Atleast they did not walk out and played the game in good spirits. I wish Sunil had connected that bicycle kick.. What a fitting end it would have been!
ISL: AIFF fines Kerala Blasters; bans Ivan Vukomanovic
Kerala Blasters have been fined ₹4 crore by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for "walking off the pitch and thereby forfeiting" their ISL eliminator vs Bengaluru FC at the Kanteerava stadium on March 3, 2023.
The Blasters have also been asked to issue a public apology for "this unsporting conduct of abandoning the match" failing which the fine will be increased to ₹6 crore. Blasters' head coach Ivan Vukomanovic has also been penalised with a 10-match ban/suspension from AIFF held tournaments and a fine of ₹5 lakh.
The ban is irrespective of whichever team he is contracted with, and includes a ban from being a part of the dressing room or the team bench. He was accused of "the offence of abandonment and bringing the game into disrepute, and apparently instigated the team for discontinuing the encounter."
Vukomanovic has also been asked to issue a public apology, failing which his fine will be increased to ₹10 lakhs.
stupid AIFF. what about crystal john for bad refereeing. what about sunil chhetri for unsportmanlike behaviour. what about simon grayson for not giving chance for not making to give chance for kbfc to score a goal to make it equal.
