So you're 2-0 down in the second leg of a cup semi-final, the ball goes out for a goal-kick to the other team, you run over to encourage the ballboy to return the ball in a speedy fashion, the ballboy falls over on top of the ball, and then you decide that this is an entirely proportionate and appropriate response to the situation.
Of course, this is the club that has already established that you can bring a gun to work and shoot someone with it and not be sacked, so I suppose we can't be too surprised. So yeah, this is probably going to dominate the sports section of anything for the next little while, so be prepared.
(If you're trapped in a discussion of it and absolutely can't get out, you might offer the discussion point that Eric Cantona got an eight-month suspension back in 1995.)
