Leeds boss Wise, ref charged

Leeds boss Dennis Wise and referee Danny McDermid have both been charged by the FA following a stormy confrontation at Elland Road last month.

Wise has been fined £5,000 and given a three-match touchline ban for using abusive and/or insulting words towards McDermid during half-time of the Whites' clash with Gillingham on September 29, the FA have confirmed.

And referee McDermid has been given the same charge after Wise claimed he used bad language towards him after the game.

The FA released a statement, which read: "At a Regulatory Commission hearing last week, Leeds United manager Dennis Wise was fined £5,000 and given a three-match touchline ban.

"Wise was charged with using abusive and/or insulting words towards referee Danny McDermid at half-time of Leeds' match against Gillingham on 29 September.

"The Commission invoked a previous suspended one-match touchline ban and issued a further two-match ban. In reaching its decision, the Commission took into account Wise's poor recent disciplinary record.

"Meanwhile, The FA has today charged referee Danny McDermid with using abusive and/or insulting words towards Wise.

"The incident is alleged to have occurred following the match against Gillingham. McDermid has until 13 November to respond to the charge."
