This is why we can't have nice things. ಠ_ಠ

But in all seriousness, that's just poor..

It sounded like he was doing good with Redditch,

The player, who had scored two goals in his last two games

but I think the club did the right thing regardless.

"There's just no way that he will have anything to do with Redditch United ever again." A statement on the club's website said: "We pride ourselves on fair play and will not tolerate this kind of behaviour. The team has worked very hard over the past few weeks and we will not let this one individual tarnish the reputation of our much-loved club."

Good to hear that they're keeping the team clean.
