Town manager Jim Magilton has been handed a fine by the FA after being charged with misconduct for talking to the referee following Town's game against Burnley earlier in the season.

Town had a late goal against Burnley ruled for an incorrect offside decision, Jim waited 30 minutes after the game to speak to the referee but was still charged with misconduct.

Magilton: "I had a fair hearing from the panel and I think they were sympathetic to the situation, it wasn't a case of appealing over the charge, I wanted a personal hearing to present the facts surrounding it and I was given the opportunity to do that.

"It was clearly a goal and would have given us three big points and given the players a big boost as well but it's in the past now and we move on."
