City fined over £2m by PL | Sanction agreed for 22 breaches relating to ko delays

Think you are responsible as the home team to make sure both teams are back on pitch on time,surely we aren’t the only team who have had teams being late back onto the pitch id be highly suspicious if we are seen as the only side I’d say it’s quite high overall amongst teams,wonder if there is a way of checking out on each team and timekeeping..

This season we should come out two minutes late when away at the scum and scousers, see if those twats get fined for it.

Two different games but the same season, Porto were fined less for racist abuse than we were fined in the next round for being late for the 2nd half at Sporting.

oh. thought it was the same team. TY

TV companies won’t give a fuck about the second half kicking off late. It gives them more time to have more adverts.

Is this home and away games

Does feel a bit odd that it's over 2 seasons - surely this sort of admin is totted up every game and should be sorted at the end of each season. It's like speeding 22 times over 2 years and getting the letters all at once

There wouldn’t be the headlines then though would there?
I fully expect us to get charged again in a few years cos of something stupid like the trees around the Etihad are the wrong colour green.

Isn't it the refs responsibility?

 

[mancboy]

This is the equavilent of nicking the mona lisa and being charged with trespassing because they had nothing else to get you with

 

[Barcon]

How long was the rags zebra pants game delayed?

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

To be fair, our media team don’t help as they show them being late every time they do TunnelCam, major own goal.
That said, it’ll be interesting how many other teams are fined. I won’t hold my breath.

No wonder so many people leave early
