Despite the incorrect decision, as the red card came from two yellows, the club were unable to appeal against the ban handed to Irish international Kilbane.

When answering the charges today, the Latics pleaded guilty to the charges of "failing to ensure that their players and officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."

A club spokesman said this morning: "We confirm and acknowledge the punishment but do not wish to make any further comment."
