[Albion] Maupay charged by FA

[Thunder Bolt]

Bloody hell, I have always been 100% convinced it was Hooper, thanks for correcting me!

So was I, until I was corrected on Nsc. Hooper did make a horrible mistake at the Amex so it's easy to get them confused.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Still waiting for VAR to be charged for various offences over the season that have led to foul and abusive language

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Only himself to blame, as an ex local referee any abuse directed towards them for whatever reason cannot be tolerated

I agree in principle but it isn't applied, is it? Rooney got away with it.

I'm sick of the FA and referees who are totally inconsistent.

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

Oh **** off!

No retrospective action for penalties given after the final whistle which was also 3 minutes after added time should have finished.
Or for Refs too clueless to know they should have given a goal rather than bottle it and rule it out,
Nor for VAR failing to see that the ref was right and the foul was outside the area.
Or for Kane making a back for Lallana and endangering another player
Or Maguire pulling back Welbeck, without even a view from VAR.

Just **** off.

To approach the referee after the final whistle, and not immediately, some time had passed, to give him a load of abuse is lacking professionalism in all honesty. All those things above are mistakes. Even in a parks game, you could be having a right old ding dong with some players, or having a go at the ref, but come the final whistle, game is done, shake hands, move on. Quite honestly leave your passion on the field up to the final whistle. He's cost himself a ban for being a prat, he even risks missing games at the start of next season. Really not good despite you list of other things going against us.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

If the charge is for his actions after receiving the red card, then I could see this effectively being a second red card offence, so that the 2 game ban becomes a 5 game ban. (2 for the 1st offence, and then 2+1 for the continued abuse)

The best the player and club can hope for is the 2 game ban stays in place and he is warned about his future conduct and pays a sizable fine, so that the is available for selection against Arsenal.

No chance.

Unpopular but well known player
Small club
Foreigner

The FA have the perfect target to show they are being tough on players disrespecting officials.

I'm not denying any of that.

It's just the consistency of retrospective actions, I have been aware of over the years that pisses me off.

What about Guendouzi last season?
Apparently No case to answer for throttling an opponent after the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Maupay has played his last game for us. I don't and never will slate players even Ally J as they try their best Irrespective whether they are good enough for the prem. I like Maupay's passion but feel Potter will get a better striker and Maupay will be off.

 

[sydney]

Moss is a disgrace ...i reckon i'd run rings round him ...!!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I normally like your sense of humour but that’s below the belt given the hate for Maupay from quite a few NSCers

No doubt you’ll get plenty of “likes” though

That’s what makes the joke funny though

 

[Perfidious Albion]

If this happened at Old Trafford, I bet it would have been overlooked.

What can our Frenchman have said to possibly attract this punishment? ( don't answer that) . This whole wrongdoing of " foul or abusive language " is an anachronism in the 21st Century. Perhaps we should call it what it is " hurting the referee's feelings"

 

[marlowe]

I'm just surprised by the total absence of Culture Club song title puns.

I think he'll stay. Preferably, however, in a second striker role rather than leading the line. If we can bring in an instinctive goal scorer for Maupay to play alongside, then I think we'd be in a very, very good place. Maupay scoring 8-10 a season alongside a 15-a-season lead striker would see us well up the table.

There are only 6 players in the whole PL with 15 goals this season. How many millions have you got?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Whilst not condoning his behaviour, how often do you see players mouthing off at the officials during games and escape punishment? You don't have to be an expert lip reader to tell what four letter expletives players are launching at the ref- and it rarely gets punished

Still a bloody stupid thing to do. No excuses for his behaviour whatsoever.

Exactly this.

Too many posters on here who seem to live in cloud cuckoo land. The very few players who, a) might be available, and b) would guarantee you a 15 goal return, would cost an absolute mint.

 

[blue-shifted]

The single biggest show of support i've ever seen from a ref is this season after lost it and went to nut that Ipswich bloke.

I don't think Maupay got much out of the ref at the weekend, but I don't think it justifies a tirade. I support the ref in this. Being overweight and bad at your job doesn't justify that sort of gobbing off.

Neal will undoubtedly have the summer to consider his actions

Just one outside of the top 6. We need other players to score goals, instead of expecting Maupay to do it all.

There's a reason why West Ham and Leicester are as high in the table, as they are.

I still maintain that Neal Maupay is a vital cog in our team. Capable of scoring goals of course, but he never played as the main target man at Brentford, so why do we expect him to lead the line here? Maybe we expect a bit too much from him on the goal scoring front.

This isn't retrospective, it's under E3 foul and abusive language toward officials and any player sent off for it would be subject to the same charge. You can view the list of various charges here: https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance

I don't know what happened with Guendouzi last year, you'd have to see the refs report because if he saw it and acted, then there wouldn't be retrospective action. But as said, Maupay's isn't retrospective, Moss red carded him and this is the resulting charge for what he got red carded for.

Doesn't need to be millions out of our reach: the team produced enough quality opportunities that a confident lead striker could and should have scored 15 this season. Maupay's missed enough sitters that he should really be sitting on 12+ at least IMO, and that's why so many on here are getting down on him.

The problem I have with Maupay is that he's playing as lead striker for a team that's producing enough opportunities for a lead striker to be scoring more heavily (12 bare minimum, closer to 15 easily realistic) than Maupay has this season. Keep in mind that the table that keeps getting quote isn't showing how many minutes each of those players have played, and many of those above Maupay on the table have got those returns despite spending significant portions of the season out injured. I'd hazard a guess that a goals-per-minute table would see Maupay slipping down the table a fair bit further.
