If it was the vegetarian one ?
FA showing zero tolerance to managers small transgressions (happy or angry) in the heat of the moment. Part of their Respect campaign I guess. Whilst players seem to have so much more scope to do a bunch of gamesmanship stuff.

It seems very harsh indeed, but as Chris Hughton said when interviewed the other day, the FA have set a precedent by fining managers/players for this sort of thing before, so probably feel that they have to continue with it.

Shame they don't come down hard on refs that fail to acknowledge mistakes!!!!

they need to focus on quality of refereeing and playacting on the pitch .....

Bloody ridiculous. It should just be between Emery and the fan he accidentally hit. If the FA had to get involved (and they didn't) they should have asked for a 'victim' statement from the fan - and if the statement came back, 'no, you're OK, no harm done, no hard feelings', then that should be the end of it.
Still, the fine's only small change to him, I suppose, like you or me getting fined twenty quid - bit of a bugger, but just pay it and move on, wtf.

This is what happens when the stewards miss people with full capped water bottles. Think of the damage you could do with a flask.

At least two managers have been banned from their technical areas and had match bans for the same thing, plus red cards. He got off lightly.

Yes, £8,000 was getting off lightly. Only trouble with that was, he had done nothing to warrant getting off lightly from. IMHO. Not that that will cut any ice with you...........

Cut any ice? What on earth are you talking about? I don't agree with managers getting fined thousands by an FA full of suits, who are raking in millions, and putting none of it into grassroots football, for a small outburst of frustration.
All I was doing was pointing out that it's not a new thing.

I agree with this sanction 100%.
Standards of behaviour by some football managers are pathetic. Left unchecked they would just gradually get even worse.

Sadly I don’t think the FA had much choice.
Did he mean to hit a fan ? No
Did he mean to kick the bottle ? Yes
The fact the fan was unhurt isn’t really relevant to him being punished, he could have been which is the point. And the FA have to judge it on previous similar incidents which they have dealt with.
