Vinny under investigation

Vinny faces an FA investigation after swearing at the ref. Lee says they are men not boys, but shouldn't go over the top. Wrong - they shouldn't do it all.

Vinny Samways will be available for tommorow nights clash with Ipswich. Samways had been serving a ban for his sending off against Coventry, and an impending FA investigation had cast a shadow over his availability tommorow. 

Lee failed to condemn Samways for his language saying....

"i think its a fairly natural reaction that if a referee is sending you off and you think he's got it wrong then you dont thank him. I dont say you should go over the top,  but we're not boys now, we're men" (express and star)

Lee went on to say...

"He accepts that he swore but he didnt say what the referee say he said"

If the FA choose to punish Samways it will be via a fine or one game ban. Colin Lee could learn a thing or two from Sir Ray who would not have tolerated such behaviour from his players or back them afterwards. This is exactly why was against dissent and getting on the refs back. Thread bare squads can suffer due to the careless behaviour of individuals. 

Samways has the divisions worst diciplinary record at this moment in time. The tables are published in the News of the World, and Samways is currently perched on the top.
