Premiership referee Dermot Gallagher will be relegated to the Nationwide Football League as punishment for not sending off Robbie Keane on Saturday, the English FA confirmed today.
The Leeds United striker reacted to David Beckham's stern tackle by flooring the Manchester United midfielder with a two-handed push, during the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
Oxfordshire official Gallagher only booked Keane and will now be hauled in to face FA referees' manager Philip Don - and will then be told the length of his suspension from the top flight.
