Fiery Souness’ blast could land him in more hot water

BLACKBURN manager Graeme Souness could find himself in more hot water with the FA following his verbal blast at Aston Villa defender Ronny Johnsen.

Souness has already requested a personal FA hearing after being charged following an altercation with fourth official Matt Messias during Rovers' Worthington Cup quarter-final win at Wigan in December which ended with the fiery Scot being sent from the dugout.

And the former Liverpool manager did not hold back on Sunday as he accused former Manchester United and Norway centre-back Johnsen of trying to get Rovers defender James McEveley sent off during his side's 3-0 defeat at Villa Park.
