Keane denies FA charge
1:28pm Thursday 20th November 2008
Sunderland manager Roy Keane has denied a Football Association charge of improper conduct.
The charge relates to his behaviour towards referee Martin Atkinson in their 5-0 defeat at Chelsea earlier this month.
Keane was sent to the stands for the second half after confronting Atkinson in the tunnel at half-time at Stamford Bridge.
Keane was unhappy with Atkinson's performance, and revealed the referees assessor had rung him after the match acknowledging two of Chelseas goals should not have stood.
Keane has requested a personal hearing, with a date yet to be fixed.
Sunderland have recalled winger Carlos Edwards from his loan spell with Wolves - who were keen to extend his stay.
