The City boss was sent to the stands after disputing a call from referee Phil Dowd.

"I don't see why I should be punished, but we'll wait and see," said Jones

"I was angry with the referee because I think he was the only person in the stadium that didn't think it was a penalty. He didn't make a big call."

Jones also criticised the referee to sending him to the stand to sit among the Barnsley supporters, claiming his safety was put at risk.

"To send me the stand is crazy because he's then endangering me by sending me through the crowd, who are just going to abuse me," Jones added.

"On his part I felt he got both things wrong - he should've given us a penalty and he shouldn't have sent me to the stand because all I told him was that he missed the penalty.

"I'll have to leave it in the hands of the FAW and what they decide, but he [Dowd] has got away with it at the end of the day because it's a big decision for us.

"It's the first time I've been sent to the stand in my career and hopefully it'll be the last."
