Having read the club's explanation of the true facts of the case it seems strange to me that it was actually taken as far as a full disciplinary hearing. I know that justice has to be seen to be done but surely the administrators could excercise discretion in cases of minor technicalities where it is palpably obvious there is no intention to break the rules? A 12,000 pound fine is way over the top in my opinion, even if half is suspended. Mind you I'm not complaining....................
