Is the Football Association an oppressive, intolerant organisation?

They don't allow managers or players to talk openly. If one negative word is said about the referee, linesmen or any of the officials by them then the FA take action. There is no freedom of expression given to the managers or players at all. Then there is this which I think is ridiculous:

Now I am not saying Drogba should have punched Vidic but I do think it is pathetic the FA are looking to take action just because he said (said, not actually done but said) he wished he had.





Must be nice to be the FA - if you are running low on cash or need to keep your bank account flowing with cash, just fine anyone for anything - which they seem to do all the time. Fine, fine, fine. $$$$





What do others think?|||I think it's really pathetic of the FA to be quite honest. Managers and players get fined for the simplest of comments, it stops people being able to speak freely. Another factor that the FA need to consider is that most of these comments are said rashly and in the heat of the moment, directly after a match in which a bad decision was given against them that cost them the match. There's no point of interviews after a match if players and managers can't say what they feel.|||Your job has rules of confidentiality and certain rules. These players are paid professionals. If they don't like the rules or job, go to the CFL or find a new profession.|||Personally I feel players shouldnt be releasing books while they are still playing! Rooney had a book when he was 20 come on!





It would solve this problem really. And punishing someone for saying they want to do something really is silly, but I guess they want to prevent people from doing it cause of the example it sets to young readers.
