Soccer: Hammam criticised by FA

The FA has ordered Cardiff City owner Sam Hammam to remain in the director’s box for the duration of the side’s home matches.

Hammam was criticised after Cardiff’s FA Cup 3rd round win for walking on the pitch in front of the Leeds fans before the final whistle.

FA officials have charged Thierry Henry with improper conduct after his outburst against referee Graham Poll in the Premiership match with Newcastle on December 18.

Everton have also been charged for failing to control their players. Everton’s spokesperson, Ian Ross has asked for a personal hearing into the matter.
