Hard to get away from the fact that, world class player though he is, Zak is often just a moment away from other team's fans pretending he's commited an atrocity.

The kids class, I'm a fan. I defended his earlier on this very same thread.

But lets not pretend he's he isn't a nutcase. Only a matter of time.

Agree with Gareth - he has a very short fuse - one that is going blow big style in an important game. Opposition players will have his measure and will exploit it when you least want that to happen.

I'm not sure blowing a kiss and calling someone "a f**king ?????" classifies you as a nutcase. It was clear something went on in the tackle on the ground that Hardaker took exception to, a few others might've gotten into a punch up or kicked out when on the floor and gotten themselves sent off or binned which would be worst.

He's had inappropriate/questionable language and an eye gouge that was clearly accidentally, and thinking he was on an off day during England camp. Whilst it shows a pattern of getting into bother and him not being the brightest button, it's an OTT reaction brought on by the faux outrage of others to think of him of a nutcase with brain explosions.

Meh, it's just the diddy teams fans trying to stir poop. There's a belter on the Wakey board with faux outrage at the South Stand calling Silverwood an onanist. Of course there's never any swearing (or fighting!) at Belle Vue!

How good would that have been, if the SS had Chanted " The Official is an Onanist"? He'd have had to call time off to consult a dictionary

Looks like he said f*cking dick to me . As I said on the stains board, if he gets a ban they should be transcribing all picked up audio and banning 10 players per game.

It looks nothing like that to me. I'm no lip reader bit it looks a pretty odd way to say dick.

Substitute the word "dick" for "prick" and it's not odd at all.

My first thought was the c-word. But lip reading from that angle would be tough even for somebody who can lip read.

we going to ban every player who swears then????
