He was "devastated and remorseful" apparently. That's enough.

If I remember correctly PGMOL said it was a case of human error on Simon Hooper's part. We should have used the same defence saying we have that many elected club captains they all thought they could approach the referee.

Seriuosly, though, they have just down played the Arteta punishment saying the game is emotional then ignored that defence when it come to city

Web when talking about Hooper a "he be devastated" no punishment no reprimand!

I feel if a referee punched a city player and our player get outraged we still be fined and the referee will get from web "he was under so much pressure I can't blame him smashing Rodri nose in"

What I can’t understand is why we’re paying that when the ref, who admittedly got it wrong, gets off Scott free.

He caused it and should pay 2/3rds of the fine, our reaction gets the other third.

Utter piss-taking cunts.
 
City to give the FA 10 million in future fines pools to save them going through the process of charging the club. A spokesperson for the treble winners said "It made sense just to give them the cash and they can deduct the fines over the season. We hope other clubs like Liverpool followed suit. Knowing the FA they'll give them a rebate!"
 
Athletic article from 21 April 2023. This fine seems massive all considered and £260k for a celebratory pitch invasion!! Puts us second after Everton


Clubs across the Premier League and EFL have been hit with fines by the Football Association (FA) amounting to £2.6million during the 2022-23 season.

Most of the fines are related to Rule E20, which broadly outlines that it is a club’s responsibility to ensure players, staff and supporters behave accordingly. Failure to do so will result in a price being paid.

Out of the 20 clubs in England’s top-flight, 15 of them have been hit with fines for the behaviour of either players or staff.

Everton have paid £415,000 worth of fines to the FA – more than any other club – while Manchester City (£335,000) and Manchester United (£252,000) have received the second and third highest fine totals.


Premier League games account for £1.8m of fine money, while £298,200 is made up in the Championship. £282,500 worth of fines has been accumulated in the FA Cup, with £147,250 being collected from matches in League One.

Arsenal have been hit with four separate charges this season, while Manchester United and Everton are close behind on three.

Leicester, Brentford, Newcastle United, Southampton and Bournemouth are the only Premier League teams to have not been fined by the FA this season.

In the EFL, Huddersfield have had to pay the most in fines, with a total amounting to £76,000 during the 2022-23 season.

This month has seen an array of different fines handed to different clubs. The FA ordered Nottingham Forest to pay £55,000 ($68,000) after their players had surrounded the referee in their 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion were each fined £100,000 for the recent mass confrontation between the two coaching teams.

Liverpool have already been fined £37,500 after failing to control their players in the 4-1 loss at Manchester City, while Wolves suffered a £57,500 charge over their conduct in the 4-2 defeat to Leeds United.

There was also the fall-out from Fulham’s tempestuous FA Cup exit at Manchester United. Four different charges to the two teams, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Marco Silva resulted in fines totalling £220,000.

Every disciplinary case is considered on its own merits and one particular flashpoint involving two teams does not necessarily bring the same punishment.

The FA recently wrote to all clubs reminding them of their responsibilities.

“Referees and match officials play vital roles in our national sport, and any inappropriate behaviour towards them is completely unacceptable,” an FA spokesperson said.


“Players, coaches, support staff and club officials have a responsibility to treat them with respect, and action will be taken against anyone involved in English football where there is evidence that they have failed to meet that standard.”

Fines for pitch invasions have also happened, with City being charged £260,000 in October for supporters going onto the pitch following their Premier League title win at the Etihad Stadium last May.

This week, the FA produced a joint statement with the Premier League, EFL and Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) calling on fans to refrain from pitch invasions in the remaining weeks of the season.

It read: “Our message is clear: fans must stay in the stands and avoid any unnecessary disruption at such a crucial point of the season.”

The FA maintain they operate as a not-for-profit organisation and all money generated through disciplinary sanctions is reinvested back into English football at all levels.
