From BBC Sport Now, given the fact that individual England players will escape any punishment, should the FA take the same attitude in dealing with Arsenal?

From BBC Sport

The English and Turkish Football Associations have both been charged by Uefa with improper conduct over the half-time fracas in the Euro 2004 qualifier earlier this month.

No individual players will be charged but instead the associations will attend a hearing on 30 October.

Now, given the fact that individual England players will escape any punishment, should the FA take the same attitude in dealing with Arsenal?

You're not comparing like with like, simply because UEFA dont want to kick either side out of the competition whereas only individuals will "suffer" if the FA have thier way...(few of those who get banned will be banned at the same time I suspect).

Its all politics (and money).

Mike.
