Got to say the linesman was top man in my book for saying go clap your own fans.

Well said that man
Absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

Nothing wrong with what the liner said. The refs association and FA need to get over themselves
Well have no characters left in the game FFS

Neither Arsenal nor the FA come out of this looking good even though it's probably understandable that the Lino's been stood down as there's probably a regulation which he's contravened...
Great publicity for the issue though. Not bad for us either! -)
References to it again at the weekend should definitely be made via the mediums of art and song, just to drive the point home like.
Mass Poznan on 62 minutes is my suggestion.
MCFC turning their backs on the establishment since 2008.

£700. Absolute joke of a decision. If he gets demoted to the Championship he will only earn £50 per game.JoeMercer'sWay said:well he's lost at least £375 because of that, someone's livelihood we're talking about here.
Source: I worked with (albeit in a different dept) the liner who gave us the two penalties against Villa this season. He was demoted.

That is just fucking shit from the FA, terrible way to treat staff.

Isn't it!
Do they just punish "bad" decisions or do they also offer training/support of any kind? If not it shows how archaic an institution they are!
I wonder if Dean's going to miss a weekend...?

Apparently it's been done to keep him out of the media spotlight, not a demotion or a punishment.
Perhaps it's time to call off the hounds

'PC police'. Well done. No such thing.
His sentiments were correct but it was unprofessional of him to comment. Otherwise, 'independent' officials could start making all sorts of comments, some of which you might not applaud.
I might have been a tad miffed if I'd been Lescott. The players dont normally go over to the fans until after the hand shakes so it wasnt as if he was walking off and the lino put him right. Sounded a bit school teacher-ish
Still seems an over reaction to stand him down.

Re: The Liner: "They Paid 62 Quid, Go Over There And See Them."
So a City fan and member of this board that has the temerity to hold an opposing view to yours is a 'twat' then is he/she?

Why are people slagging him on here for asking lescott to do what half the fuckers on here moan about them never doing?

Game is run by complete numpties.
Dont suppose we will get an official explanation from the FA as to why he is being stood down.
I'll answer in turn.
No joke, paid independent official with no authority to involve himself in MCFC or AFC business.
The numpties/assoicates who just overturned VK's red card.
No need for an official explanation, it's an internal corporate decision. Ideally, they could provide a clarification but they are not obliged to do so.

Being a City fan doesn't preclude anyone from being one.

Typical FA bollocks- when they need to take action they never do.

Hence me saying it.
Lescott, Kompany and Hart were the only players to come over to the fans last season after the 1-0 defeat there, so he didn't need to be told.

He made a polite suggestion to aknowledge fans, fuck the regulations.
Discretion should be applied and those acting like this are doing so because they are twats.
A quick word in his ear "don't do that again eh" would suffice.
Now they are essentially giving him financial penalties for it and it's shit mate i couldn't give a hoot about the rule book when it's being used as a sheild by faceless arseholes who feel slighted .
They are quick to hammer this fella but dither like pathetic fools on any issue they should be dealing with (see racism)
They apply what rules they like to what they like to suit them, to much self serving and not enough transparency.
