Recent charges brought against Joe Kinnear by the Football Association have been met with vehement denials by the Newcastle United boss.

The charges brought against Joe Kinnear by the FA are as follows:

Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear has been charged with using abusive and insulting words towards a match official.

Kinnear was sent to the stands during Newcastle’s match against Stoke City on 6 December after contesting the award of a free kick.

Chris Hughton Newcastle’s assistant manager has played down talk of Kinnear’s foul-mouthed tirade at the linesman citing that Joe may have gotten carried away by the emotion. Of course, the man himself protests his innocence, but in all fairness to the FA, Joe doesn’t really have a good track record in regards to his impeccable speech now does he?

Howay man Joe, how about cutting the officials some slack and go swear at your team for their shoddy marking for the free-kick? Now that would be emotion…
