Southend United and Port Vale receive FA fine
Both Shrimpers and Valiants have picked up a bill from the FA after the handbags incident that followed the Essex boys 3-2 win back in August. The Football Association's Independent Regulatory Commision has fined Port Vale and Southend United £1,000 each for failing to control their players. Both clubs were found guilty after an incident which took place at the end of the League Two match between the two on Saturday, August 27th, 2011. The charges related to both sides failing to ensure players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion, whatever that means, though I believe Bilel was involved in some fashion! The Shrimpers won 3-2 at Vale Park with all their goals coming in the first half, make that the first half hour, the scorers being Phillips, Dickinson and Leonard.
