Question Number: 23063

League Specific 4/4/2010

RE: division 1 Under 15

peter munro of rayleigh, essex england asks...

What are the penalties for a player and the opposing teams manager receiving a red card in a league match?

Answer provided by Referee Dennis Wickham

The minimum is a one match suspension for players and substitutes sent off during the match.

Individual leagues, however, can and often do impose additional sanctions where the misconduct involves violence, abusive language and gestures, or for repeat offenders. The league may have a disciplinary code that identifies the procedure for coaches and team officials, and for imposing additional sanctions for serious misconduct.

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Peter
It is more likely that the player will receive a minimum of one game suspension with a greater suspension for VC, SFP etc while the manager may simply be warned about future conduct. If the manager has already been warned he may receive a touch line ban or indeed a stadium ban.
It is really a matter for the disciplinary committee of the League who will implement the recommended suspension for the offences.
