Martinez Charged With Improper Conduct



The FA have charged Wigan boss Roberto Martinez with improper conduct after comments about referee Stuart Attwell.

Martinez accused the referee of “lying” following the sending off of Wigan's Gary Caldwell for a challenge on Carlos Tevez.

Martinez defended Caldwell's challenge, saying :

“Gary said he went in really strong and got the ball. Carlos Tevez saw it and jumped off the ground, he is the one who left both feet.”

“We are all human beings and we all make mistakes but to give a decision after something you don't see, that is lying. You are making it up. That is hard to take.”

Martinez has until April 22nd to respond to the charge.
