Arnold cited by FFA for post-game comments

Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold has been cited by Football Federation Australia for comments made after his side's 2-1 controversial defeat to Adelaide last Friday.

In a statement post-match, Arnold labelled referee Strebre Delovski's decision to award the Reds a game-deciding penalty in the 93rd minute as "criminal" and declined to field questions from the media.

Just two weeks ago, he failed to front a post-match press conference, sending assistant Steve Corica instead following a scoreless draw with Wellington.
