XtraTime Web Desk – SC East Bengal’s coach Robbie Fowler has been find guilty for making ‘insulting comments’ against the Indian referees in the ongoing Indian Super League.
Fowler has been suspended for four matches and will be paying a fine of Rs. 5 lakh after AIFF’s disciplinary committee found him guilty. Fowler said, “not sure whether the Referees have an Anti-English thing or Anti East Bengal thing” and this line has put the Englishmen in this trouble.
“The Committee held such utterances and publications are gross inconceivable derogatory and contemptuous aspersions apart from blatant malice on the part of Mr. Fowler and tends to offend the dignity, reputation and image of the Referees in India”, read the disciplinary panel’s detailed order.
SC East Bengal is not doing well in the ongoing ISL. The red and gold brigade are 10th in the league and are almost out of the semifinal hopes. Now with their coach suspended for four matches, it’ll be interesting to see how they play and how SC East Bengal performs without their head coach in the sidelines.
