If this is a fine for the moonwalk by Bas, can it be funded out of TLO's t-shirt sales?

The Glory Game
Did our players do anything wrong except win a game that Hartlepool and SkySports felt we should have rolled over in?

Albion defender Tommy Elphick has been cleared of besmirching the memory of former Hartlepool midfielder Michael Maidens.
Both clubs have been charged by the FA following last Saturday's fiery clash at Victoria Park.
It was Hartlepool's first match since the death of 20-year-old Maidens in a car accident and ex-Seagull Richard Barker kissed his armband in tribute when he equalised with a late penalty.
Allegations circling in the north-east suggested Elphick did the same after a heated exchange with Barker, prompted by Bas Savage's injury time strike which clinched a 2-1 win for Albion.
Barker said: "What I reacted to was something that was said when the goal went in and he (Elphick) came over and said things in an unprofessional and inhumane-like way.
"But I never accused him of disrespect to his armband and that's nothing that caused the argument. I never saw him do anything like that."
Albion and Hartlepool have been charged with failing to ensure their players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
Hartlepool goalkeeping coach George Wood has also been handed a separate charge of improper conduct.
Wood remonstrated with Albion winger Dean Cox as he left the pitch at half-time. Hartlepool midfielder Willie Boland had been sent-off moments earlier for retaliating to a tackle by Cox.
Players from both sides also clashed at the end of the match after Savage celebrated his goal with his customary moonwalk in front of the dugouts.
The clubs have until November 13 to respond to their charges, while Wood has 24 hours longer.

'should of'?
'tis the language of the gutter, sir. But you're right. A bit like a little fisticuffs at an Irish wake. Over emotional, a few haymaker, Old Bill arrive to calm things down. No more said. It happens.

Sounds like the FA will be cracking down on EVERYTHING to generate cash to bid for and host the World Cup...
Tossers all, totally out of touch with the game...
Bring back David Davies - at least he had some balls.
