Manchester United's Gary Neville is annoyed at the F.A after they did not manage to meet there own deadline, regarding the players appeal against improper conduct.

The incident that the defender was fined for took place on 22nd January, when Neville celebrated Manchester United's last minute goal against Liverpool infront of the travelling fans at Old Trafford.

Orginally the 5000 (GPB) fine was given to the player in February, which he beleived to be unfair, remarking, "I do not think it constituted improper conduct or bringing the game into disrepute, which is why I am appealing the FA decision.

"I still believe that my goal celebration against Liverpool at Old Trafford has been blown out of all proportion"

Neville attended the appeals commission at Soho square, but was disappointed with the procedure, saying, "During the commission, the appeals board and the FA's own representatives accepted that the FA had failed to meet their own deadlines but decided to carry on with the hearing as normal"

The player added, "As far as I'm concerned, that sets a dangerous precedent, if the FA, who base themselves on transparency and fairness, do not suffer any consequence for failing to abide by their own rules, then I can only assume that players will be treated the same way in future.
