I'd tell them to fine him the same as they did Gary Monk.

Has he said anything controversial? I assume it must relate to something he has said in the last week.

It'll be the Shawcross stuff. I hope Coates puts his best lawyers out to bat and fucks those bent bastards up.

How can they charge Coates? He's a chairman? Not a manager. He isn't technically part of the playing or managerial staff? How can he even be bound by the FA?
If I was Peter, I'd tell them sue him. I'd love to take on the fucking FA.

"There does seem to be a bias towards other teams. You always feel that because we have a good crowd that gets behind the team, referees seem to think 'I will show them who's in charge here.' Perhaps it's a macho thing.
"You do get a bit fed up getting fouls against us and decisions having an effect on games, such as a two-footed challenge that doesn't even get a booking or a foul. I do feel that we get treated more harshly than the opposition."
"Yes, there is an element of this," he affirmed. "It's like the Shawcross thing. Frankly, everybody pushes and shoves, but Shawcross gets vilified more than anybody else.
I think we have got a reputation. They say we are the biggest team in the league. We are not. I think we are about the fifth.
"This reputation goes back a long way, to this aggressive game we were supposed to play, but we are no different to anybody else. That reputation is wrong, but it goes before you.
"I don't think we have ever been nasty and aggressive. We press strongly, but so does everybody, except perhaps Arsenal, but everybody is different to Arsenal.
"We are and have been a strong side that can push and press, but nothing more than that."
"I think he (Monk) got off very lightly because of what he said and the fact he kept repeating it. Good luck to him, but he was certainly fortunate because he was wrong."

But he hasn't called any of them cheats, so he is bound to get off, isn't he?

You would hope that mangers / assistants / owners who get fined, would get together and ask for a bit of consistency - after all that's what this is all about.
This reaction is just unbelievable - the FA took ages to decide on what to do after Monks statement and now nearly 5 WEEKS later issue this charge.
Can we appeal?

He'll be fine. Gary Monk escaped without penalty for calling a Stoke player AND the referee a cheat without producing any evidence to prove what he said was true. So they can't possibly take action against Saint Peter for his well balanced and reasoned arguments. Can they?

I've never gone in for the "we're treated differently than everyone else" thing but I'm struggling to explain recent events with anything else. Whether people agreed with Monk's comments or not, it had FA fine written all over it. This as well as Shawcross being the only player penalized for a shirt tug in the box this season, (despite countless other incidents), the Daily Mail's 'hands off in box' campaign, that consisted of one fucking picture (of guess who), and now this complete horsehit, then I'm left scratching around to find a sensible, balanced reason. That aside though, I have always loved it when we feel aggrieved, whether it's justified or not. We're a right edgy bunch of bastards when the world is against us, and the team generally benefits. If I was peter I'd comment again and stir the fans up into a right fucking frenzy

Can we appeal? yes we can appeal and i'd put my house on it that we will i'd imagine the FA will use the excuse that Monk didn't infer ref's being biassed but "Being cheated" by the player and by the ref just getting a decision wrong (he didn't actually say the ref was a cheat) whereas PC has generalised saying that "Ref's" (plural) are biased so is implying they're all at it. it is bloody ridiculous though and there were enough in the media that thought it was daft that Warnock got charged and Monk didn't so if they don't uphold the appeal then it's going to be more bad publicity for the FA re: inconsistency

What really really gets on my tits with the FA is that instead of actually investigating the performances of their referees and if they screwed up any decisions, they prefer to throw a few charges around at the people who speak out against them. It's like they're untouchable, always right and can't have anything pointed out that might be wrong. A bunch of jokers isn't a strong enough description.
