopping us using it, means we can't use it to our advantage. Other than us slowing the game down when we want to. Which, given the games are against Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Fulham shouldn't be too bad.

It’s penalising whoever we play too though isn’t it?
