The Guardian report on the match says Dann was disgusted by Benteke's insistence on taking the penalty. I don't know how they would know. Anyone who was there see what team mates' reaction to him was?

Did fvck all in the lead up to the penalty though. If he disapproved so much then why did his usual disappearing or silent act, just like when Cheek was scythed v Everton. He's a useless and spineless captain. As much to blame. There'll be people relying on leaders and old timers to step in and they did fvck all as per usual, the w@nkers.

Hodgson just in an interview saying it was a "unilateral" decision and that he doesn't expect players to change the decisions the management staff have made.

If it is simply a case of defiance, then it really is unforgivable. As much of a must win game as you could ever get.

Sounds like Benteke may have cooked his goose a little early this Christmas.

I heard on BBC London that Roy got into a row with supporters as he left the dug out and had to be hustled off and that Parish went down to speak to the fans involved.
