I have had a conversation with the referee by telephone; he is going to go home and submit a report to me overnight. At this stage I can't say any more until we get further information from the referee and look at the video.

When John finishes his current suspension, if he is serious about becoming a referee, it might give him a greater appreciation of the difficulties that go with the job.

Beyond that, as this case could finish up before the judiciary panel, I can make no comment at this stage.

The fine has been imposed because his duties don't allow him to be offering advice to the referee during the course of the game.
