Sworn at: Leeds manager Dennis Wise

Wise has been fined £5,000 and given a three-match touchline ban for using abusive and/or insulting words towards McDermid during half-time at the same game, the FA confirmed today.

The FA released a statement, which read: "At a Regulatory Commission hearing last week, Leeds United manager Dennis Wise was fined £5,000 and given a three-match touchline ban.

"Wise was charged with using abusive and/or insulting words towards referee Danny McDermid at half-time of Leeds' match against Gillingham on 29 September.

"The Commission invoked a previous suspended one-match touchline ban and issued a further two-match ban. In reaching its decision, the Commission took into account Wise's poor recent disciplinary record.

"Meanwhile, The FA has today charged referee Danny McDermid with using abusive and/or insulting words towards Wise.

"The incident is alleged to have occurred following the match against Gillingham. McDermid has until 13 November to respond to the charge."
