Points: 18,489, Level: 59 | | Mascherano Handed Further Ban And Fine.
From: BBC Quote: Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has been banned for a further two matches and fined £15,000 by the Football Association.
Mascherano was found guilty of improper conduct after being sent off against Manchester United on 23 March.
He appeared to question referee Steve Bennett's decision to caution Fernando Torres, and was then shown a second yellow card himself for dissent.
The Argentine, who admitted the charge, initially refused to leave the pitch.
Mascherano had to be calmed down by Reds manager Rafa Benitez before he relented and left the field.
The midfielder, 23, was fined two weeks' wages by his club and banned for one game by the FA.
But after requesting a personal hearing, he has been punished further.
His suspensions only relate to domestic fixtures and having already missed the Merseyside derby against Everton he will also be absent for the Premier League games against Arsenal on Saturday and Blackburn a week later.
| Serves him right.
He showed a lack of respect for the referee and it serves him right that he's now been handed a further ban and a fine. |
