Pompey fined for failing to control their players

[hans kraay fan club]

£5,000 for the cards and sending off on Saturday. I recall they did a little bit better than the 6 or more cautioned, as per the rule book.

Not the £25,000 I was discussing with Mr Haddock at the game, since that is the similar Premiership punishment.

Who pockets the £5k? The FA? Free money for them, if that is the case.

There would appear to be a problem with your sums, BoF.

Is the fine being paid in instalments ?

I like Al Abd as a player, but after the way he stayed down after that push in the face it's a good job he took up football, not boxing. My Pompey supporting mate has whinged on about it for days now.

Best send in the bailiffs to get that money.

Hello Seagulls. Saints fan here, but Albion are a bit of a second team since I moved down this way. Well done on dispatching the cheating web-footed fish-fiddlers at the weekend! All the best for the rest of the season: I'm hoping for a Saints / Albion top two this season, and a trip to Falmer next year...

Welcome mate, second team, since when was that permitted? ;-)

I would think that the ref was quite sure that he had seen what happened as he acted very quickly and in a manner that made it appear that he had no doubts as to what happened.

Out of interest, what would you rather El Abd did? He didn't roll around on the floor, he just lay there. Would you rather he got up and had a go back at Kitson leading to them both getting sent off, as he would have done a few years ago? To me El Abd did the right thing and your Pompey mate hasn't got a clue.

Having seen the swing (if not the contact) quite clearly, he would have been a very lucky boy to stay on - even if Adam hadn't gone down.
