If banned, Monk would be prohibited from his dug-out when Neil Warnock takes his Cardiff troops to Elland Road at the weekend.

Garry Monk could be handed a Football Association charge after his touchline confrontation with Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner..

The flare-up, which happened towards the end of Sunday's Yorkshire derby, came after Wagner celebrated his team's late winner.

Both clubs could be in trouble for failing to control their players, according to The Sun.

Monk appeared to nudge Wagner as the German ran back to his dug-out, causing a mass brawl when players and officials piled in.

The former Swansea boss denied any wrongdoing, but there is a possibility he could be banned from the Elland Road dug-out for the visit of Cardiff City on Saturday.

Monk, who accused Wagner of showing a lack of class , said: “I can only speak for myself but my world and the world I was brought up in, you have to show humility and respect and a little bit of class.

“When I don’t see that, I take it upon myself to put that right.

“I hold those values dear, I live by my values, and I expect my players to uphold those values, too.

“When I see that against us, it’s not a good thing. If someone else doesn’t show that, it doesn’t mean you have to accept it.

“My technical area is my technical area and if someone runs across it and into you or something what can you do? I can only speak about the values I have in my life.

“And as for an FA charge, no, I don’t think so. I don’t feel we were the ones behaving badly. You’ll have to ask them about their values and what they were fighting for."

According to Yorkshire Post reporter Phil Hay , the FA will receive a report from the referee today (Monday) and make a decision this week.

If banned, Monk would be prohibited from his dug-out when Neil Warnock takes his Cardiff troops to Elland Road at the weekend.

“My technical area is my technical area and if someone runs across it and into you or something what can you do?"
How stupid is he? the other manager did not run across his tech area he was running on the pitch, and that sly prick Monk, walked on to the pitch and barged into him. When you tell lies make sure that there are no cameras about, which nowadays is highly unlikely, Jack B*****d

Wagner should get long ban as he caused the problem in 1st place absolutely ridiculous running onto pitch like that! It's getting prevelant now with conte being main culprit ,tech areas were installed to stop trouble with managers and trainers, whilst monk did bump into wagner who did walk across monks area! if he hadn't left tech area it would not have happened !!!

Indeed.

If we put aside any hatred we might have for Monk being a Jack for one moment - Wagner acted like a complete cock, running onto the pitch like that, celebrating on the pitch and then playing up to the home fans in the stand ... who can blame Monk for being pissed off with that?

He (Wagner) should be looking at a 2 game ban at least and Monk a warning to his future conduct.

I tend to disagree, it was a derby game so tensions flaring, Huddersfield have just bagged a winning goal against their scum neighbours and Wagner in turn with passion decided to race down to celebrate with his team and home fans, then on the way back he was barged by Monk, he wasn't goarding the away fans because they were located at opposite end of stadium, Wagner was loving a massive win and should be honoured for what he did - Legend springs to mind

Imagine Warnock doing the same against the Jacks in a fiercely close battle, we would be sending him for a knighthood.

Exactly

So what's point of tech area when you are saying it's ok to run anywhere you like regardless of consequences? Several players were booked and could been sent off about 20 people involved in dust up? Like said tech areas are there to stop such things happening because of previous problems!

Gary Monk takes 3 steps out of his technical area to bump into Wagner. Monk is as much at fault, if he had stayed in his technical area Wagner would have returned to his and the big bust up wouldn't have happened.

It's monk that seeked out Wagner to bump him he is as much as at fault.

Alan where in the video did wagner go anywhere near Monks tech area? ffs the guy was running about 3 feet on the pitch when Monk walked onto the pitch and deliberately blocked him.
and even if he did go across the tech area ( which the video show he did not), the game was over so all this bull about tech areas does not apply

I don't like Monk but he is doing a good job at Leeds. Would'nt be a bad thing for us if he is banned from the touchline, I think we will need all the help we can get this weekend. I'm afraid Leeds are not a guaranteed six points a season for us right now.

Watched game on sky monk took 3 steps before got to wagner so he was in close proximity to him when wagner shouldn't have been and that is the whole point? And what are tech areas for in your opinion if irrelevant?? Also in your opinion it's okay for managers to run anywhere they like because that's what wagner did and because of that he did cause the aggro that followed

Allan the point is monk left his technical area looking to make contact with Wagner, Wagner celebrated a goal with his players. Monk is at fault.

Give it a rest Alan. Who are you the technical area police?

He left the area to celebrate a goal big f*cking deal. Lock him up and throw away the key!!!

Football is an emotional sport and it's great to see players and managers showing passion. I remember Barry Fry running the length of the touchline high fiving the fans at Birmingham. What a character!!! Players are not allowed to leave the field of play when they score but as long they don't go diving into the crowd the refs apply common sense.

If you want to be pedantic BOTH broke the rules and stepped outside of their area.

Monk being a dick in my eyes. Sore loser.

Did he leave his area didn't see him go outside just walk towards wanger? Anyway monk was wrong and wagner didn't do anything wrong And tech area is for show? everyone happy now??

Monk didn't mourn when Brendan Rogers ran down the touch line when they scored there winner against notts forest in the the second leg of there play off semi final at the Liberty and there manager never bumped into Rogers either

So all of a sudden gary monk got values and he's been brought up in the right way what values are they .oh I know he didn't show any values when he was stirring up the shit about Cardiff City with his hooligans mates down in swansea and at Ms with there flag where was his values then .i often thought perhaps mangers shouldn't do it but at the of the day it happens at all levels of football sometimes when you get a winner like that the emotion can take you and it's a great feeling when you score a winner in a big game like that they must have been bouncing after the game how many times have we felt like that .gary monk should grow up and take it like a man gary monk yes you are doing a good job at leeds but I still don't like you

Let's hope he isn't banned. Warnock thrives on the niggles on the touchline between managers.

If your asking whether monk left his technical area then I'm wondering if you even saw it.

Allen is like Arsene Wenger he only sees the things he wants to see.

Monk clearly instigated that fracas

Monk is a complete gobshite and utter hypocrite.

Who remembers him celebrating when the jbs beat us in his first game in charge? It was like theyd won the world cup and champions league rolled into one.

He walked into wagners path in a strop because Leeds had lost.

Nancy boy manager like most of the modern players.Push ,shove finger pointing and the occasional gentle head to head.Hunter and Lee must be p***ing themselves.

I can only speak for myself but in my world and the world I was brought up in (Splott), you have to show humility and respect and a little bit of class. When I don’t see that, I take it upon myself to put that right.
I hold those values dear, I live by my values, and I expect football managers to uphold those values, too.
I would ban them both for 4 games.
