Paolo Di Canio pulls off his keeper
After conceding 2 goals in 20 minutes, Paolo Di Canio decides enough is enough and subs keeper Wes Foderingham with a weird flappy hand gesture – prompting an assault on a water bottle and some angry words to the management from the 20 year old…
Watch the incident, plus Di Canio’s inimitable post match reaction below…
It remains to be seen whether “League One Wes” (who’s most definitely not Peter Cech) will apologise, and if not, how Paolo’s ominous sounding “regime” will punish him…

Some of Di Canio’s quotes, in various interviews:
“He’s the worst professional I’ve ever seen,”
“It wasn’t only the mistake, which can happen to everyone. It was the arrogance later on when he started moaning to the others. That was the worst thing for me.“
“If he doesn’t come out and say sorry to the fans for his professionalism then he is out of my team.”
And from another interview:
“He was one of the worst players I have ever seen.
“He’s another player like the others, why can’t we change the goalkeeper? Because the goalkeeper has a different coloured shirt?
“I know Wes, he was the worst player against Stoke in the cup – he was far away the worst player, he made a rubbish performance. But I covered for him because we won 4-3.
“But what he did was not only the mistake, which can happen to anyone, but the arrogance when he started moaning to the other players – that was the worst thing for me.
“A player that doesn’t recognise his mistakes which were clear from miles away, he started moaning to his team-mates. Out there he behaved as the worst professional, arrogant, ignorant athlete I have ever seen.”
In the words of Rio Ferdinand, “raw”.
