FOOTBALL LEague One 2009-10 Charlton boss Phil Parkinson - 0

Parkinson was sent to the stands by referee Mark Haywood for protesting against a penalty decision during last Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Carlisle.

Speaking after the game, he said: "I was annoyed that it was a penalty. I lost my cool, which isn't good. It's a passionate game and sometimes those things happen."

Parkinson has until 6pm on Monday to respond to the charge.

  1. After all that the "Purple Nose Sweatie" has­ got away withwithout being charged, it looks more and­ more like one law for Premiership managers and another­ law for the lower divisions.
    About time the F.A. got­ their act together.
