GLENN Roeder has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute by the Football Association, following his 'dismissal' in the later stages of Burnley's home game against Walsall.
The Turf Moor assistant manager was banished from the dugout by referee Eddie Lomas, after he had protested to a linesman about Walsall's controversial goal.
Burnley claimed that keeper Marlon Beresford had been fouled in the build-up to the goal and Roeder confronted the linesman only to be ordered to watch the remaining minutes of the game from the stand.
The FA confirmed they had received the referee's report and said the Turf Moor number two had 14 days to reply to the charge.
Roeder also complained bitterly about referee John Brandwood's handling of the game at Blackpool last Saturday and he spent 10 minutes with the match officials after the game, seeking an explanation about certain incidents.
As yet, the FA have not received any report from that referee.
