Town coach warned: Referee Gitesh Dhar today warned Gauhati Town Club coach Juliano Fontana, who is a Brazilian, for showing dissent. The coach not only entered the ground just before start of the second session but also unnecessarily shouted loudly at his players and match officials which can be termed as ungentlemanly conduct during a football match.
