Luton boss Mike Newell faces a Football Association charge after saying: "Women have no place in the game."

Newell was unhappy that female assistant referee Amy Rayner awarded a corner rather than a goal-kick during the match against QPR and from it Dexter Blackstock scored the winner in the visitors' 3-2 victory.

"She shouldn'tbe here," said Newell of Rayner, a second year national list assistant referee. "I know it sounds sexist but I am sexist and I'm not going to be anything else. It's a token effort for the politically correct idiots."
