      by

      But he did it right next to Tranmere’s Tom Davies, who momentarily reacted with shock but stayed on his feet.
      Many argue that Hall actually punched Davies in the ribs during his celebration.
      Some fans took to Twitter to complain as they insist the striker should have been sent off with a straight red.
      They also praised Davies’ toughness as the defender didn’t go down or dive to simulate a red card.

      One fan said: “Surely that is a straight RED for the Colchester lad…that did not seem like punching the air from the Tranmere players [sic] face…”
      Another posted: “Absolute disgraceful so unprofessional and this is unsportsmanship.
      “The FA needs to take a good hard look at this and for me a charge for the player is fully deserved it’s wrong and unacceptable it’s assault tbh.”
      A third commented: “This is actually proper bad, hope it does get looked into EFL. Fair play to the lad for not making a big deal out of it.”

      This fan said: “Definitely malicious this, fair play to the Tranmere player staying on his feet, think he was too shocked to react.”
      And that one tweeted: “Three match ban for violent conduct.”
      However, there are also many fans who insist this is nothing but an optical illusion.
      They claim Hall was actually celebrating and there is no chance he could have punched Davies or else the Tranmere ace would have collapsed under excruciating pain.

      And after catching wind of SunSport’s combined greatest Gunners XI, picked by ChatGPT, Morgan has named his own.
      Gooner Piers opted to deploy a traditional 4-4-2 formation for his dream XI.
      Up front, he, unsurprisingly, picked club icons Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.
      Robert Pires and current Emirates hero Bukayo Saka occupied the wings, filling the left and right flanks respectively.

      While club legend Patrick Vieira anchors Morgan’s midfield along with fellow Frenchman Emmanuel Petit.
      But it’s at the back where Piers did not leave fellow fans convinced.
      He named former England defender David Seaman in goal, behind a back four of Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, David O’Leary and… Oleksandr Zinchenko.
      While the majority of the Emirates faithful were in agreement with the rest of Piers’ selections, many took umbrage at his selection of Zinchenko ahead of Ashley Cole.

      But recently, Plemons uploaded a video to his YouTube channel in which he spoke about a potential KSI vs Jake Paul match-up.
      Plemons stated in the video, titled ‘KSI vs Jake Paul.. Is NOT Happening’, that a fight between Paul and Floyd Mayweather would sell more PPVs.
      He also said that Paul would most likely want to entertain a rematch with Tommy Fury first.
      But the claims have irked KSI.

      What did KSI say about Wade Plemons?
      “Man, f*** Wade,” KSI ranted on Twitter.
      “This Wade guy plays all sides. Trying to please everyone. You are so fake, omg. F* you and everything you stand for, you two-faced c*.
      “This man acts like he knows everything about boxing. He doesn’t know s***. You’re not that guy.”
      KSI’s manager Mams Taylor then confirmed that Plemons had been let go from Misfits Boxing.

      “Have fun on KingPyn,” he jokingly remarked in reference to a rival crossover boxing promotion on a Twitter Space.
      “It wasn’t over today he got fired.
      “It’s been long coming. I’ve been nothing but fair with Wade. People can have the wrong impression of me, I don’t care.
      “But they know JJ better than that. Obviously, there is more to it than just today’s video. A lot more.
      “DAZN didn’t know anything about Wade before I insisted he would be brought in.”
      Paul, however, has criticised KSI and Taylor over it, backing Plemons in the process.
      “Such insecure clowns,” Paul said. “Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle.
      “Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Now back to my vacation.” More

      Plemons said in response: “We don’t see eye to eye on much of anything but I respect and appreciate this. Thanks man.”
      KSI also denied that his anger came from a single video and pointed towards Plemons’ criticism of Misfits’ tag-team boxing match.
      He tweeted: “The initial hatred towards the tag team boxing that he put out publicly but privately loved the idea.
      “He literally just says and does what the public want to hear. While privately trying to please everyone.
      “I’m done with it. Be your true self publicly and privately towards me.”
      But Plemons hit back: “My opinions around the tag team idea was never “Hate” I had concerns over it’s safety and ruleset, and I needed to see it happen.
      “When I saw it I GLADLY found that those precautious were taken. I’m not sure where JJ is getting this but “behind the scenes” I said the same thing.”
      Plemons received public backing from fans, who criticised his dismissal from Misfits events.
      KSI later deleted his rant but followed up with: “To you it’s an overreaction but to me it’s a build up of a lot of things behind the scenes.
      “You can have a public opinion but don’t come to me on a switch up when you see me in person.
      “Sorry for my outburst but I’m human, I’m gonna get angry sometimes.”

      And Plemons replied: “I understand I ruffle some feathers at misfits with my takes on things, but I don’t and have never switched up on you in person or online.
