    It would have been so much classier if Charlie had bowed to them and blown them a kiss. Much more infuriating for their fans but harmless in apparent intent. A friend of mine used to blow kisses at people who shouted at him from their cars. Always an impressive effect but I never had the balls to do it.

    Does anyone know what happened about this? Wasn't it Monday that he had to respond by?

    Giving people who do idiotic things while driving a big smile and thumbs-up is also extremely effective. Maybe too effective.

    Well done FA, that's going to encourage opposition fans to abuse and wind players up. It was stupid though, can't condone it.

    All the City fans did was boo Austin. A suspension was inevitable. You can't make hand gestures like that.

    Well that’s sorted out the forward line then! Thanks Charlie and we’ll done the FA, no action against the abusers and draconian response to the abused! He was wrong but come on 2 match ban?

    At least we’ll get a look at Sam again then, possibly Marcus too.

    Imagine the uproar if he actually got red carded one second before stepping off the pitch to safety. I'm guessing refs have been "reminded".

    Just did something in the moment, but may have cost the team. Very unprofessional...let's face it, I'm struggling to think of any other current player at Saints who'd have done such a thing. Not serious in itself, but the consequences may be. I bet the club will also fine him on the quiet.
