Championship - Hendrie banned and fined for outburst

Eurosport - Wed, 10 Jun 12:49:00 2009

Lee Hendrie has been banned for four matches and fined £3,500 for verbally abusing referee Mike Dean at the end of last month's Championship play-off final.

Lee Hendrie - 0

The Blades midfielder admitted a charge of improper conduct relating to "his language and behaviour" towards Dean when given his marching orders after the final whistle at Wembley where Burnley triumphed 1-0.

The FA added an extra match to his suspension at a hearing this week and the 32-year-old will now miss the first four matches of the 2009/10 season.

  3. He should have been gracious in defeat . Burnley beat­ us fair and square and the referee was not an issue,­ despite all the media hype re Blackwell. I don't­ rate him at all. I wish they had banned him for the­ complete season, then we could have sold him to a­ smaller club like SWFC or Leeds,

  4. Why would a Senior Player of Hendrie's stature, an­ ex Midlands Premier Leaguer, ever think of accosting­ the FA appointed referee, unless he felt that there was­ some clearly justifiable reason for his outburst ? ­ Especially in the full knowledge of the FA bias against­ Sheffield United Football Club, as clearly illustrated­ by the ' illegel London Tevez affaire' .
