Paul Robinson has been charged with alleged violent conduct following the Aston Villa versus Birmingham City game on Sunday [23 April 2017].

The Blues defender was involved in an incident in or around the 68th minute which was not seen by the match officials at the time but caught on video.

He has until 6pm on 26 April 2017 to reply to the charge.

Off the ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite referees.

Each referee panel member will review the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence. For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous.
