West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Mowbray has been charged with improper conduct for his post-game confrontation with referee Nigel Miller, who allowed a late equalizer by Sheffield Wednesday.
Mowbray was furious that Miller played six minutes of injury time and didn't disallow the Owls' 96th-minute equalizer for a foul.
"For me it's a blatant foul and the fourth official is telling me that time is finished," Mowbray said after the game finished 1-1. "Our game has got the best referees in the world but tonight is very hard to take, there were some strange decisions."
Although West Brom climbed into second place in the League Championship standings, a victory would have meant moving two points clear of third place Bristol City and within six of leader Watford. Instead, it is level on points with City and eight behind Watford.
The Football Association has charged Mowbray with improper conduct and using abusive and insulting words toward Miller.
Last season, Mowbray's team lost to Derby in the promotion playoffs.
