The Football Association believes that Mitrovic's three-game suspension is too light and will be sentenced to a long-term ban. Fulham is also accused
2023-03-21 16:07Fulham's 28-year-old striker Aleksandar Mitrovic will be suspended for more than three games for verbally and physically attacking the referee in yesterday's 3-1 loss to Manchester United in the last eight of the FA Cup .
Fulham were leading Manchester United 1-0 before referee Chris Cavanagh ruled that the 34-year-old forward William Bergs da Silva had touched the ball with his hand after a VAR review A red card was awarded for the foul and United were awarded a penalty.
After hearing the referee's decision, Mitrovic was very angry and protested to the referee. During the period, he verbally abused and shoved the referee with his shoulders. Then Kavanagh showed Mitrovic a red card. Fulham coach Marco Silva also had an altercation with the referee, which resulted in Kavanagh's third red card.
"Any form of violence is strictly prohibited, and a three-match ban is clearly not enough"
Mitrovic also faces a suspension of at least three games for his aggressive behavior.
However, the Football Association (The FA) issued a statement today stating that because Mitrovic was emotional when he was sent off the pitch and uttered insults, threats and provocative behavior to the referee. Therefore, the organization believes that the standard penalty of Mitrovic being sent off with a red card and suspended for 3 games for violent acts against referees is obviously not enough. This also means that the Football Association will implement a longer suspension period for Mitrovic.
Clubs may face fines for failing to control player behavior
At the same time, the Football Association also accused Fulham club of failing to control the behavior of the players. It is reported that coach Silva also made insulting words and gestures to the referee before and after being sent off with a red card. The referee Kavanagh also accused the assistant referee area of throwing a water bottle at him at the time. The FA called this extremely inappropriate behavior as a coach.
Players and managers are expected to face sanctions as their conduct has been criticized by the FA, while Fulham will also be fined for failing to ensure the players dealt with the matter in an orderly manner.
