The AFC Disciplinary Committee met in late March to consider a raft of disciplinary issues arising from matches under its jurisdiction so far in 2010.

The AFC took a hardline stance on crowd misbehaviour handing out $US29,000 in fines to Syrian club Al Karameh for two separate incidents in games against UAE's Al Wahda and Oman's Saham.

Indonesia's football association, the PSSI, is $14,000 worse off after spectator misconduct in the Asian Cup qualifier against Oman in January, while Iran's Football Federation was fined $11,000 for a number of infringements including allowing 'unauthorised persons' into dressing rooms in three Asian club matches.

Various clubs were slugged a total of $36,000 for failure to send their media officers to attend AFC workshops, while Japan and Indonesia were both fined $3000 for sponsor infringements.

Japanese players wore sponsors' tops in the warm-up ahead of the Asian Cup qualifier against Bahrain, while Indonesia sported sponsors logos on bags and on the captain's armband in the March 3 match against Australia in Brisbane.

The bizarre incident which saw a referee blinded by a laser in Melbourne's match against Beijing Guoan in February at the Beijing Workers Stadium has seen the Chinese club fined $1000.

Melbourne have yet to discover if any action will be taken over their failure to provide a completely advertising and sponsor free stadium when Victory lost 2-0 to Seongnam Ilhwa at Etihad Stadium, referred to as Docklands by the AFC, in March.

Melbourne was struck by a freak storm just two days before that match and the club says the clean-up operation made it impossible to remove every mention of a sponsor from the ground. The AFC is expected to make a ruling shortly.

The complete list of the offences are below:
