David Moyes requests personal FA hearing
EVERTON manager David Moyes has admitted an FA charge of improper conduct.
The Goodison Park chief was charged by the FA for his reaction to a decision by referee Alan Wiley in the 3-2 victory over Stoke at the Britannia Stadium earlier this month.
Moyes had until Thursday to reply to the charge and although he has admitted the charge of improper conduct he has requested a personal hearing with the FA disciplinary panel.
No date for the hearing has yet been set.
The decision which infuriated the manager involved a penalty claim when Leon Cort handled the ball inside the box.
Referee Wiley pointed to the penalty spot but then changed his decision after consultation with his assistant, instead awarding a free-kick on the edge of the area.
Moyes complained to the fourth official, insisting that the wrong decision had been made but insists he did not swear.
He was sent to the stands and spent the rest of the game watching among the Stoke City supporters.
Meanwhile, Tim Cahill will miss Everton's Premier League games against Newcastle United (h), Arsenal (a) and Manchester United (h) if the appeal against his red card in Saturday's 2-0 derby defeat to Liverpool is not accepted.
