Terek fined after Chechen leader calls referee a ‘donkey’ Posted: 20 Mar 2013 09:10 AM PDT March 21, 2013 Actor Gerard Depardieu stretches a scarf of Terek Grozny soccer club as he poses for a picture during a visit to the Akhmat-Arena sports stadium in Grozny, February 25, 2013. — Reuters picMOSCOW, March 20 — Terek Grozny will be fined 200,000 roubles (RM20,800) and play one match at a neutral venue after Chechnya's leader called the referee a "sellout" and a "donkey" over a loudspeaker during a recent match, a senior Russian FA official said today. Initially it was believed the stadium announcer had insulted FIFA referee Mikhail Vilkov after he sent off a Terek player in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Rubin Kazan, but Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov — Terek's honorary president — said the words were his. Half of the fine was levied for "failure to provide for public order and security" and the other half for the cry over the loudspeaker and the stadium announcer's comments in favour of Terek during the match, Russian news agencies reported. Kadyrov entered the referees' room after the match, which is against regulations, and his bodyguards prevented a match delegate from entering for several minutes, R-Sport quoted FA disciplinary committee chairman Artur Grigoryants as saying. "The (commission) penalises the club, not individuals," R-Sport quoted him as saying. Terek could have been fined up to 500,000 roubles or incurred sanctions on their new stadium, named after Kadyrov's late father Akhmat, who was assassinated by a bomb blast at the old ground in May 2004. Critics accuse Kadyrov of ignoring Russian law and running Chechnya like a fiefdom but President Vladimir Putin has relied upon him to rein in rebels and keep order in the mostly Muslim region, still plagued by militant attacks after two wars against separatists seeking to break from Russia. — Reuters

Liverpool’s Allen set for surgery, misses rest of season Posted: 20 Mar 2013 08:34 AM PDT March 20, 2013 Wigan Athletic's Paul Scharner (L) challenges Liverpool's Joe Allen during their English Premier League soccer match in Wigan, northern England March 2, 2013. — Reuters picLONDON, March 20 — Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen will have surgery on a long-standing shoulder injury that has ruled him out for the rest of the season, the Merseyside club said today. Allen, who pulled out of the Wales squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Croatia on Monday, will have an operation tomorrow in an effort to be fit for the start of the next Premier League campaign. "Joe Allen is due to have a left shoulder operation tomorrow morning in Liverpool and will be ready to return to football at the beginning of next season," Liverpool first team doctor Zaf Iqbal said on the club website (http://www.liverpoolfc.com). The 23-year-old midielder suffered a recurrence of the injury in October and has played through the pain barrier since. The injury has not improved and he was substituted at halftime in Saturday's 3-1 league defeat at Southampton. Liverpool, seventh in the standings, have slipped out of the running for the Champions League spots, trailing fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur by nine points with eight games to play, but still have a slim chance of qualifying for the Europa League. — Reuters
