craig 5,199 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Don't think so. Really ? Makes sense, but still surprises me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,612 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm sure he's only banned from the dugout. They can't stop him going into the dressing room. Rangers manager Walter Smith has been suspended from the touchline for four games after being sent to the stand against Kilmarnock on Saturday. His dugout ban will kick in from 3 October, which means he will be in the stand for the Old Firm encounter against Celtic the following day. Smith is not likely to appeal against the decision by the Scottish FA. He was sent to the stand after reacting angrily when a red card was shown to Rangers midfielder Pedro Mendes. Smith confronted Kilmarnock striker Connor Sammon, who he believed had been encouraging the referee to send off the Rangers player. Sammon insisted that he had actually been appealing for the official to play advantage. The Rangers manager later admitted that he should not have reacted the way he did and told BBC Scotland he was unlikely to appeal against any punishment decided by the SFA disciplinary committee. Smith was banned for four games because it is his second report of misconduct within three seasons. It means that he will have to sit in the stand for the reigning champions' first derby of the season against the current Scottish Premier League leaders. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I believe BD to be correct. Though I can't remember the difference between this and the infamous Jose Mourinho in the washing hamper incident. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
