Magilton's Hearing Date Set - Ipswich Town News
The FA have set a date for boss Jim Magilton's personal hearing regarding his charge of using abusive and/or insulting words towards referee Colin Webster after the recent 2-2 draw at Burnley, a breach of FA rule E3.
Magilton is not denying the charge but will give the FA disciplinary commission his side of the story at the hearing at Soho Square on Thursday, 15th November.
The Town manager told the club site: "I am not appealing against the charge but want to present to the panel the reasons surrounding it.
"I think it's important that I state my case. Then we will see what the panel decides and I will accept their verdict."
Last season, the Town boss was given a two-match touchline ban and fined £500 for a similar offence after being sent to the stands by referee Mark Clattenburg at Preston North End.
