The former Manchester United star was seen on camera verbally abusing the assistant referee as he left the pitch as he had alerted official Dermot Gallagher to Butt's kick on Dario Silva. The 30-year-old has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge and his case will be heard on Tuesday September 27.
I saw the incident on Saturday and it did look as though Butt did lash out at Dario Silva and he did warrent a red card, but Silva did back into him and he was booked. I personally don't think should appeal against the decision because that could lead to an even bigger fine.
