David Prutton has issued a sincere apology for his disgraceful reaction to being sent off in the draw with Arsenal on Saturday.

The Southampton midfielder was shown a second yellow card by Alan Wiley and then manhandled the referee as he vented his anger at the decision.

Prutton will be charged with misconduct by The Football Association on Monday and realises that he faces a lengthy suspension.

Yeah it was bad and he deserves what he gets to be honest. What cracks me up is in the first post it says he appears to push the referee. I watched it on TV and he pushed him loads of times

David Prutton has been hit with a ten-match ban by The Football Association for his actions against Arsenal at the weekend.

The Southampton midfielder was given a second booking by referee Alan Wiley following a late tackle on Robert Pires and this sparked a furious response from Prutton.

He attempted to remonstrate with a referee's assistant and manhandled Wiley as he intervened.

That is quite a long time, but he got what he deserved no matter how sorry he is.

The punishment should be dropped cos playing for Southampton is punishment enough.

Hahaha yeah Drunk....

Well it is awhile to be out and i guess he regrets it.

Did anyone read that its the 10th anniversay or something of Eric Cantonas kung-fu kick? The fans are thinking of wearing Cantona masks to the game at the weekend at Crystal Palace but they said anyone doing it will get arrested lol!

So they should be.

Cantona was a gr8 player but that kick was childish.

haha..i hadnt heard this,

it sounds pretty harsh if they will get arrested,

On the 5th January 1995 at Selhurst Park, post sending-off, Cantona is confronted by a laughable example of terrace trash shouting vile abuse from the apparent safety of the family stand. In an heroic gesture of the first water, Cantona reacts with a two-footed leap into the crowd, catching the villain squarely in the chest, and follows up with two or three good, solid punches. Fantastic stuff - at long long last an individual stands up against the mob mentality and gives it a good hiding. In the aftermath, of course, Justice puts on her blindfold and vanquishes the hero. On the night of the 5th January 1995, however, Eric Cantona showed the world a genuine redress ..... administered raw.

Yeah he went a bit too far with the kick but it was such along time ago now. I can't really see nothing wrong in wearing a cantona mask but they should do it for a different reason than the ku-fu-kick to remember him by...
