Kildare senior football manager Glenn Ryan is facing an eight week suspension and a two match ban for incidents surrounding the recent championship match with Monaghan.

He's been charged with bringing the game into disrepute for comments he made about the referee and for also entering the referee's room after the game.

The Round Towers man can request a hearing.
