Preston criticise nine match ban on Milutin Osmajic after alleged racist remarks to Hannibal Mejbri

Preston have been left extremely disappointed by the Football Association’s decision to ban Milutin Osmajic for nine matches over allegedly making racist comments to Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri.

Mejbri alleged Osmajic made the comments during last season’s Championship derby at Deepdale in February, which ended 0-0.

The FA said an independent regulatory commission found the allegations to be proven after Osmajic was charged with an aggravated breach of their rules over conduct, while the Montenegro forward denied the charges.

TLDR

  • Milutin Osmajic received a nine match ban for alleged racist remarks toward Hannibal Mejbri
  • Preston North End say they are extremely disappointed with the FA ruling
  • The February Deepdale derby finished goalless
