However, St Stanislaus manager George Esteves refuted the charges and denied that the player had used abusive language. "He was shown the yellow card for no reason. He did not do anything wrong and was surprisingly shown a yellow card and as he started to walk to the sin bin all he did was question the umpire's decision and was immediately given the red card.
