Brentford's goalkeeping coach & Forest's ground staff have been handed a ban.

`Nottingham Forest groundsman Ewan Hunter and Brentford's goalkeeping coach Manu Sotelo has been banned and fined by the Football Association following their pre-match altercation in November.

Hunter and Sotelo had an argument ahead of the 2-2 Premier League draw which centered on the length of time clubs are allowed to use the penalty area during their warm-up.

Ewan Hunter denied that his behavior was improper and/or violent, but an independent Regulatory Commission found the charge against him to be proven, and it imposed a two-match stadium ban and £700 fine.

Meanwhile, Manu Sotelo accepted that his behavior was improper, and the independent Regulatory Commission imposed a one-match touchline ban and £2,000 fine.
