Ricardo Fuller has accused Andy Griffin of being “very rude and disrespectful” in the episode which led to the Stoke striker being sent off for slapping his team-mate in the defeat against West Ham.

TONY PULIS had called on Stoke to show some fight as they prepare for a nervy new year survival battle, but this was presumably not what had he had in mind.
