Surprised at the difference tbh. Looked like an equal amount of handbags from both teams, from what I saw?
Hope those responsible have been fined the amount to cover it. The club with dire finances shouldn't be out of pocket due to the actions of individuals.
Aye, the Leeds players involved could have covered our end of it with loose change found down the back of the sofa.
Personally think that's harsh on both clubs. I've seen us act much worse and not be fined. If the FA is consistent and it puts an end to all the handbags then OK, I'm all for it. But past experience has taught me that consistency is not a word that can be used in football and we're going to see big Premier League clubs get away with far far worse than this. Buying a muzzle for Kitching may prevent further fines.
Not seen it, was it worst than the handbags when Wolfie pulled a Wendy player back late in the game on saturday? Should we expect a fine for that? Not that I condone it but wouldn't it be great to see scenes like this at Oakwell?
Yeah got to agree harsh but stuff like this is a cash cow for the FA don't you think ...easy target to hit
