Three players from a Brunei team have been kicked out of the Singapore League for an attack on the referee during a match earlier this month.
Croatian defender Rene Komar was banned for 15 months for punching the match referee in the August 2 clash between Brunei DPMM FC and Home United in Bandar Seri Begawan's Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium.
Komar's team mates Pg Sallehuddin Damit and Yusof Salleh were also handed bans by the Football Association of Singapore Disciplinary Committee.
All three admitted charges of violent conduct against match referee K Kalimuthu.
Skipper Pg Sallehuddin was banned for 12 months after admitting confronting Kalimuthu in "an aggressive and threatening manner", manhandling and shoving him in the 39th minute of the match.
Salleh was banned for six months for manhandling the referee.
Brunei lost the match 6-1. They currently lie fourth in the 12-team S. League with 40 points from 23 games and lie three points ahead of fifth-placed Home United.
The club could not be contacted but a report on its official website described the bans as "a nightmare" and said it would now require a miracle for the club to turn its league dreams into reality.
