TOUCHLINE BAN FOR LAMBERT AND KARSA

[matt crowhurst 0]

AN FA Regulatory Commission hearing today heard charges issued

against City manager Paul Lambert and Head of Football Operations Gary

Karsa.

Lambert was given a one-match touchline ban and fined £1,000 for

improper conduct and use of abusive and/or insulting words during the

Canaries'' match against Tranmere Rovers on April 2.

Gary Karsa was also given a one-match touchline ban and fined £500

for improper conduct during the same match.

The touchline bans are to be served with immediate effect meaning

both Lambert and Karsa will be sitting in the stands for Saturday''s

match with Gillingham at Carrow Road.

THOUGHTS?

I think that is about the minimum they could have handed out, which says to me that they felt they had to hand out a punishment despite the mitigating circumstances.I think we should have a whip round on Saturday and pay their fines for them.

Its good of you to pay the fines Morty! Lol!

Seriously I think you are right in suggesting its the minimum the FA could hand out.

However I would like to know whether the referee and the relevant linesman have been given a holiday from some matches.

[/quote]I think it would be a show of solidarity and also a statement about what we think about the referee on the night.A quid each on Saturday, the rest goes to FONCY.

If we get presented with the trophy on Saturday will Lambert and Karsa be allowed on the pitch to celebrate afterwards?

Boyo the piece on Canaries World about not invading the pitch ends with:In the event City clinch the title against Gillingham, there will be no

formal presentations after Saturday''s game.
