In fairness, it's a big fine by eL standards. One of our U-21 players was fined E25 and banned for five games for getting sent off recently; another got four yellows and was banned for one game and fined E15. In a relative sense, this fine does send out a message to Shels. Whether the overall level of fines is apt is another question.

Incidentally, plenty of Shels fans on the pitch after the League Cup semi - another fine looming?

I see Pat's got fined E100 for having two flares! :eek: Think that's a disgrace, to be honest - UEFA sanitising at its worst. Dundalk were fined E50 for filling out their teamsheet wrongly! :D

In regards to the UCD game with Shels "fans", I didn't see anyone over 10 broach onto the field. I hate the little feckers, all like up waiting to run on. Another fine might force the club into doing something about it!

I think he just gets a bit upset tbh. Either that or his collar is too tight.

Well, yes. But I think Shels pull in more than €2000 even when Dublin city come to Tolka.

I reckon some kind of asphixiant gas up to their head level would be the best solution.

What do you suggest? A 100 lashes or just a good beating with baseball bats :rolleyes:

€1000 Has to be a record fine. It's clear that some people are never happy and Shels can never be punished enough. I suppose you think they should be relegated as well????????????? :rolleyes:

Personally I see it as the perfect excuse to sack Fenlon and Collins ( and Ollie Byrne too if the going is good ).

I read there (possibly the FAI website) that the previous record fine was E400. Shels have broken that three times in the one match!

E1000 is in the ballpark of 3% of Shels weekly wage bill. If anyone thinks thats a material amount to the running of the club, you need to do an accountancy course.

And does the FAI keep levying individual fines to Shels ad naseum or does it look at the big picture link them all together and charge them with bringing the game into disrepute?

Appropriate sanctions would be:
Fenlon banned for 10-12 games.
Byrne banned from attending games til the end of the season and banned from the pitch forever
Requirement to play one game behind closed doors for repeatedly failing to control staff and fans (suspended pending good behaviour until the end of the season)
