It seems that the "Grand Monarch" has really gone to town with Workington's Carl Stonehewer, fining him a grand total of £350 in two Workington meetings that he's refereed:

I was at the Berwick meeting and Stonehewer deserved punishment for moving at the start, so he should have no complaints about that. And having seen a photograph of the gesture towards Dicken, I don't think he can have too many complaints about that either.
As for Ian Thomas' comments about the size of the fine in the Dicken incident being the same as if he'd decked the Glasgow rider, I would merely point out that I would say physical violence should be punished far more severely than a £300 fine.
To me, Stonehewer just wants everything his own way these days - he's no longer the force he once was, but expects to be allowed to throw his not inconsiderable bulk around, while opponents treat him, the ex-GP star, with kid gloves. Not going to happen, young fellow, better get used to it.

Anyway he's not refereeing tonight is he ?
