    Blackpool, Reading, Southend & Scunthorpe haven't already got warnings hanging over their heads.

    How about nicking every ball that ends up in the crowd until they have run out and have to abandon the match. Shouldnt take long with the way our defenders shank balls out of play.

    Millwall ran riot at Wembley = no points deduction.
    It's a threat but never happens.

    When was the last time a team got a points deduction for the behaviour of it's supporters?

    And Reading have done it for the last 2 home matches as well.
    Absolutely no chance of a points deduction for chucking a few tennis balls.

    Makes what right?
    You said we could get a points deduction for throwing tennis balls. I'm saying that's not going to happen. Ever.

    Makes throwing objects on the pitch right. By all means stage a protest but what you are clearly backing is illegal.

    Joint statement from the FA, Premier League, EFL and FSA:
    The FA, Premier League and EFL are together introducing new measures and stronger sanctions across the game to tackle the increased anti-social and criminal behaviours recently seen within football grounds and underline the importance of a safe matchday environment.

    The new set of actions, which will be implemented across all English football leagues from the start of season 2022/23 and backed by the Football Supporters’ Association, will target activity such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects – as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour.

    These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere.

    From the start of season 2022/23, all identified offenders will be reported by clubs to the police and prosecution could result in a permanent criminal record, which may affect their employment and education, and could result in a prison sentence. The FA will also be enforcing a tougher charging and sanctioning policy for clubs, which will reinforce these measures.

    I'm not backing anything. I'm correcting you about the points deduction.
    It will never happen.

    They were also adding all the time on at the end of games and getting tougher on time wasting.

    It lasted approximately 3 weeks until the big boys sulked about exhaustion (please! :rolleyes:) and was then immediately dropped.

    And yet he’s advocating nicking balls that come in to the crowd.
    That’s theft in my book.
    And that’s illegal.

    You’d stand more chance of getting a ball if you stood on midland rd waiting for Smallwood to play one towards our striker
