The Tigers boss was not happy at being banned from the dugout

Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior has vented his frustration at the FA after being banned from the touchline during the Tigers’ thrilling 3-2 win at Coventry City on Wednesday night.

Rosenior was forced to watch the game from the stands at the CBS Arena after picking up a third booking of the season at Watford on Saturday, though he says that caution shouldn’t have been issued, according to the report the club have received.

The City boss watched as his side were twice pegged back by a spirited Sky Blues outfit after Jaden Philogene and Fabio Carvalho’s penalty had seen his men lead, but Noah Ohio stepped off the bench to score the winner 12 minutes from time.

Not only was Rosenior annoyed by the decision to make him watch from the stands, but he was also frustrated with the performance of referee Leigh Doughty, a view shared by his opposite number Mark Robins.

The Coventry chief felt the foul on Liam Delap which led to Carvalho’s penalty was outside the box, while Rosenior disputed the award of the free-kick for Kasey Palmer’s equaliser, before the ball went out of play in the build-up to Bobby Thomas’ leveller.

Rosenior’s ire at the FA and PGMOL was apparent after the game when he explained his enforced absence to Hull Live.

“I got booked on Saturday which was my third booking of the season,” he explained. “We got a report through from the referees association saying I shouldn’t have been booked, but I can’t appeal it, so I didn’t get to stand on the touchline with my team.Mark Robins: Coventry City's low-profile 'firefighter' aiming for Premier League return - BBC Sport

“It’s a new precedent, this rule. I understand the rule for the behaviour in a technical area for managers. The precedent set by the FA is if a player has been booked, you can’t appeal it, they’ve just added that to managers.

“I’ve missed out on standing on a touchline with my team when we could have been ruled out for everything we work for. I’m not speaking out of turn, I’m not happy, to say the least about having to sit up in a stand and not be there with my team and not affect the game for, basically a lack of common sense.
