Fowler banned for criticising referees

MARGAO: East Bengal coach Robbie Fowler was banned for four matches and fined ₹5 lakh after being found guilty of making insulting remarks against Indian referees at the ongoing ISL. Fowler had said that he was “not sure whether the referees have an anti-english thing or anti-east Bengal thing”. AIFF’S disciplinary committee asked Fowler to explain what he meant. Fowler, according to the committee, did not respond and said “he never intended to make any racist remarks.” In an ISL match on Wednesday, Mumbai City rallied to beat Kerala

Blasters 2-1.
