Fulham Coach Arbeloa Fined for Comments About Referee After Premier League Draw with Man United
The Football Association said Arbeloa admitted improper conduct after remarks that implied bias by match officials.
- On Wednesday, the Football Association fined Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa £25,000 and issued a warning after he accepted a charge of acting "in an improper manner" following the 1-1 draw against Manchester United on September 20.
- Arbeloa made the remarks after United rescued a point at Craven Cottage with an 89th-minute equalizer, claiming, "I knew after the game against Manchester City that they don't let Manchester United lose here."
- An independent commission investigating the incident determined the words implied "bias and/or question the integrity of a match official," suggesting possible pre-meditation by officials to compensate for errors in previous matches.
- The 43-year-old Spaniard remains winless in his first season with the London club, which sits bottom of the Premier League standings with two points from six matches.
- In addition to the fine, the Football Association issued a formal warning to Arbeloa regarding his conduct, reinforcing the league's standards on post-match commentary about match officials.
