Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 15:01 · Archive

Chesterfield manager Paul Cook has been handed a three-match touchline ban and fined £3,000 by the Football Association after being found guilty of using abusive language towards a match official.

Cook was charged for his conduct during his side's 4-1 defeat by Newport County last month. He used abusive language towards the official during half-time and continued to do so after being given a red card. Cook admitted the charge.

The ban will apply to Chesterfield's next three matches, starting with Saturday's trip to Bristol Rovers, followed by games against Shrewsbury Town and Swindon Town.
