The Disciplinary Committee of the All India Football Federation has fined East Bengal striker Tolgay Ozbey Rs 50,000 for his fracas with ground supervisor at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda recently.
The Committee which met in Goa on April 19 gave a hearing to Swapan Bal(Manager, East Bengal) who represented Tolgay Ozbey, Senior Supervisor of Sports Authority of Goa Raju Adpaikar and Alberto Colaco, General Secretary, Goa Football Association before giving its verdict on April 20.
The Australian striker had allegedly assaulted ground supervisor Raju Adpaikar during a scheduled training session four months ago at Fatorda.
East Bengal had claimed that their players were manhandled during a scheduled training session prior to the team's clash against Sporting Clube de Goa.
But the Disciplinary Committee chaired by N A Khan felt no sanctions were needed to be imposed either on Goa Football Association or the host club.
Tolgay was reported to be furious with the ground supervisor after he got into an argument with East Bengal coach Trevor Morgan prompting a furious reaction from Tolgay.
only Tolgay Ozbey has been fined. what about the rough team from south goa, who are always in news for asualting refrees and ground staff. The club should be fined every time for using filthy language on refrees.
