Bristol Manor Farm manager Lee Lashenko has been given an eight-match ground ban followed by a four-match touchline ban following an incident last October in which he was filmed charging towards referee Richard Lawrence.
In footage widely shared and condemned on social media, Lashenko was videoed shouting obscenities at Lawrence in the wake of Manor Farm's 2-1 defeat to Paulton Rovers in the FA Trophy, and charging towards the match official before he was held back by players and staff.
Lashenko was charged with two breaches of FA Rule E3 but has continued to be in the dugout for Manor Farm due to an ongoing disciplinary process, as while he admitted his language was abusive he denied his behaviour had been threatening.
