City fined £35,000 for anti-doping admin error

[BlueAnorak]

We've already had our punishment mate. A public shaming and a lingering suggestion of being dopers, the fine will be neither here nor there and the FA knows it.

This.

Why would the FA want to damage city specifically and this damage you talk of, what effect does this have on us? Give me the angle on this and what they hope to achieve

Because we've made waves about refereeing?

Dared to smash the sky 4 apart

when you think of the number of rags who must work for us, surprised it doesn't happen more often with more serious consequences.

Not filled in the relevant forms for whereabouts of players, if needed for drugs testing.
Apparently something changed with the itinary and the FA were not notified.

Exactly. The FA knew exactly what they were doing. And they did it to maximum effect.

I would expect the club to release a statement tonight highlighting it is an admin error. It's probably for something along the lines of City not stating that training had been cancelled one day. Playing this out in public is spiteful.

Maybe someone should put in an FOI request to find out which individual(s) made the decision to publish the charge and who signed-off the statement.

Edit: just found out they are exempt from FOI Act.

City are refusing to comment according to Stu Brennan.

Pre match dressing room is like a scene from Trainspotting apparently.

Yep. The charge is fuck all, but the way it is being reported is a tad fucking wrong.
It leaves it out there, that we are somehow involved in doping. As there is no mention
of admin error. Well not in the headlines, anyway.

has any FA charge ever not been published? or this just more crazy whipped up paranoia?

 

[urban genie]

Yes

We changed our training times and never told the fa, so if the doping team, turned up we might not have been about.

Much ado about nothing

 

[BusterPhillips]

F**king w**k stains.

 

[Don Karleone]

But the FA don't have it in for us do they?

 

[RayCTID]

I expect the same for any other club that makes the same mistakes.

What the one where Spud shits the bed??

 

[i8rags]

When you know their out to get you, you give them fuck all, if you slip up, fight back. Drag this charge out for years and eventually recieve an apology for an oversight by the FA.
On another note who does the FA answer to if they make admin errors, who charges them with fucking up.
