Head coach of Hull City Liam Rosenior has taken to Twitter to express his annoyance at the Football Association (FA) following his ban from the touchline during Wednesday night’s exciting 3-2 victory over Coventry City.
After receiving his third booking of the season at Watford on Saturday, Rosenior was compelled to watch the game from the stands at the CBS Arena. However, he believes that the caution shouldn’t have been given, based on the information the club has received.
The City boss watched as his team was twice pulled back by a determined Sky Blues team after their advantage was established by penalties from Jaden Philogene and Fabio Carvalho. However, Noah Ohio scored the game-winning goal 12 minutes from the end after coming off the bench.

Rosenior was not only irritated about being forced to watch from the stands, but he was also dissatisfied with referee Leigh Doughty’s performance, a sentiment that his opponent Mark Robins apparently shared.
While Rosenior contested the call for the free kick that led to Kasey Palmer’s equalizer, which came just before the ball went out of play in the build-up to Bobby Thomas’s equalizer, the Coventry chief felt that Liam Delap’s foul, which resulted in Carvalho’s penalty, was outside the box.
When Rosenior told Hull Live about his forced absence following the match, it was clear that he was furious with the FA and PGMOL.
“I got booked on Saturday which was my third booking of the season,” he said. “The referees organization sent us a report stating that I shouldn’t have been booked, but I am unable to challenge it. As a result, I was unable to stand on the touchline with my squad.
This rule sets a new precedent. I am aware of the guidelines for managers’ behavior in a technical sector. The FA has set a precedent by stating that a player cannot appeal a booking; they have just informed managers of this.
“With my team, I never got the chance to stand on a touchline and be disqualified from everything we strived for. Not to talk out of turn, but I’m not thrilled at all about having to sit up in a stand, miss out on my team, and basically not be able to influence the outcome of the game because of, well, a lack of common sense.
“There’s no appeals process. I receive a report stating that it was prudent not to book you, but it is not prudent for me to step out on the touchline with my team, and that is without me discussing anything that transpired based on what I witnessed (during the match against Coventry).
“In the second half, we ought to have received another penalty. Their second goal is made, and the ball is out of play due to numerous (decisions).
The initial objective. For the hundredth time this season, Liam Delap is pummeled to the ground and is not awarded a free kick. Kasey Palmer then places it in the upper corner. That’s not a free pass, so we can talk about the choices we made all we want, but ultimately, I wasn’t satisfied with what I witnessed.”
