Fulham have been fined £27,5000 for failing to control their players following Joao Felix’s tackle on Kenny Tete in the SW6 derby earlier this month.
The club admitted a Football Association charge of ‘failing to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion’ and requested an individual hearing. Several Fulham players surrounded referee David Coote after Felix’s late lunge on Tete that ultimately saw the Chelsea debutant sent off.
The independent regulatory commission has imposed the fine – and will release its written report shortly. Fulham won the derby for the first time in seventeen years thanks to Carlos Vinicius’ second half header.
Completely ridiculous unless Tottenham are going to get fined for crowding round the referee trying to get Palhinha sent off on Monday night.
What about Newcastle’s antics in the game at St. James’ Park? Guess I’ll be holding my breath for a long time in anticipation of that charge – let alone fine.
why are we always chosen to supposedly setting an example to the rest of the league?
Could it be that we are only a small club, therefore of no consequence. No, No it could not be that!!
Assume the book will be thrown at the Southampton players after Atwell was surrounded and shoved about last night? All clubs are doing it, especially Man U who started it in the Roy Keane days
I am going to wait to see if this happens at Man Utd orLiverpool if it does not because they are big clubs then the System stinks and also I might be paranoid here but isn’t Trippier an England player also Kane who kept talking to the referee all night it’s easy to work out why they get away with it enough said
