KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Jan Molby is being reported to the Football Association after the referee banned him from the dug-out for the second-half of yesterday's 4-2 Nationwide League Division Three defeat against Cardiff City at Aggborough.

Molby was forced to sit in the stand for the second period after an alleged exchange of words during the interval.

Lancashire-based referee Phil Richards said: "Mr Molby made a comment to my fourth official on the way off the field which was foul and abusive. As a result of that I told Mr Molby that he was no longer able to stay in the dug-out for the second half and that I will be reporting him to the FA for his comments."

Two goals from Harriers striker Drewe Broughton failed to stop Cardiff from hitting back from being a goal down to move into second place in the table.
