No excuse whatsoever no matter how bad the referee is but at the time there wasn't much the club could have done.The punishment should be based on what Cas are or are not doing about the incident.
CCTV installed? reduce the fine
Culprits identified and banned? reduce the fine
Extra stewards present on matchdays? reduce the fine.
On the point of referees, do I think they some of them are biased?
YES! I don't know who's agenda they are working to but we have had referees who openly admit they hate us yet are allowed to officiate our matches and that angers supporters before the ball is kicked.
The other problem is inconsistancy.But for a decision by a ref Fev would have been in the Northern rail cup final.Funny how the same ref let a similar incident go unpunished not too many weeks later.
No wonder supporters get irate.
