Reading boss Ruben Selles has received a £1,000 fine from the Football Association for his sending off at Lincoln City earlier in the month.
With 20 minutes to go, the Spaniard slowed the game down by kicking the ball up the touchline before the Imps were due to take a throw-in.
Given a straight red card by referee Bobby Madley, the Royals drew 1-1 at Sincil Bank in a match they dominated.

The FA have now confirmed that the boss breached rule E3.1 and has since been fined £1,000.
The disciplinary panel added: "The manager admitted that his behaviour in the 68th minute, which led to his dismissal, was improper, and accepted the standard penalty."
