Hart has requested an FA hearing

Nottingham Forest boss Paul Hart has requested a personal hearing from the Football Association after being charged with improper conduct and using abusive and/or insulting words to match officials.

Hart has admitted improper conduct during the first division match with Reading in December.

But he has denied the second charge of using abusive and/or insulting words to match officials.

"We have received Paul Hart's response to the charges and he has requested a personal hearing," a spokesman said on the FA's website.

"Mr Hart has admitted the charge of improper conduct, but denies that of abusive language."

A date for the hearing has yet to be set.
