Will Dillon have to sit in the stands on Sunday

[Royal Lady]

as he was sent off? If so, will this see Steve Coppell watching the game from the dug out for the first time?

[The Surgeon of Crowthorne]

The FA press release didn't say anything about a ban just "reminded them of their responsibilities" whatever that means.

Club Officials cannot be sent off, they can only be sent away from the vicinity of the field of play, i.e. the dugouts.

Only players, substitutes and substituted players can be sent off.

HTH.

[Royal Lady]

I thought Managers had been sent off before and had to sit in the stands?

Except that Dillon is not a manager.

[Royal Lady]

Except he is a club official.

I refer you to my above post.

[Royal Lady]

So Warnock has never been sent off and forced to sit in the stands then? I could have sworn he had. Oh well. My mistake.

[SpaceCruiser]

Was Dillon really sent off? I thought it was just the Chelsea bloke.

Yes but only after a disciplinary hearing. The FA have already had one and just 'reminded' Dillon of his reponsibilities, so that is the end of it

Um. he's not disagreeing with you about managers having to sit in the stands.

[Uke]

He won't be able to get a ticket and if he does it'll be in a corner

Indeed. Merely clearing up managers cannot be 'sent off' but they are advised away from the vicinity of the field of play!

Assistant manager Paul Brush was sent from the dug-out

You are right, but it would help to read the whole piece without getting excited.

Sent to the stands then.

Remember Lawrie Sanchez viewing on a TV monitor Roy Essandoh scoring a memorable winner for Wycombe in the bowels of Filbert Street, Leicester in a FA Cup match in 2000?
Sanchez was asked to leave the dug-out.
