Richards Throws Teenage Tantrum
Promising Manchester City youngster Micah Richards threw what can only be described as a “hissy fit” when he was substituted on the hour in the Blues’ 1-0 defeat at Reading last night.
The 18-year-old threw his shirt to the ground and waved his arms in disgust following his exit from the pitch and this was broadcast live on television as Sky was covering the match.
Ironically, team-mate Paul Dickov, known himself for his fiery temper, had to calm the youngster down after being substituted at the same time.
Manager Stuart Pearce was not impressed by the teenager’s unprofessionalism.
“It is my job as a manger to educate young players and that is what I will do in this case” he said.
Let’s hope the “education” involves Pearce’s boot and Richards’ arse in the same swift movement. Idiot.
