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. The ban will start on Friday 9 November. 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.
