Fowler avoids FA charge

Robbie Fowler will not face disciplinary action from the Football Association over his ill-advised gestures towards Manchester United supporters at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Manchester City striker made a variety of hand signals to fans as he was warming up during the goalless draw with the Red Devils.

Blues boss Kevin Keegan said that he had not seen the incident, although City physio Les Chapman did make his way out of the dug-out to tell Fowler to end his ’dialogue’.
