given Halcs and Alans counter arguments with GR and Newtons laws of motion.
But first I think we need to do away with the dropping of light in the gravity field as being a separate point, and isn't really the point under consideration, as the light beam suggested can be treated as straight enough to discern whats accelerating.
Given we could very easily set the ball and feather to drop say 10 metres and the points observed of the stream light passing across the vacuum the deviation from straight/horizontal would be negligible, I.E across the length of the football pitch at Wembley 105 metres it would drop 6.017 x10^-13 metres./quote]
Anyway maybe the value of drop maybe helpful to trace the position of the real culprit, and full marks to Kasper Schmeichel for his sportsmanship.

I thought the 30,000.00 Euro fine quite inadequate considersting the vast amount of money football brings in.

Is the fine for potentially blinding someone, in which case 30K isn't much and it's levied against the wrong account; or is it for possibly upsetting a game in which we find out which of two groups of men is better at kicking a ball around a field- in which case... who cares?

Hi all,
In the scheme of things given the money that is around in football, then the fine isn’t large, but I don’t believe it’s easy to justify a greater punishment for the English FA given there’s always potential for errant actions some people do, which reflects badly on the nation, but ultimately is the responsibility of the individual.
So I hope efforts are being made to find the person responsible.
Maybe they will need to use science in that regard.
Yes BC there’s quite a lot of people care, even if football may not be their thing.
It’s has gots lots of positive aspects to celebrate, in sports and sportsmanship, for the competitors and spectators.
