Nottingham Forest: Steven Reid guilty of expletive-laden abuse of referee Paul Tierney

Nottingham Forest first-team coach Steven Reid has been given an extended two-match touchline ban and fined £5,000 after being found guilty of misconduct by the Football Association.

Reid confronted referee Paul Tierney following Forest's defeat by Liverpool earlier this month.

It was found he had used an expletive phrase towards Tierney on more than three occasions.

Forest have also been fined £75,000 for their part in the incident.

The Premier League side were punished for failing to ensure their players and technical staff "did not behave in an improper way after the final whistle".
