Burnley Player Fined For Going To Pub



Burnley manager Brian Laws has fined midfielder Kevin MacDonald after the player went to the pub having been substituted at half time during Burnley's 6-1 defeat by Manchester City.

The Scotland under 21 international apologised for his behaviour, saying:

“I now realise it was naive, disrespectful and totally wrong of me to leave the ground at half-time on Saturday. It was a gross misjudgement and instead I should have remained at Turf Moor to support my club and team-mates.”

“I acknowledge that I also showed a serious lack of respect to all the fans who were at the ground and who pay good money to watch their team play. I would like to apologise to the players, management and supporters and I have accepted my punishment.”
