Financially stricken Portsmouth to pay up for indiscipline

Cash-strapped Portsmouth will be fined £5,000 for having six players booked during their 2-2 draw against Southampton over Easter weekend. Jamie Ashdown, Ricardo Rocha, Scott Allan, Luke Varney, Chris Maguire and Kelvin Etuhu were all shown yellow cards, meaning an automatic fine in accordance with the Football Association's disciplinary procedures. The cash punishment, while small by professional football standards, is the last thing Pompey need as they seek to fight their way out of administration and relegation from the Championship looming. In 2008, Manchester United were fined £25,000 after seven of their players were booked against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
