Karl Robinson: Salford City boss charged for abusive and insulting words to match official
- Published
Karl Robinson was fined £500 earlier this season having been sent off during his first game in charge of Salford City
Salford City boss Karl Robinson has been charged by the FA for using abusive and or insulting words towards a match official.
Robinson's charge comes after the Ammies' 1-0 League Two defeat away at AFC Wimbledon on 6 April.
In a bad-tempered game, Salford finished with nine players after Elliot Watt and Theo Vassell's late red cards.
Seven Salford players were also given yellow cards during the defeat - which was their third in succession.
the FA said it was alleged that "following the completion of the fixture, on two separate occasions in or around the match officials' changing rooms, [Robinson] acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words or behaviour towards a match official"
"What you saw at the end was the most shambolic refereeing I've seen in probably 10 years," Robinson told Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Manchester following the defeat.
"I can't wait to see him [referee Ben Atkinson]. I'm going to question him an awful lot of who he is because some things got said before the game, which I can't say as I don't want to get myself in trouble, but things were said before the game that referees should not say.
"I will be reporting it. I will be asking why it was allowed to happen."
Robinson, who has until Monday, 15 April to respond to the charge, was previously sent off in his first game in charge of Salford earlier this season.
