“Barnet striker Manny Duku reacted angrily to being replaced by Josh Walker in the 35th minute and lashed out at the side of the visitors' dugout as he left the pitch - manager John Still responded by banishing him to the dressing room.”

From BBC report of Barnet winning away at the Gas in a Cup upset tonight. Byron Harrison with the winner.

....Well would you rather have a player who said thanks for subbing me off gaffer, now I can have a nice warm shower all to myself?
He was strechered off injured a few days ago so it could have been that he wasn't fully fit.

Yes, I like a bit of passion.

If he has had a bust up with Still, then hopefully he will be on his way back here and can show that passion for CTFC.

Yes, a striker with a bit of passion. Nothing wrong with a bit of anger as long as it’s not taken out on an opponent on the field of play. He was likely angry with himself because the injury probably affected his performance (and therefore the substitution), but it shows his grit and determination - let’s not forget how quickly he came back after dislocating his shoulder earlier in the season. There’s a quality player in Duku.

If i was a player and trying my best i would be annoyed at being subbed in the first half. Five minutes to cool down and the strop is usually over.

I always thought Byron was the one with an attitude problem ?

he scored the winner last night,but he didn't seem overly chuffed.

That's Byron I guess.

If the manager didn’t think he was fit; then why did the player start.

He did think he was fit before the game started, but then decided he wasn't when he realised he wasn't running round like he usually does.
