NEWCASTLE UNITED's COACH GETS 2 MATCH 'TOUCHLINE' BAN FOR PUSHING LINES MAN...LAST YEAR MAN U'S FERGUSON GOT 5 MATCH BAN FOR COMPLAINING...BTW FERGY'S FROM SCOTLAND!

Alan Pardew pushes the lines man
The official statement read: 

"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission held today (Monday 3 September 2012), Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has been given a two match touchline suspension and fined £20,000 after he accepted an FA charge of improper conduct."

When Newcastle hosted Tottenham in their 2-1 win Alan Pardew, the Toons' coach pushed Kirkup one of the lines men and Pardew was immediately contrited after he shoved Kirkup for missing what he believed to be a throw-in to Newcastle  at the Sport Direct Arena.
Spurs’ Aaron Lennon went on to have a shot at goal as play continued, prompting Pardew’s impulsive reaction.
Referee Martin Atkinson missed the incident but sent Pardew to the stands after being alerted by fourth official Lee Mason, who was stood behind Kirkup and Pardew at the time before briefly stepping in to separate the two.
Though Pardew shook Mason’s hand before heading for the director’s box for the remaining 20 minutes of the match and apologised to Kirkup after the game, but the FA had to act upon Atknison’s match report.
It would be recalled that man U's coach was handed a five match ban for calling match official unfair last year...does this have anything to do with him not being Scottish?
