Cherries duo handed FA charge

24 April 2015 10:17

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe and his assistant Jason Tindall have both been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

The charge relates to the Sky Bet Championship fixture against Sheffield Wednesday at Dean Court last Saturday, which ended in a 2-2 draw and saw the Cherries relinquish top spot in the table.

Referee Paul Tierney reported the pair after they had both been critical of the official's display, while the FA also studied Howe's post-match comments.

Howe felt Tierney should have awarded Bournemouth a second-half penalty following a foul on striker Callum Wilson.

It is alleged Howe's post-match comments constitute improper conduct.

Tindall is accused of using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official.

Both men have until 6pm on Monday to respond to the charge.
