Here is what I saw....

admittedly a post on oinkun, but isn't ricardo more sensible that most?! Appeal to FA does indeed seem severely restricted - law courts a different matter...

To be fined you have to be guilty of something. There seems to be very little support for QPR's claim that they are not guilty.

Seems to me that the general concensus has come round to the view that they are guilty of at least some of the charges and the whole argument now is what will be the penalty.

The idea that an appeal will upset the playoffs is nonsense. They have 5 days to appeal and a maximum of 2 days to get the result. They can only appeal on 2 grounds, 1. new evidence 2. severity. The appeal committee's decision is final. Dragging it through the law courts won't wash either because the precedence is the W. Ham case which was thrown out by the courts.
