Do you think Sol is over reacting to a bit of banter or has it gone to far?
Personally I agree with the callers to Jeremy Vine's phone-in who made the point that to earn respect the footballers should actually show a little. A footballer has never abused a referee or reacted to a crowd and hurled abuse back, has he?
