Dave Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Fernando Forestieri has been fined £25,000 and banned for three games for his role in a brawl between Sheffield Wednesday and Mansfield players in pre-season. The incident happened during a friendly on July 24 when the Italo-Argentinian striker caused a mass brawl after a bad challenge on an opposition player. He then appeared to punch an opponent in the face before being assaulted himself trying to escape the bust-up himself. The striker admitted an FA misconduct charge and will now miss the Owls' next Championship games against Stoke at home and Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Haven't other players been sent off etc in friendlies and they didn't get banned for competitive matches? I remember Rooney or another Man U player did get banned for the first game of the season once but then i thought the laws changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Was Forestieri found to have been racist because I think this is what the brawl was centred around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
