Will proabably get dropped to 10 on appeal, but it is reassuring to know that both clubs that tried to bend the rules have not got away with it (& hopefully the loophole has been closed for future).

Teddy Sherringham, Bobby Zamora & Shaun Newton have all recently been caught speeding and/or falsifying information over the offences.
Due to the seriousness of the offences and their status as role models, Met Police Chief commissioner Sir Trevor Brooking announced that their on-the-spot fines would be increased from the normal £60 to a punishing £70. However, they would not be receiving a three point penalty.
Meanwhile, three men in Sheffield have been banned from driving.
Sheffield / Stoke - I wasn't far off.....

In the recent meeting of Football League clubs 6 of them voted for no sanctions at all in the first vote.
Then 16 clubs voted against the 15 point penalty in the second vote (listed below) but there is no way of telling if they wanted the penalty to be reduced or increased.

A decent game to watch on the Telly tonight, imho. And well done to Setanta.
And what an excellent result that was in the end.
