Just hours on from it being reported – by The Telegraph – that Jamie Vardy was facing an additional ban for swearing at referee Jon Moss after being sent off in Leicester City’s weekend draw with West Ham, one would have thought that most Premier League players would be doing their best to stay in the officials’ good books.
Well, not Ryan Shawcross!
It’s OK to molest the lino’s moobs now, is it? Shawcross clearly has more recent copy of the rules than I do #STOTOT pic.twitter.com/xoheyHg1w7

The Stoke City captain surely crossed the line when he decided to grab a linesman by the breasts in tonight’s game between the Potters and Tottenham Hotspur.
Shawcross seemed to grab the assistant referee in frustration, after he was denied a free kick for a push by first-half goalscorer Harry Kane.

Strangely, the lino didn’t seem to mind much, while nothing was said of the incident in Sky Sports’ commentary.
I guess moob molesting is just a part of the modern game we have to accept these days, like diving or Jamie Carragher in a suit.
Would you rather be called a f***ing c*** by Vardy at point-blank range, or have your chest grabbed by Shawcross?
