I can understand the point of view that it’s good for players to show passion, I’m 100% in agreement with that. However, what you’re looking for from your Captain is someone who can be a bit more level headed and not allow emotions to take over, resulting in silly suspensions for mouthing off at the referee and suchlike. I know we don’t live in an ideal world and it’s a natural reaction for players to show their frustration, but I’m disappointed in Shaun for incurring a two game ban for something which was completely avoidable. It’s all the more disappointing, because since he’s been playing in his best position again (ie. right back) he has been back to something approaching his best. If he wasn’t such an important player to us this suspension wouldn’t be half as annoying.
