Boss Jim Magilton has been handed a two-match touchline ban and a £500 fine by the FA after admitting a charge of abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official. The Town manager was sent to the stands by referee Mark Clattenburg during last month's game at Preston North End.
Magilton's ban is effective from Monday, 23rd April which means the Blues boss will watch the Leeds and Cardiff matches from the stands.
The former Northern Ireland international was charged under FA Rule E3 after reacting angrily to Clattenburg adding only three minutes of injury time at the end of the second half in which there had been several stoppages.
Magilton made his thoughts known to the official as Preston prepared to take a late freekick close to the technical area and was sent to the unused terrace behind the dugouts.
After the game, Magilton commented: "Where did he get three minutes from at the end? We had three subs and two injuries and he's supposed to be the rising star."
Magilton had until April 4th to request a personal hearing, but instead wrote a letter of apology to the FA, admitting his guilt.
