       And while on the subject of coins. One thing I have noticed at
       FL/Championship/Premiership games is that after the coin toss
       the referee invariably runs across to the 4th Official and hands
       the coin over to them. Why? Surely that miniscule bit of extra
       weight can't affect running speed. I always refereed with the
       coin in my shorts back pocket. I wonder if there is a directive
       that this practice of handing over the coin is followed or is
       there some reason I am not understanding ?

       It is in the Laws, and it does specify a coin.
       Kick off
       PROCEDURE
       the team that wins the toss of a coin decides which goal it will
       attack in the first half
       their opponents take the kick-off
       the team that wins the toss takes the kick-off to start the
       second half
       However the punishment is out of all proportion to the
       "offence." A case where a slap on the wrist would have been
       totally appropriate.

       To quote @refsupportuk on twitter: They could have said. “As a
       coin is not compulsory we have advised the team of four about
       their collective responsibilities and have forward a proposal to
       IFAB for a Law change to Law 5 in regards to a coin being
       compulsory “ that fits the crime better.

       In my opinion the person or persons who ordered this disgusting
       and outrageous sanction should indeed be severely sanctioned
       themselves. If this is correct the game is dead.

       Do you not think it’s dead anyway? Take this payment to
       Scudamore, for example.

       I agree that this is grossly out of proportion, but why wouldn't
       it have been possible to go back, or send someone back, to the
       dressing room to collect a coin?
       In a semi parallel context I recall a conductor at the Proms, I
       think it was Parvo Berglund in his Bournemouth Symphony
       Orchestra days, forgetting his baton and returning off stage to
       collect it amid huge laughter and applause.
       As a National North watcher David McNamara seems to me to be one
       of the best around, I hope this doesn't damage any promotion
       prospects.

       Was he banned from the Proms for three years?

       This has nothing do to with proportionality or slightly
       different precedents.
       It is all to do with the FA promoting women's football. If it
       had happened in a male game there would have been no such
       action.
       In the FA's blinkered eyes anything which could be thought to
       trivialise women's football is to be dealt with severely!
