View Full Version : Fenlon breaks Touchline Ban
I only noticed this season that Managers have to be 50 yards away & not at ground pre or post match. Maybe this was introduced to prevent Manager suspensions.
Not on the pitch or within 50 metres of the dressing room or dug out, they're allowed in the ground....

But how can anyone be inside an eL ground & still more than 50m (essentially half length of pitch) from pitch?
:confused:
Collins was made to reserve his pitchside ban earlier in the season cos was caught in Tolka commentary box. At the very minimum the FAI/eL should be consistent?

No that's not true, Collins was on the sideline having forgotten all about his ban. The FAI allow you to goto the commentary box, that's where he served the rest of his ban.

Fair enough. Still strange though that commentary box is not seen as 50m away.
:confused:
And before i'm accused of bias i do remember Dolan serving a ban from commentary box at the cross last year.
The following suspension was issued by the Disciplinary Commission at their meeting on Wednesday, 21st April 2004 and will take effect as and from Wednesday, 5th May 2004 unless otherwise stated:
Aaron Callaghan (Manager, Athlone Town) suspended for ONE (1) competitive match, fined €50 and warned as to his future conduct as a result of being sent from the technical area v Sligo Rovers (10.04.04). Aaron Callaghan to be positioned at least 50 metres from the technical area for this match.
That example from last season does not mention the "pre and post match..." section so seems to be new...but clearly not enforced. Maybe just a knee jerk reaction to Mourinhos situation?
I saw on another website that the FAI will discuss Fenlons actions in the last 2 games at Disciplinary Meetings in next 2 weeks.
Will be interesting to see if they have a backbone...

Think its from the 'technical area' and the changing rooms.

Lads,
Same thing happened when we were playing Bohs in Dalymount last season. Farrelly was banned but spent the second half on the edge of the tunnell area in Dalymount, less than 5 yards from the pitch shouting instructions to the players.
I complained to one of the stewards and was told in less than polite language that it was none of my business
Farrelly wasnt banned from the touchline for that game.
But how can anyone be inside an eL ground & still more than 50m (essentially half length of pitch) from pitch?
Cos it's not 50 metres from the pitch, it's 50 metres from the dug out/ technical area. :D
btw Have we established what the point of banning them after the game is? Now that is confusing...
The pre & post match ban was added by the FAI this season to be more in line with UEFA bans. Fenlon definitely broke that at Dalymount. I think he'll get extemnded ban as was already "warned as to future conduct"

It's no use giving a manager an extended ban that merely matches the ban he should have been serving in the first place. That's no sanction at all.

Look at how fúcked Shels have been w/o him on the sidelines, any extension will make us suffer. Be happy if they do something/anything, its more than would have been done before.

Typical Shels moaning.
He was given a ban just like manay other managers. He doesn't serve the ban properly as he was instrcuted & now he moaning cos the league might actually make him serve his ban properly.
:rolleyes:

He was not suspended during Setanta Cup so was no problem doing an interview.
He was banned from techincal areas for Bohs & City games so completely different! He evn walked across the pitch in Dalymount.

Poor baba. He has some cheek. On the phone to his poxy assistant for the whole game as well :rolleyes: Typical Shels- when will the FAI/eL stand up to these cheats?

AFAIK there was nothing stating no phones/equip could be used to contact the bench, he just wasn't allowed be within 50m of the specified areas.

IF that's true, then fair enough. But I'm not going to have any sympathy for the moany little git. By the way Pat, are you delighted with THIS crisis now?

He broke that anyway for both games so phone hardly matters but might mean FAI more resolute in their sanctions.

Was just pointing out in regards to those who complained about it.
You know my stance on the rest from the first page, so I'll save typing and get some breakfast instead! :D
I don't see any mention of Fenlon in the latest suspensions..
Does this mean he has got away with it...?

In his time at Bohs, GF has never had a touch line ban, so your wrong on this one Maribor, he was well within his rights to stand there!
