St Etienne appeal against closed doors sanction
Posted Friday, December 30, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Dec 29 (Reuters) - St Etienne will appeal against an order from the French league to play a game behind closed doors, the club said in a statement on Thursday.
The sanction followed the throwing of flares by the club’s fans in a derby with Olympique Lyon in October.
The league also banned Auxerre midfielder Kamel Chafni indefinitely for pushing the referee in a match against Brest.
Chafni said he had been racially insulted by a linesman. The league said it was still investigating the allegation.
