Neville loses appeal against fine
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4762164.stm
Manchester United's Gary Neville has failed in his appeal against his
£5,000 fine by the Football Association.
因之前的慶祝動作被FA罰£5,000,對此Gary提出上訴,不過失敗了 @@
The defender was found guilty of improper conduct after taunting Liverpool
fans following United's late winner at Old Trafford on 22 January.
The 31-year-old, who is a representative for the Professional Footballers'
Association, gave evidence via video-link at his hearing.
After the verdict he insisted that he would appeal the decision on principle.
Neville was scathing of the FA's charge on him and said that he was being
unfairly punished.
He said after the verdict: "I do not think it constituted improper conduct
or bringing the game into disrepute, which is why I am appealing the FA
decision.
"I know people say £5,000 is nothing to a Premiership footballer, but I'd
have contested the fine if it was 50p."
Neville was handed the fine in February.
"I still believe that my goal celebration against Liverpool at Old Trafford
has been blown out of all proportion," he added in his column for The Times
newspaper.
"To accept it would be to admit guilt and my punishment sets a bad precedent
at a time when people say that there should be more interaction between
players and the fans."
