That's a given. By different, I meant it would be more serious in the ref's eyes than just stepping outside his area.Not being pedantic, but by going onto the pitch he must have left his technical area.
I also think the ref sent him off not for that but something else. He may have told Nuno it was for coming on the pitch but likely was for being too aggressive.
I wish refs would just let managers get on with it though. There's no need to keep sending them to the stands. Managers are going to get passionate as their jobs are on the line. Refs can't relate to this as they are protected to the hilt and very rarely get demoted or worse.
There was no need to send Parkinson and Nuno off earlier in the season just for a bit of handbags and finger pointing. Same with Warnock because he questions the ref's decisions and gets angry about it.
