I say: No. If it's happens at the ground, they're responsible and must be punished for what happened. That's how it's always been.

Cardiff 'blameless' in coin row
We will chase promotion to the end: Jones
Manager Dave Jones says Cardiff could not have done more to avoid the coin throwing that marred Sunday's 2-2 derby draw with Swansea at Ninian Park.
"The club with the police and all the authorities that were involved did a fantastic job on the day," said Jones ahead of an FA of Wales investigation.
"What we have to do is just wait and see how [the authorities] deal with it.
A 24-year-old man from Pontypridd is due in court on April 20, charged in connection with missile-throwing.
Jones said the FAW would discover the club had done "everything right and in its power."
Referee Mike Dean has made his official report to the FAW, having suffered a cut forehead from what is thought to have been a coin thrown by a home supporter from Ninian Park's Popular Bank terrace.
The FAW has refused to comment until they have read the report.
They will then have three weeks to decide if the incident merits any punishment for Cardiff City as the host club, while the Football League could also investigate.
We haven't seen anybody come up with any fresh ideas of what we should have done
Cardiff manager Dave Jones
"We haven't seen anybody come up with any fresh ideas of what we should have done," Jones told BBC Sport Wales.
"One fool's actions seems to have taken all the headlines - and that's wrong.
"Thankfully the referee was OK... we made our feelings clear to him that it wasn't right.
"We have no control over what happened with the supporter, the club did everything in its power.
"So I don't know what more... the club could've done, but it's an easy target at the moment.
"This one incident has totally spoiled what was a really good derby game.
"[The Football Association of Wales has] had incidents before at other clubs so they'll deal with it in the manner that they feel fit."
Cardiff have been plagued with a hooligan reputation that the club have been trying to repair.
Previously, Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale said the club was confident that the person responsible for Dean's injury would be punished.
"We've got CCTV evidence and therefore we've now identified an individual who threw a coin, we believe it's the individual whose coin hit the referee," Ridsdale said on Sunday.
"Assuming it is the right individual... he will be banned for life from all Cardiff City matches.
"It's a disgrace, it's unacceptable, it makes you sick because obviously we spend a lot of time at Cardiff City trying to do the right thing.
"Today was always going to be a high-profile game, you don't expect idiots to do that, people like that have no place in football and certainly no place at Cardiff City."
Cardiff City Supporters' Trust condemned the "mindless idiots" who threw coins and said the club should not be penalised for the "actions of a tiny minority".
