'I'm gonna knock you out you c***!' League Two manager's outrageous rant to referees revealed

John Sheridan was handed a five-match ban for an X-rated outburst at the match officials during Notts County's 2-0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers

Ever wondered what kind of abuse English referees really face?

An extraordinary example of the insults and foul language officials field has been exposed by the publication of an incident report relating to the sending off of Notts County manager John Sheridan last month.

Sheridan, who has since been sacked by the League Two club and taken over at Oldham Athletic, was handed a five-match touchline ban for his conduct during County's 2-0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers in December.
