Paul Stansfield admits that he has learned his lesson after returning to the dugout at Knaresborough Town.

Stansfield missed the opening two games of the campaign as he was serving a stadium ban because of his dismissal at Hallam at the end of last season.

“I think I need to be more respectful to referees,” Stansfield said.

“The passion has still got to be there because it is a big part of who I am, so I am not going to change that.

“But you can’t speak to referees in a negative way. Ironically at Hallam last season, I didn’t say that much. There were probably a couple of times where i did cross the line, but not in that game.

“I thought it was harsh, but that’s the rules. I abided by them and served my time.”
