Van Egmond ran on to the pitch at the final whistle to confront officials and Adrian Trinidad after the Glory star won his side a late penalty to tie the game 2-2 with the Jets.

Today the FFA confirmed they were taking further action against the Jets coach.

A statement tonight said: "Football Federation Australia has written to Newcastle Jets alleging that the actions of Gary van Egmond at the completion of the match between Perth Glory and Newcastle Jets yesterday constitute a breach of clause 2.1 of the National Code of Conduct.

"FFA alleges that the actions of the Coach constitute examples of bringing the game into Disrepute as outlined in clauses 2.2(c), 2.2(f) and 2.2(k) in the National Code of Conduct."

The statement added: "The club and van Egmond have an opportunity to provide submissions to FFA in relation to the allegations and, if van Egmond is found guilty of a breach of the National Code of Conduct, the appropriate penalty, if any.

"FFA will issue a further statement after the club's and van Egmond's submissions have been considered. This is not likely to be before 12 November 2008."

Newcastle Jets tonight added: "The club will now assess its position with regard to this notification and will respond to FFA within the next 48-hours.

"Until this submission has been made, and subsequently considered by FFA, the club and Mr. Van Egmond will make no further comment."

The FFA refused to answer queries about any sanctions against Sydney FC coach John Kosmina who had a full-time flare-up with Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert before giving tetchy media interviews.
