The Midland team decided to report Arnold after an act of retaliation by the Fylde man in a match last month.

Arnold retaliated physically after believing he had been elbowed by a Coventry opponent.

The Fylde player-coach accepted that he had acted rashly and apologised profusely to Coventry, pointing out that it was out of character and that he had never been sent off in a 400-match career.

Arnold missed the defeat at Blaydon on Saturday as he was banned by the club internally pending the outcome of a disciplinary hearing.

He misses Saturday’s clash at the Woodlands with Ampthill and District, but is available after that.
