Carew Fined 'Pretty Heavily' After Lapdance Escapade
Aston Villa striker John Carew has been hit with a 'pretty heavy' fine by club manager Martin O'Neill for his decision to visit a lapdancing club within hours of a Uefa Cup tie against Ajax...
Carew was spotted at a lapdancing venue in the early hours of Thursday morning - the same day that Aston Villa had a crucial Uefa Cup encounter against Ajax at Villa Park.
Although Carew was left out of the panel for the match, his decision to visit the club was roundly criticised by all concerned with the Premier League outfit.
Carew made a goalscoring return to the first-team yesterday as Villa trounced Wigan Athletic by four goals to nil, but that has not stopped Martin O'Neill hitting the Norwegian in the pocket for his 'oversight.'
The Aston Villa manager told the BBC: "John was disciplined because he breached the rules.
"John thinks there are mitigating circumstances. I listened and then I made a decision he was wrong.
"It was a large oversight on his part.
"John assures me it won't happen again so I will believe him. It wasn't the brightest thing to do. Most of the players in the dressing room are saying it should be doubled."
Well i do think Carew totally deserve this "Bloody Heavy" fine as being in a strip club before an important match isn't something to forgive and forget about, and who knows he maybe had one or two shots before the game too
what do you think about this, does Carew deserve it ?
