As you may have heard, Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba was sent off at Ipswich for what some have described as ‘fighting everyone’.
The Ivorian defender, making his ninth appearance for the Bluebirds, was dismissed midway through the second half of the draw at Ipswich, and the two clubs’ Twitter accounts had very different ways of describing the flashpoint.
But the footage doesn’t lie.

As you can see, Ipswich striker David McGoldrick is Bamba’s first target, and others feel his wrath before Neil Warnock steps in.
Normally, the sight of your own manager trying to stop you making matters worse should be enough of an incentive to stop.
However, as you can see, Sol Bamba doesn’t play by anyone else’s rules.
The 31-year-old was said to be “distraught” after the game, with Warnock waiting until the morning to speak to his player about what happened at Portman Road.

Bamba can surely expect a lengthy ban for his actions, though it remains to be seen whether he will be given additional punishment for the scenes that followed his dismissal.
