Norwich manager Glenn Roeder and his assistant Lee Clark have pleaded guilty to Football Association charges of bringing the game into disrepute.

The FA confirmed that Roeder and Clark admitted the charges which followed the 2-1 defeat at Bristol City on March 29.

The pair confronted referee Andy D'Urso after the home side had scored a late winner from a contested free-kick.

Roeder and Clark will not be punished until the end of the season because they have asked for a personal hearing.

Both will be free to take charge from the dugout in the Canaries' final two games of the season at home to QPR and at Sheffield Wednesday.

"They have both admitted the charges and have requested personal hearings," said an FA spokesman.

"We will look to schedule these in due course but it will take some time."
