The Malta FA Disciplinary Commissioner yesterday imposed hefty punishments on a player and a club official who committed serious offences against match officials.

Vittoriosa Stars striker Anthony Eviparker has received a three-month ban after he made disparaging remarks against referee Joe Attard at the end of his side's Division One League match against Mosta on Tuesday. The Nigerian forward was shown the red card after the final whistle.

Former Malta midfielder Ivan Zammit must serve a two-match ban after he was sent off in Vittoriosa's 1-0 defeat to Mosta.

Massimiliano Pisani, an official of IASC club Cospicua St Thomas, was suspended for three years after he assaulted an assistant referee.

Cospicua went down 4-3 Zurrieq Wolves on Sunday.

In the Premier League, Msida St Joseph defender Clive Brincat was yesterday suspended for two matches.

Brincat was dismissed by referee Chris Lautier after hitting out at Hibs' midfielder Pablo Doffo during Msida's 4-0 defeat.

Hibs official Stephen Abela, who was involved in a verbal exchange with Brincat as the latter walked off the pitch, has been given a one-match touchline ban.

Hamrun Spartans' forward Gaetan Spiteri will have to miss his side's clash with Floriana next month after he got a one-match ban for four yellow cards.
