Ever wondered how the FA’s disciplinary processes work? Why do some players successfully overturn red cards and others don’t? Mark Ives, Disciplinary Manager at the FA’s Governance Division, explains more below.
The Football Association has been busy over the past 12-months to relaunch the Rules and Governance website – with the main focus on you. Yes, you. The fan. The local club player. The referee whose whistle runs the game. The coach who gets the kids team ready for the time of their lives every Saturday morning. The fan behind the goal at Wembley celebrating England’s latest victory. We want everyone have better understanding of the role we all play in the governance of the game.
Do you understand why some players get charged and others do not? Why some players successfully appeal and overturn a red card? What can football players bet on? How do people become Agents? What steps can we take to safeguard children in football? How do I improve my understanding on Equality issues? Who is subject to drugs testing? How do we ensure supporter safety? …. and many other topics. You will find the answers to these and many other subjects on the site.
Key features include:

FC Alania Vladikavkaz provide this week’s #ICYMI with an ingenious / ludicrous (delete as appropriate) free kick routine that almost, almost pays off. Not sure they can get away with this one again.
What started as informal work to help club staff in need is now being transformed into an impactful educational programme helping football fans across the country.
