JOLLY BAD LUCK ... Martin fined Kasami £500 for this miss
MARTIN JOL has fined one of his Fulham players £500 for missing a penalty.
But the Craven Cottage boss is now facing a dressing-room backlash.
Several senior stars are furious after Jol rapped rookie Pajtim Kasami.
The Swiss midfielder, 19, was penalised for taking a spot-kick in Fulham's Carling Cup defeat at Chelsea on September 21 — because Orlando Sa was the designated taker.
Jol has upset his squad by implementing a tough new disciplinary regime with wide-ranging financial punishments for lateness and back-chat.
A Fulham insider said: "Kasami wouldn't have been fined if he'd scored it. Some of the new rules are strange to say the least.
"He is a young kid. He was only trying to do his best for the team and he's ended up being fined 500 quid for it."
Kasami's penalty hit the bar and Chelsea went on to win 4-3 in a shootout after a goalless draw.
Jol played down reports of a bust-up with striker Bobby Zamora last week.
