Saints players surround referee Mark Clattenburg at Carrow Road
Saints have been charged by the Football Association for their behaviour towards referee Mark Clattenburg at Norwich City on Saturday.
Mauricio Pochettino's players surrounded Clattenburg when he awarded a controversial penalty at the end of the goalless draw at Carrow Road.
Saints have been charged with "a failure to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderley fashion" and have until 4pm on Friday, March 15 to respond.

I've not got a problem with this. In my opinion it shows how much it meant to them. I think the feeling of injustice will spur us on, on Saturday.

I understand that Saints had a chance of getting into Europe this way for next season.
.
Its not something I like to see in the game especially from a club like Southampton and I hope not to see it happen again.

Didn't like seeing it, though admittedly the first time they've done it. Best if Mauricio nips it in the bud before something serious happens. He has already apologised for coming onto the pitch. Accept the fine and move on.
Nothing better than a sense of injustice to send them out hungry against the Scousers,

As for the poxy skates coming on here I wish them nothing but disaster with the PST takeover
They think that robbing the revenue is something to be proud of What it actually means is that we have all been robbted of a new hospital or school or invesment in medical research
Who knows I may then have had my operation in this country instead of spending our retirement fund to have it in Moscow When I go back there after the Liverpool game I will once again be on my own at a time when I would love to have my friends and family around Either because the result is good and we could celebrate or if its bad it doesn't bear thinking about

Clattenburg talking to him just emphasises that he didn't have the courage to take full responsibility for his own actions.
It also shows that he doubted his own decision, and no ref should blow for a free kick or penalty, unless 100% sure of what he has seen.
I've still not seen an angle that proves conclusively that there was a foul.

Saints have until the 15th to respond. It strikes me that if we can get Sir Alex Ferguson to do the response for us we'll be cleared of all charges.

I don't know what we were moaning about the penalty was saved and lets be honest Norwich should have had a penalty before that this club is turning into a joke. one win out of seven and that was thanks to Joe Hart going to be fined by the FA and heading for the Championship and sacked the best manager we have had for years.Am I fed up? to true I am

1. Why did Clattenburg give the pen? He thought it was a foul - he was wrong! Just as he was wrong (IMO) not to award Norwich one earlier and, according to others, wrong not to award one or two to us.
2. Why did he consult the lino? I wonder if he wanted to check if it was inside or outside the box. Commendable if so. Did the lino have a different opinion? Well, he didn't raise his flag, so I guess so. He also had a far better view, so could have been asked to make the decision, which I'm sure would have been different.
Anyway, that's accademic, he made (another) mistake and we nearly paid for it. If he really did get 3 (or even 4) penalty decisions wrong then the FA should look into it.
All that aside, should the players and Poch have acted as they did? No and the FA should charge the club. The important point is will the club offer a defence and what, in the end, will be the punishment?
For me, there are plenty of mitigating circumstances:
1. If the club can compile all the pens given and not given at either end throughout this season, it would make for interesting viewing. Eventually, players are going to feel cheated and react.
2. The players' and manager's behaviour to date. First offence and all that.
3. No.2, coupled with a commitment from the club to 'act more properly' in future
This should mean that the FA punishment is no more than a rap on the knuckles.
However, should the FA decide to inflict a heavier punishment, the club should remind them how they responded to Rio's sarcastic hand clapping. That was, in my opinion, far worse because it didn't seek to engage the ref, he just sought to show his contempt.
In some ways, it would be no bad thing if the FA gave a heavy penalty. Then, when other clubs get away with similar or worse, we could offer the FA some advice as to how to be a tad more consistent.
I'd love to see a union of smaller clubs take on the FA and the big-club clique. It's they, not clubs like ours, which are ruining our game.

I understand the players reactions but we appear to be guilty as charged so we will be dished out a handslap and told not to be naughty again.

So has anyone got an address we can write to so that we can protest the inequality of treatment, and also charge the FA with employing useless referees who drag the game down. (Why did he consult the assistant referee if he was 100% certain?)

I've also got a problem with this, teams like Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea etc... do this most weeks and get nothin for it! FA need to decide on a rule and make EVERY team abide by it not just the 1's that don't mean so much to them financially via competition wins!

However... That was in a champions league match (correct me if I'm wrong on that). So wouldn't the FA just mumble something like 'Oh well that was in a match not governed by us' or some other legal claptrap?
this is all rubbish. FA clearly feel there is a case to answer. No one else does. anyone know what sanctions they can impose?

No matter how much you disagree with a referees decision you abide by it as no ref means no game or isn't that the same in footie as Rugby? The ref might be a total waste of space but you need him & play to him not surround him & argue with him. Sorry but remember this ref ain't going away & when he refs you again do you think he'll forget this matter? accept his decision get on with the game & many times you'll be surprised how his decisions start to favour you over the opposition as you've shown the ref respect
