Newcastle winger Laurent Robert will find himself £40,000 out of pocket after his latest indiscretion.

The 28-year-old Frenchman incurred the wrath of his club last week by appearing to question manager Sir Bobby Robson's selection policy, and was then needlessly sent off for two bookings during a 2-2 draw at Everton.

Referee Rob Style's performance in a match which saw him issue two red cards and 10 yellows has been criticised but Robert, having already been cautioned for a foul on Steve Watson, put his neck on the block with a senseless leap at Tobias Linderoth.

The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder will be fined the maximum two weeks' wages.
