It's so obvious the guy has a problem. He just lost control. He is a spoilt brat on the field. But there is a difference between bad behaviour ala Terry thuggery and yesterday. I'd reckon he'd be best off seeing an anger management specialist. I just cannot see what punishment would help. Its not going to deter others. Only someone out of control does that. Similarly punishment will not help him. He had a seven match ban before. I am far from being an 'understand and coddle' guy but there are some cases where it is so obvious that the problem is not behavioural but a personality problem. His 'negrito ' affair was bad behaviour. But his behavior afterwards was just bloody narcissistic, he couldn't see he was in the wrong. Now he has shown that he can completely loose it. He has to be taught how to contain himself. The ideal solution would be to demand he has say a two year therapy session in anger management, reviewable every year. If it happens again in therapy he's banned till the end of therapy. I think that would be far more effective. I see no shame in admitting that there's something wrong & treating it. It'd do more good as a message.... Awareness of anger management. In a strange way I feel sorry for him. A hell of a good player...but a very troubled guy.
