Jim Charged

By Aston
October 9 2007

Town manager Jim Magilton has been charged by the FA for using foul and abusive language during Town's game against Burnley.

Magilton saw Town throw away a two goal lead and have a goal ruled out for off-side during the game in which he used the foul abusive language towards referee Colin Webster.

Town manager Jim Magilton is considering appealing against the charge, saying: "I'm disappointed at the charge and will take the time to think over how to respond but asking for a personal hearing is certainly something I am considering, it was a ridiculous decision and it cost my players the reward their efforts deserved, I'm the first to admit I was annoyed but I waited the required 30 minutes before asking the referee in the confines of his room why he disallowed the goal."

Jim has until the 23rd of this month to respond to the charges, if he is found guilty he faces anything from a warning as to his future conduct or a touchline ban and fine.
