BARROW manager Pete Wild has been hit with a one-game touchline ban and fine following his red card against Colchester United, last weekend.
Wild, 39, was sent off by referee Declan Bourne shortly after the half-time whistle during his side's 4-1 victory over the U's, at the JobServe Community Stadium.

The former Oldham Athletic and FC Halifax boss was angered by an incident in the final seconds of the first half when Barrow were denied a penalty after Robbie Gotts tumbled in the area under Zach Mitchell’s challenge.
Gotts was eventually stretchered off and Wild made his feelings clear to the officials as they walked off, resulting in him receiving a red card.
