Charlton manager Ben Garner has been charged with two breaches of FA Rule E3 following his red card during Saturday’s 4-4 draw with the Blues.
Garner was sent to the stands by referee Josh Smith for taking his protests too far following Town’s second goal.
As he left the field, the former Swindon boss made accusatory gestures towards the official, while also encouraging his club’s fans to get behind their team.
An FA Statement reads: "Charlton Athletic FC’s Ben Garner has been charged with two breaches of FA Rule E3 following their EFL League One game against Ipswich Town FC on Saturday 29th October 2022.
"It’s alleged that the manager’s language and/or behaviour was improper in both the 53rd minute and following his dismissal, and he has until Friday 4ht November 2022 to respond.”
Garner spent much of his post-match press conference castigating referee Smith and the standard of League One refereeing in general.
"Everyone in the stadium can see Dobbo [George Dobson] has got the ball for the free-kick [which led to Town’s second goal],” he said.
"To cap it off, [goalscorer Tyreece John-Jules is] offside from the cross. We get two players booked from it and I got sent off — from the referee getting a decision completely wrong.
"They need to look at themselves. It was like being back at school with the fourth official, every time I tried to speak to him it was like a kid saying he’s going to tell his mum about you. Just stand up and have a conversation — be a man.
"It’s probably a ban and a fine, I don’t know, I’ve never been sent off before. I don’t want that to overshadow what was such an incredible team effort and incredible atmosphere here this afternoon.
"I don’t need a replay. He gets all of the ball — a perfectly-timed tackle. And for the cross he is a yard offside. You can’t get those decisions wrong. There are livelihoods on the line. How much effort we’re giving and the standard of refereeing is nowhere near good enough.
"The referee today spent most of the time before the game telling my staff that he’s a Championship referee. The EFL need to look at that, if that’s the case. He’s not good enough for League One.”
