“Both clubs and Victor Manas accepted the charges, but Jason Tindall denied the charges against him. “
The Regulatory Commission has fined Aston Villa £30,000 and a warning, Newcastle United £20,000 and a warning, and has banned Victor Manas. From the touchline for two matches and fined him £4,000. “The Regulatory Commission
finds that the charges against Jason Tindall are insufficiently substantiated and he will not be prosecuted further.”
The referee on the day was Anthony Taylor, and he was quoted as saying in his report: “I must report that as a referee I dismissed Jason Tindall of Newcastle United under Rule 12, category: Physical or aggressive behaviour (including biting and spitting).” “
At half-time, when I arrived in the dressing room I was advised by fourth official Leigh Doughty that a confrontation had taken place in the tunnel area involving Victor Manas (Aston Villa’s head of analysis) who was shouting abusive language towards Tindall, which then escalated to a violent argument. “
This incident saw around 20 players and officials confront each other again and I was also advised that Tindall had been excluded from further involvement.”
He added: “I have been advised that Aston Villa’s head of analysis Victor Manas had initiated the incident by shouting abusive language towards Newcastle’s assistant manager Tindall. “
Manas further began shouting at me as I was walking through the tunnel area, disagreeing with the red card the Aston Villa player had received but did not verbally abuse me in any way. “However, after Manas was
invited into my dressing room, he was advised that he would be charged for his actions.”
