He has been charged £90,000 for the tweet he made against the FA. How do they come up with the fines? Suarez was fined £40,000 for the racism.

90,000 is nowt to these children. The FA - where racism isn't as big a deal as silly twitter outbursts.

I know it isn't anything to them, but just wondered how they judge what the fine should be.

Where does the fine go? It should go to charities.

Or as serious as what on video replay is clearly an elbow, punch or stamp. Words speak louder than actions at the FA. They could stop divers easily by reviewing any reported incidents. If it's decided that contact was insufficient to cause a player to "go down" & "win" (???) a penalty - ban them from the next game. If they do it again ban them for two games etc. Problem would soon be solved.

Just puts into perspective what these Prima Donnas are earning. Makes me sick.
