Absolutely appalling. What an example to set. So why, four hours later . am still grinning every time it gets mentioned !
Reminds me of that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when that big bar steward tries to intimidate Indie with his machete skills and he just shoots him - fowl play son ? I'll show you fowl play !
Ay? Were there chickens involved?

Clarify what you mean by 'off'
He'll still be expected to train (including Xmas day) and will still be expected to be at the ground on Boxing Day (he may be allowed not to travel to Southend, as will the other non-participating players I'm sure).
Given PC's seeming stance on discipline, I think it safe to assume he'll be fined too (and rightly so).

Hope so. He should be made to travel and attend .Even if he was being fouled it was a ridiculous thing to do. I know he,s probably a bit frustrated at the moment (and rightly so), but that was a lack of discipline that was inexcusable.

I half expected the ref to bang the canvas/pitch 3 times and count their player out.

Missed it yesterday as I was busy texting my friend.
Just watched it on iPlayer and your spot on. A bit of over acting and IMO a harsh red.

Agree with that; Jack was daft to make it so obvious - he's usually more subtle. The Burton players were throwing themselves down at the slightest touch all afternoon, and the ref was repeatedly conned. A sensible, competent ref would have given him a yellow and a good ticking off.
