Town and Canaries Could Face FA Action for Bust-Up - Ipswich Town News
The FA could take action against the Blues and Norwich following the bust-up just before half-time in yesterday's derby which saw Town manager Paul Lambert and Canaries head of performance Chris Domogalla red-carded.
They will assess referee Peter Bankes’s report from the game and could charge the clubs with a 'mass confrontation' breach of FA Rule E20, that they failed to ensure their players and/or staff conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
The incident followed a Jon Nolan challenge on Max Aarons, with a number of Norwich players running over to remonstrate, leading to the melee involving most of the players on the pitch.
Off the field there was subsequently a clash between Lambert and Canaries’ assistant head coach Edmund Riemer - rather than Domogalla who was erroneously sent to the stands in a case of mistaken identity - who the Blues boss said had strayed into the Town technical area.
