West Brom fans consider FA "pathetic" after Julian Jeanvier has escaped a charge for spitting

Jeanvier admitted to spitting "nearby" Albion supporters late in a game at Griffin Park on Saturday, March 16, and apologized in a statement posted yesterday on the Brentford website.

Brentford said he solved the problem internally and reminded the French defender that his behavior was unacceptable.

However, the FA decided not to prosecute Jeanvier after viewing a video footage of the incident.

Sandra Hughes was one of the fans involved. She said, "Who exactly did he apologize to? He did not spit near West Brom supporters, he spat against us.

"Shame on the FA, no charge, pathetic. I am disappointed not to know how the incident was handled by the club.

"I was expecting at least that he be fined and that the fine be paid to a charity."

Connor Ashfield also claims that Jeanvier spat on him. He said, "If he was a fan, he would be banned from football and kicked off the ground.

"I am very unhappy that he has not been charged. Dwight Gayle was banned last week for diving, but the FA thinks it's okay for the players to spit on us. "

Jenna Bates, who was a few meters away from the incident, said, "I think that's unacceptable! If this happens on the field towards another player and the referee sees it, he is fired.

"A similar situation occurred a few years ago when (Albion player, Goran) Popov was expelled for spitting against a player and that he was given a red card and a ban." ! Why is it treated differently because it's towards the fans? "

Brentford opened an investigation into the 26-year-old man after the Baggies fan complained of the incident.

The Brentford Football Club has received complaints and inquiries regarding the behavior of defenseman Julian Jeanvier in the final minutes of the Sky Bet Championship match against West Bromwich Albion on March 16th.

"The Football Federation also talked about the incident and Julian provided a statement to the governing body and the video provided by the club.

"Afterwards, the club was informed that the FA did not intend to sue Julian.

However, in talks with Julian, the defender admitted to spitting nearby supporters of West Bromwich Albion.

"He asked the club to publish this to apologize to all the fans involved in the incident.

"Brentford FC clearly explained to Julian that this behavior was unacceptable. The issue has been handled internally and is now considered closed. "
