Milan's Gattuso Suspended

[sadie1263]

The AC Milan vice-captain twice clashed with Jordan, both during the sides' Champions League last-16 first leg at the San Siro on Tuesday – which Tottenham won 1-0 – and after it, when he headbutted the 59-year-old.
A statement released by Uefa read: "The control and disciplinary body ruled that Gattuso had assaulted the Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Joe Jordan after the match.
"Gattuso, who was also cautioned in the 76th minute of the game, is already suspended for the return leg of the Uefa Champions League tie against Tottenham after receiving three yellow cards.
"Consequently, the four-match suspension applies to the next four Uefa club competition matches for which he would be eligible."
The ban means Gattuso, who has three days to appeal, would not be available until the final should Milan continue to progress.

Well, he can hardly be surprised after headbutting Joe Jordan, can he?

I mean, there must have been millions watching the game on TV as well as the referee in full view of the thing.

What a stupid way to carry on for a well-paid and talented footballer!
