Well there's no point fining him 50p is there? It's meant to be a deterrent and hopefully he'll not get involved in handbags again!

Why are you totally ignorant to the fact that when you registered your son with the league there were also conduct rules and fines

Yes, they will ban him until the fine is paid.

Bearing in mind we now have kids playing organised football under the juristiction of the FA from the age of 6 upwards I don't think pocket money comes into any of their equations. Whether they are aged 7 or more, it will usually be the parents who foot the bill. Unfair on parents? Well, no if they are not discouraging their kids from breaking the rules; yes, of they are. One hopes that any parent who falls victim to this will have a conversation with their child.
From what I can make out the county FA have a number of full time staff that need paying, accomodation, responsibilities for coaching and training etc etc, expenses of putting disciplinary panels together etc etc. It all costs money. I suspect that insurance companies have greater economies of scale. The £35 is not just an admin fee - as I said, it's mainly a deterrent.

You could have had a quiet word with the ref after the game, he didn't need to put the red card through. If he genuinely didn't want to, he didn't have to proceed with it. With my Sunday team, we have had plenty of cards not put through by the ref

Try to find the fine scale on the fa's website Very hard to find I still haven't yet Yes it me who will pay the fine So how is he going to learn from that Where as if it was £10 or so I could have made him pay He has played football from the age of 5 Every year he has paid the fa a fee And has received nothing in return Apart from this fine

Is that right ? Trouble is I think he felt He had to as he did not want the other team to complain about him Like I said he is only 16 He had no cards until they produced one I will appeal this as it's principle
Up to the ref if he wants to let County F A know. Once he has the fine is issued to the club not the player. The club has to pay or will as a club be banned from playing. Your club can't enforce the penalty on your son but with the club I help coach we would expect the players parent to pay unless they are unable due to financial concerns.
I'm afraid you need to be talking to your son about his conduct, pay what's due to your club and move on knowing you have made the correct decision or alternatively you could just moan.

The manager has made a complaint about the other team His son who reffed the game has made a complaint and the club have made a complaint Yet i'm just expected to pay up and keep quiet How can I tell my son not to stand up for his self the other boy was treading on his toes Like I said it was the two of them But the other team put pressure on there ref to change his mind
It's not really relevant to this but I'm involved with my son's under 11 team along with 3 other coaches (not all of us can do every week which is why we spread the love). For the opening game of the season we needed to select a captain as it's a new team and the previous captain left. The other three chose my son "because he's sensible".
Now, in under 11s there is now a sin bin which you go to for a timeout as a stepping stone to what the OP is talking about and you have to mark out a "sin bin" technical area, which I duly did with cones.
Similarly to the OP the ref failed to show so one of our other coaches reffed the first half and one of their coaches reffed the 2nd. Cue "sensible" Junior giving away a penalty with one of the worst tackles I've ever seen him make, but escaping sanction due to no one present having the right colour card for a sin bin or understanding how it worked.
We're currently looking for a new captain.

Suck it up, son.
Keep your hands to yourself.
If I felt the fine was too steep, I'd 'fine' my boy what I thought was acceptable, then pay the rest.
As a one time only deal.
Anything else implies rules are there to be weaselled out of.

Exactly the sin bin under 12's are supposed to have them this year The other team had not marked them out either Like I said I want to appeal
If 12s are also supposed to have them then I have more sympathy for you based on what you've said. Both players should have been sin binned and I would appeal based on the fact that the oppo hadn't provided a ref or sin bins. You'll at least get them answering to the FA too.

Trouble is it could now cause problems within the clubs As people have said the ref does not have to send a report in ?

No doubt part of his club fees will include an item for league registration and FA registration - in the overall scheme of things these two fees are minimal. By paying the fee to the FA he is permitted to play football, so I guess he is getting something fpr his money. I am not aware of any prescribed list of fines that the County FA use, although I guess they have a range from which they select what they deem to be appropriate.
As another has posted, the fine is directed of your son's club and they have to pay it. Most clubs have something in their terms and conditions that the player is responsible for reimbursing them. You could ask the club to appeal against the severe
Ity of the sentence - I would advise against it because in my experience the County FA don't tend to backtrack, as I know to my club's cost.
