According to BBC Football, Jaissle contested the "benefit of that rule" if he was "just supporting and engaging with the team". He compared himself to some of his colleagues, suggesting that they were not booked for similar behaviour. "You can say so," Jaissle said when asked if there were other coaches who were as animated, who were not booked. The new charter on participant behaviour, introduced by the Premier League, the FA, the EFL and the Professional Game Referees in 2023, specifies that occupants must remain within their technical area during the match.
