I'm of the opinion that Dean should be suspended for that. You can't be doing nonsense like that. Bringing the club into disrepute. Three games would suffice for me.
A 3 game ban for giving it back to the fans that have abused you all game?
Give over
Professionals have to rise above it....they are paid to
If you were sat in front of someone giving you abuse for what 15-20 minutes and then we win the game with the last kick I think emotions would get the better of you. He is a 19 year old human not a bloody robot.
If I were a professional footballer I would understand that I couldn't afford to let it get the better of me
There are lots of jobs where professional conduct in the face of unreasonable behaviour is expected. He can like all footballers report abuse to stewards
If nothing else he has indicated to all future opposing crowds he can be got to
I think this is all being massively blown out of proportion. He goaded the fans after receiving abuse (and we know this abuse wouldn't have been light-hearted). He didn't do a Cantona and kung-fu kick a fan.
It doesn't matter if you're a Premier League player on £1mil a week. Tensions run high in football at the best of times, let alone when you score a last minute winner. We've had many a player celebrate in front of us, even when we've not been giving them abuse.
