Crewe assistant manager Ryan Dicker has been given a one-match touchline ban for using improper and insulting language to a match official. The 37-year-old was sent off for his protests following an incident in last weekend's 4-2 defeat at Salford City.
What happened?
Courtney Baker-Richardson had a second goal disallowed for offside and Matt Smith scored for Salford just moments later to put them 2-1 in front.
Why it matters for Crewe
Dicker admitted a Football Association charge and was also fined £250. This comes as Crewe prepare to face Tranmere Rovers at home on Saturday.
