Refuse to pay and bear the consequences

It's a nominal £35k fine.....hardly worth getting excited about.....

It's not about the size of the fine Johnny, it's the principle FFS.

I know Stan...I'm apoplectic.

The FA should show some balls and simply withdraw from the world cup and all future ones until FIFA publicly apologise.

Unfortunately, I don't think they have any to show.

The FA aren't short of a few bob so maybe they should donate £35k to a much needed charity.
They're not backing down then so to speak and if FIFA pursued the charge they'd look even more of a joke than they already are.
On top of that a charity gets some much needed cash.
Win win surely.
