All seems standard enough which is not great really ..... but the main thing is still pending ...... remember, they shouldn't be made an example of. They should just be punished accordingly and fittingly, The league needs to stamp this kinda thing out asap !!

oh look!!! Yet again more chaos at tolka park... is ollie going 2 blame it on us again i wonder?!and another shels pitch invasion...
E500 fines ??? What the feck ? May as well go all the way back to the early 1900's and fine them three and sixpence and a packet of ready rub each. Absolutely pathetic......Originally Posted by A face
As for making an example of them - so just how do you suggest stopping this kind of behaviour once and for all if they're not made an example of then ? Name me any other club in the league who's players, manegement and backroom staff have so clearly and so repeatedly brought the game into disrepute in recent years ?? And yet they shouldn't be made an example of ?? I know - make it 2 packs of ready-rub instead each - that'll teach them.....
its good to see them getting some sanctions though steve better than nothing, good for the FAIE500 fines ??? What the feck ? May as well go all the way back to the early 1900's and fine them three and sixpence and a packet of ready rub each. Absolutely pathetic......

Steve, i know what you're saying man .... and agree !! .... but ....
The amounts for fines has been thrashed out before ... what good for the goose is good for Kilkenny or Monaghan !! .... and being made example. It cant be inconsistent ... the whole issue caused so much trouble, everyone is looking on to see the result. Clubs need to realise this is what happens when you step out of line ... going over board wont help this at all. I think giving fines for ALL the incidents is the best way ... to single out each bit of disorder and punish that. Shels dont have a leg to stand on but the league cant be seen to be going over board either ....[SIZE=1] i'd love it if they did like !! [/SIZE]

Do you people realise this is the EL, not the premiership? I wouldn't want to pay a f*ckin' 1,000 fine!
Small change Slash .... in fairness .... thank your lucky stars for Kilkenny and Monaghan !!

Totally disagree. The theory that any fine is a good fine is completely flawed. Issung fines sends out a signal about the appropriateness of the action concerned - such that when a fine is of a derisory level, it openly states that the incident is not seen as serious. It's like UEFA/FIFA fining a few thousand yo-yo's for large-scale rascist behaviour from clubs fans. It sends out a message regarding the seriousness of the action - and in cases of low fines, it suggest it's really not serious at all.
They must be having sleepless nights round Drumcondra way working out how to meet those hefty fines......
Lets hope so anyway !!They must be having sleepless nights round Drumcondra way working out how to meet those hefty fines......
Steve, you cant do one thing (give them a fine of €100,000.00) and then next week of Pat Scully loses the rag, give another fine (€100.00) .... its just not possible.

I reckon the fines and bans are appropriate. The question is, will they be enforced?
The matter of Ireland's No.1 Hooligan should be the same as it would be in any other European country, a 1-3 year stadium ban, barring him from every football match and making him sign on in his local Garda station at kick-of time for every senior game at which he might cause trouble.
If the only criminal in Irish football gets let off with anything less that, then September 6th will be a day of shame.
Small change? Jaysus things must be going well down in Cork if 1,000 is small changeSmall change Slash .... in fairness .... thank your lucky stars for Kilkenny and Monaghan !!
But yeah, imagine what 1,000 would mean to one of their managers, and it has to be the same punishment across the board.
Why not ??Lets hope so anyway !!

Courts 'means-test' their level of fines ! Why shouldn't that example be followed through into other areas of public life ?
Pretending to treat unequals equally is inherently flawed. A E100,000 fine would kill the likes of Kilkenny, but a E100 fine meanwhile does nothing to the likes of Shels. Neither is therefore right or appropriate as punishments or deterrents .....
What's wrong with penalties in-line with both the seriousness of the offence, and the ability to pay ?

On the subject of fines, €500 and €1000 are paltry sums. Lets face it, Fenlons fine won't be paid out of his own pocket. Surely it would be more of a penalty for clubs to be fined the gate receipts of the next game or games, simple as the turnstiles are metred
As for managerial suspensions where the person in question is not supposed to be in contact with the team before, during or immediately after the game, perhaps it would be an idea to make them report to Merrion Square for the period of the game and spend the two hours in the company of an FAI officer. Obviously they'd have to sign in/out, OR they should have to be a guest on Newstalk106 so that WE know they are really not at the game
Just some ideas to ponder as these fines/suspensions are laughable and probably will not be properly enforced.
I think €1,000 is a hefty fine in the context of the eL. €50 is a joke for Byrne, €250 should have been the minimum amount.
I'd be more interested in how they ensure that Nuttsy is kept rigidly to the terms of the ban.
He broke those terms already this season without any censure, will they enforce it strictly this time?
One way to make sure that every one is hit with the same stick would be to fine people a number of weeks wages as happens in england when players step out of line.
The truth fears no questions...
It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked
but this is shelbourne, remeber glen crowe left for 'a pay cut'...
not much use if they are getting paidcash in hand (or in one case coin in hand)
Isn't that only done with internal club disputes, i.e. a manager fining their own player?
Foot.ie's entire existence is predicated on the average idiot's inability to ignore other idiots

Steve,
Just as a matter of interest, what do you think would have been fitting punishment for the above offences?
That would be far too random, your next home game could be Dublin City (no offence lads) or a big local derby! Does it just then become the luck of the draw as to when your fine will be implemented?
