The FA just can’t get their actions to match their words.

Darren Fletcher successfully appeals & his touchline ban is reduced from three matches to two matches & his fine reduced for abusing referee & 4O, including having to be held back by Man United staff members from getting at the match officials.
Making it more farcical is the 4O was correct in law to insist the bloodied player was not allowed back on to the field of play, so Fletcher’s rant was even less justified towards the MO’s but should have been directed towards MU medical team.

Darren Fletcher had been suspended for three matches and handed a £7,500 fine by an independent regulatory commission earlier this month - now the FA have reduced his punishment on appeal

You can help us protect the game

When you do your part by reporting hate, we can do ours.
As a Match Official in charge of grassroots games, you’ll know how hate at matches can ruin the experience for others. Too often:
• Spectators abuse referees, players, coaches and other spectators.
• Players lose their focus and resort to bad language and behaviour.
• Too many people just stand by, do nothing and let it happen.
We’re asking you and everyone in grassroots football – including players, spectators and coaches – to report racist, sexist, homophobic, violent and abusive behaviour to us every time it happens.
Only when we know it’s happened can we take the tough action needed to remove hate, with sanctions that include:
• Deducting points
• Banning players
• Even closing grounds
