REF RANT HOLLOWAY HIT BY FA CHARGES

CRYSTAL PALACE manager Ian Holloway has been charged by the FA over his conduct after his side’s 1-0 Premier League home defeat by Tottenham on Sunday.

An FA statement said: “Firstly, it is alleged that Holloway’s language and/or behaviour in or around the match officials’ changing room at the end of the game amounted to improper conduct.

“Secondly, it is alleged that Holloway’s post- match media comments questioned the integrity of the referee and/or match officials and/or implied that the referee and/or match officials were motivated by bias, and/or brought the game into disrepute.”

Holloway (above) has until 4pm on Friday to respond to both charges.

After the Selhurst Park game, Holloway appeared to claim his Palace team will not be fairly treated by referees this season.
