I am curious if the players are being paid enough to pay these fines. Also, are the club making enough money from tickets to pay their fines.
ReplyDeleteThey should also fine those stupid referees, especially the referee who stopped the match between JPV Marikina vs Ceres-Negros, on the grounds of poor visibility. The guy is either blind or totally stupid.
ReplyDeleteWhy did it take forever (months) for the PFF Disciplinary Committee to act on the commission of an offense of misconduct of a player or official? Is there no time limit set by PFF between the commission of an offense of misconduct, and the date on which disciplinary action is taken?
ReplyDeleteIn order to optimize the corrective effect of discipline it needs to be implemented as swiftly as possible. PFF should raise and deal with offenses promptly -- unreasonably delay of meetings, decisions and/or confirmation of those disciplinary decisions can be found to be faulty.
I agree, the timing of the sanction seems arbitrary. How do they even act on these misconduct? Officials submit written report on the incident and tge dosciplinary committee decides base on text or even worse the people were summoned on Nov 10 to report on incident weeks ago?
ReplyDeleteBut good that they made this file available to the public.
