£750k fine for Forest for their rants about refs.

Absolute joke. So question something that nobody answers for and get fined.

[South Notts NFFC]

We have put out a statement too, deliberately including that the FA actually were pushing for a £1m fine.

 

It's probably unwise to publicly question the referee's agenda but I liked it. It certainly ruffled a few feathers, especially as in the interview post-match Neco Williams suggested if we were a top 6 club we'd have gotten some of the decisions.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Should've fined them more. I could forgive a spur of the moment rant, even the manager or player's going off in post-match interviews – but it was a Tweet ffs. Grow up.

I deserve £750k compo from the 2nd hand embarrassment I experienced from that tweet.

[Super_horns]

 

Will every team get fined 750k for criticism of officials now ?

 

Obviously not but does set some kind of benchmark now .

Forest getting off with a light fine for basically accusing a referee of cheating with zero evidence.

 

If our owner sanctioned that crap we'd be cheering like seals on here, though, like the conspiracist weirdos we seem to be.

 

Forest, their owner, their fans, fans on here and football fans on here are unhinged.

[Corky]

We'd probably tweet a picture of Top giving a thumbs down.

Its interesting, someone like Liverpool moan and rules get changed, but when its not one of tbe big boys its a fine, or warning.

I would argue they got off lightly considering they accused the referee himself and the Premier League of cheating in a conspiracy against them. Bringing the competition into disrepute.

I have said before and will keep on saying that, even setting aside rivalries and such, Forest are an extremely difficult club to like. 

[urban.spaceman]

£750k fine for an ill-advised tweet.

 

vs

 

£3.6m fine for an extremely ill-advised setting up of a private league designed to bankrupt every other club in Europe and destroy any possibility of competition ever again that still hasn't been paid 3 years later.

 

Baffling.

What a load of pointless rubbish. This happens in the NFL and you just get the same boring platitudes every week.

Players who are subbed off?

 

That's going to end well when they are angry at being brought off!

[fox_up_north]

Omg I don't care. Pre match with the manager, post match with the manager, end of. 

[Jaspa]

Don't know what else you expect with half the Premier League Club owners being from The USA. It's only going one way fellas.

[trugerkem]

I will be tuning in even less than I do currently …

[Fear Of The Fox]

Just give us interviews for red carded players and play the interviews through the stadium speakers.

NFL players already hate the cameras in the locker room too, been campaigning for their league to get rid of them

[trugerkem]

This all sounds a bit cringey to me

Brilliant stuff. More pointless gash for the brainless that continue to support that pathetic anodyne division. 
 

They really need to introduce the old MLS penalty dash to eliminate draws too.

What a load of utter pile of brown tosh pot that is. I don't give a monkeys about any of that. More guff to fill time. More to the point how will sky show it in-between their insane amount of adverts? 

 

It's not about the game anymore and it's killing it. Just play football analyse interview at the end. 

 

Utterly ridiculous idea that is so poo that I'll watch golf or snooker if that actually happened.

No one asked for this and it will be crap.

 

They started on field interviews with players in short form cricket a couple of years ago and I hate them - they get in the way of the sport, they rarely add any insight and there are well-paid and experienced pundits on the sidelines who can call the game better than the guy in the thick of it.

 

I get that football broadcasters want get away from filling air time with crap pundits dicking about, but they should just employ better pundits and presenters.

Expect assistant managers to be busy next season, what a load of guff

It's too much now in terms of coverage, adding to that takes the piss.  But that's where we are now with it.  Build up that's longer than the match itself, post match analysis that's longer than the game itself.  Punch and Judy casting of the likes of Carragher to offset Neville because they want their 'odd couple' to have propa banta to put on their socials.

Nobody wants this.  It's not going to be interesting to watch a disgruntled manager have a little moan at being interrogated about why his team was so shit this week every time. Cos that's all it'll be. They just want someone to have a meltdown on camera so they can throw it up online with the usual click bait taglines.

It's like Talksport News where they embellish a story out of a soundbite that someone they had on their earlier program said flippantly about a nothing subject. 

"Former Utd player thinks Ten Haag might be under pressure at Man Utd amidst poor performances and results" So you drag that out for a minute or so and it turns out Andy Goldstein asked Darren Fletcher "Do you think Ten Haag will be under pressure if they keep getting poor results?" Fletcher "Yeah, Maybe." NEWS AT F**KING 6!
