Unusual but you can see it’s serious enough for Police to be involved.

Moved this as I feel it deserves more attention than it would have got in its original location.

Disgraceful act and a prison sentence should be awaiting him.

What doesn’t sit right with me is the amount of VC sending offs there are without police intervention. It feels like if the referee spotted this and sent him off, it might not have received the same social media traction and result in police involvement.
