Charlton manager Lee Bowyer has been charged with misconduct following a recent fixture against Peterborough.

It was alleged his behaviour on the field of play was deemed to be improper.

Peterborough won the game after being awarded and scoring a late penalty, which prompted Bowyer to clash with opposition manager Steve Evans before later unleashing a tirade at referee James Linnington.

Bowyer said of Linnington: "He shouldn't be reffing. He shouldn't be able to ref the next game. He just made a decision there and said the fella got pushed. The fella tried to dive to head the ball. There was no push - they were side by side.

"There is going to be a contact. But is it a penalty? No. Anyone who has played the game knows it's not a penalty. That's my thoughts. It's an absolute disgrace how he can make that decision.

"Is it acceptable? No. Am I probably going to get into trouble? Yeah. But should he get in trouble? Yeah."
