Grant fined for improper conduct

Soccer Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Portsmouth, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Portsmouth manager Avram Grant has been fined $1,500 and warned about his future conduct after angrily confronting referee Kevin Friend during a Premier League game last month.

Grant admitted a Football Association charge of improper conduct after being sent to the stands at halftime during a stormy clash against Sunderland on February 9.

Darren Bent had given the Wearsiders an early lead before a stoppage-time equalizer from Aruna Dindane snatched a point for the home side.

Grant confronted the official at halftime after claiming his side should have been awarded two penalties.

Following a disciplinary hearing, the Pompey chief was also given a further $6,000 suspended fine.

"The regulatory commission took into account his admission of the charge and previous good disciplinary record," read an FA statement.

"The suspended fine will be activated in the event of a similar breach of FA rules."
