Tempers flare after Bristol City’s goal which came after they refused to put the ball out of play when a City player was on the floor injured.
Although it would be best if such incidents didn’t happen, I was struck by how this incident and the way all of our outfield players ran to congratulate Sol Bamba after the second goal that this was a sign of a new team spirit – I believe the Paul Trollope team would have just trooped back to the centre spot with heads down if the same goal had been scored against them.
On the right of the picture is scorer Lee Tomlin, who, having twice dived to try and earn a penalty and then get Peter Whittingham booked, then head butted Rickie Lambert in the chest during this incident – perhaps another ban (he’d already received one for five bookings) is on the way for Mr Tomlin as is it only Premier League players who get done on video evidence?*
