Football Federation Australia has punished yet another A-League manager for speaking out against referees, fining Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic $3000.FFA found Popovic guilty of breaching the bodys National Code of Conduct after he took aim at referee Jarred Gillett over a missed penalty in his sides round-six 3-0 loss to Melbourne Victory.Gillett decided against awarding a penalty to the Wanderers when Jason Geria crudely tackled Jumpei Kasakumi in the box.Replays showed the young fullback missed the ball and fouled the Japanese attacker, an error A-League boss Greg ORourke named on Monday as one of 11 recorded from this seasons opening six rounds.If thats not a penalty, they should book him for diving, Popovic said post-match on Fox Sports.The Wanderers boss also made pointed reference to the clubs record with Gillett in the middle - just one win in 11 games - suggesting maybe its just a coincidence.ORourke reiterated it was vital all players and coaches consider their words carefully when offering their thoughts.Any comments direct or implied that reflect on the integrity of a referee are unacceptable and will be acted upon in line with our code of conduct, ORourke said.Respect towards match officials is not a nice to have, it is a fundamental of our game required at every level.Popovic is the fourth manager to earn FFAs ire for outbursts less than a third of the way through a season making headlines for contentious refereeing decisions.Adelaide coach Guillermo Amor on Monday copped a one-game touchline ban and must now face a tribunal to decide whether his punishment is increased after he was sent to the stands during Fridays 3-1 loss to Glory.Perth coach Kenny Lowe (two-match ban) and Victory coach Kevin Muscat ($5000 fine) have also found themselves in hot water.It comes a day after ORourke mounted a fierce defence of the leagues adjudicators in response to a weekend embroiled in controversy that saw managers relationship with officials reach boiling point.ORourke declared the standard of officiating the best the competition has seen, using FFA statistics showing that up until round six there were 11 errors recorded - an improvement on previous years.He intends to open dialogue with clubs to re-set the expectations of frustrated coaches.Popovic has seven business days to appeal.

Ultra Boost Rea Dam . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Tyler Eifert lined up here, there and just about everywhere during his first practice with the Cincinnati Bengals. Felt like old times. The Bengals got started on their new tight end-heavy passing game Friday at the start of a weekend rookie minicamp. A lot of the focus was on Eifert, chosen in the first round to give quarterback Andy Dalton another target. Eifert lined up in a lot of different spots at Notre Dame. Judging by the first day of practice in Cincinnati, hes going to be doing the same thing in the NFL. "A lot of the things Im learning are a lot of the same plays we had in with two tight ends -- move me around in different positions," Eifert said. "Today I was out in the slot quite a bit. I think Im picking it up pretty fast." With Dalton watching from the sideline, Eifert made a nice one-hand catch during the morning workout, a preview of what he can bring to an offence thats been overly dependent upon receiver A.J. Green. The Bengals havent added another proven receiver in the off-season. Rather, they took Eifert with the 21st overall pick, figuring his ability to catch the ball in a crowd -- he set a Notre Dame recover for catches by a tight end -- will give them some versatility and force defences to worry about someone other than Green. Eifert lined up as a tight end on either side and also as a slot receiver during practice. The biggest challenge was learning the Bengals language for each play and the pass protections. "I think I picked it up better than I thought I would at first," Eifert said. "Its not a whole lot, but its definitely something new for me. Im catching on pretty quickly and moving around quite a bit." The Bengals would like to use him along with tight end Jermaine Gresham, their first overall pick in 2010. The New England Patriots have shown that a two-tight end approach can keep defences off balance, provided that both can catch the ball. Neww Englands Tom Brady set career highs in yards passing and touchdowns in 2011, using his tight ends generously.ddddddddddddDefences had trouble handling both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in the two-tight end approach. Gronkowski had 90 catches for 1,327 yards that season. Hernandez had 79 for 910. "You look at that year, and a lot of people dont realize that Tom had his best statistical season ever in history," said running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who was with New England then. "We threw the ball numerous times. We ran the ball three to five times a game. "Of course, thats not what you want to do when youre a running back. But we were winning games. It was a shock to the league that year. It can actually be a great thing when you have two guys who can catch the ball. It takes a lot of pressure off what you can do because you had to prepare for all those guys." Dalton thinks that having two tight ends who can catch the ball will make defences vulnerable somewhere. Dalton wasnt allowed to work out with the rookies during minicamp. He left the field as the morning workout was wrapping up. "You get the matchup of the tight ends on the linebackers and safeties," Dalton said recently. "So I think hes going to be a great addition. Hes going to make Jermaine a better player. Im excited to get him in here and get working with him." ------ NOTES: The Bengals signed seventh-round picks OT Reid Fragel from Ohio State and centre T.J. Johnson from South Carolina, the first of their draft picks to agree to contracts. ... LB J.K. Schaffer, who was signed to the practice squad last season, participated in the workouts. "I was on the practice squad last year and I just never got that many quality reps with the actual calls and making adjustments," Schaffer said. "I think its a real good opportunity for me to get back myself rolling and get back into some football." ' ' '
