Birmingham have been fined ufffd10,000 by the Football Association after being found guilty of failing to control their players in last month's 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa.

The charge related an incident in the match when referee Martin Atkinson awarded a penalty against defender Roger Johnson and a number of Blues players reacted angrily.

The FA have warned Birmingham about their future conduct in addition to the fine, while Johnson was hit last week with a ufffd7,500 fine for media comments made about Atkinson's performance.
