Hull have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players in Saturday 's goalless Premier League clash against Leicester . The charge appears to relate to an incident where a number of Tigers players reacted furiously to Alex Bruce being booked by referee Jon Ross for a robust but ultimately fair challenge on Riyad Mahrez . An FA statement read : 'Hull City have been charged by The FA for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion . 'The allegation relates to an incident which occurred in or around the 68th minute of their fixture against Leicester City on 14 March 2015 . 'The club has until 6pm on 23 March 2015 to respond to the charge . ' Hull City have been charged for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion . The incident came in the middle of a highly-charged period as Michael Dawson had been booked two minutes earlier for a challenge on Jamie Vardy , and Tom Huddlestone was dismissed for the visitors just four minutes after , earning his second booking for a foul on Vardy . The issue of players applying pressure to referees came to the fore last week with Chelsea being accused of being over-zealous during their Champions League clash again Paris St Germain . And following the match at the King Power Stadium , Tigers boss Steve Bruce launched a thinly-veiled attack on the Leicester players for their behaviour towards the officials . ' I 've got no problem with Huddlestone 's two yellow cards , but is every challenge now a yellow if you mis-time it ? ' he said . Alex Bruce reacted furiously to being booked by referee Jon Ross for a challenge on Riyad Mahrez . Hull City manager Steve Bruce was unhappy with the behaviour of Leicester players . 'It got a bit angry towards the end , but for me the referee booked my two centre-backs for ( fair ) challenges . 'There 's a raging debate about Chelsea in midweek and if we 're not careful ... I saw everyone surround Alex for a red card for his challenge . 'There was n't a nasty challenge in the game yet we 've had five yellow cards and a sending off . I never saw that coming . 'The reason we enjoy the Premier League is its honesty and integrity and if we 're going to go down the route of every other league - jumping around and whinging and trying to get people yellow and red cards - for me that 's not right . ' Foxes manager Nigel Pearson strongly disagreed , and when asked for a response to Bruce 's statement said : 'How many times have you seen us play this year ? 'You 're not in a position to judge my players on that . You 're asking me and I 've told you , `` No , I do n't think it 's a fair assessment '' . Full stop . '
