KARL Robinson will serve a touchline ban for Oxford United's clash with Rotherham United this weekend.

The head coach has been hit with a one-game suspension and fined £4,000 after a breach in the rules was found proven by an independent Regulatory Commission.

Robinson, at a hearing on Monday, denied his behaviour and/or language towards an official after the goalless draw with Shrewsbury Town last month was threatening and/or abusive and/or insulting and/or improper.

But the panel found the charge proven on the basis that the U's boss's conduct was insulting and improper.
