Town and Cambridge United have been fined £2,500 each after admitting an FA charge of failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion at the end of the recent match between the sides at Portman Road.

The charge related to a clash involving a number of players following the final whistle after the U’s had beaten the Blues 1-0.

An FA statement reads: “Ipswich Town and Cambridge United have been fined £2,500 for breaching FA rule E20.1 during their EFL League One game on Saturday 2nd April 2022.

“Both clubs admitted that they failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion following the final whistle and accepted the standard penalty.”

Dissboyitfc added 07:08 - Apr 13 In a way i was glad to see a little bit of ill feeling after a loss like that, so different to a couple of seasons ago against swindon when the players walked off laughing and joking after a loss to a team they should've beaten, shows they care!

Orraman added 10:30 - Apr 13 If the referee had exercised some control of the game this Ill tempered spat at the end would not have occurred. While I am already looking forward to next season, my feelings are tempered by the thought of all these incompetent, spineless referees taking ‘charge' of our games again. I assume that referee assessors still attend every game. If so they must be just as bad as very seldom does one hear of a ref being sanctioned
