Is it only Leeds

that this happens to? I wonder why Leeds’ fans are thought to be paranoid!

Happens all the time to all clubs

Really? If I’m wrong, I apologise, but after Saturday’s game it appears to me that the top 6 or so clubs seem to be treated differently from the “also rans” and Leeds seem to have always been picked out for harsh treatment.

Seems that way, but check out other examples above.

Not 100% up to date with this but I assume no Chelsea players have been charged?

What about the “two penalty” guy who ran almost the full length of the pitch to get involved?

OK, I’ll retract what I said. It seems top clubs are also charged by the FA.
It’s like adding insult to injury though when you’ve
lost important points in a game to then be charged by the FA

FA judge and jury then if you take the FA to court the whole country gets banned by UEFA. Great, innit>?

Chelsea did exactly the same thing after the referee gave us a penalty. The blatant hypocrisy in the FA is present for all to see.

Chelsea got charged with an identical offence after the game at Anfield earlier this season, which was influenced by a much more contentious decision imo.
