Warnock expects no action over v-sign

Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock is confident he will escape any Football Association charge despite admitting flashing a v-sign at Norwich manager Nigel Worthington after Saturday’s defeat to Norwich.

Warnock was incensed the former Sheffield Wednesday defender ignored him, refusing a handshake after the Canaries’ 2-1 win at Carrow Road.

Referee Paul Taylor is believed to have mentioned he incident in his match report but Warnock remains unrepentant.

“I won’t deny that I flipped my fingers in his direction, but only because I was so disgusted and frustrated at being humiliated by a fellow manager,” Warnock told The Yorkshire Post.

“If the same circumstances arose I would do the same again.

“I held out my hand for six or seven seconds but he kept on talking and turned his back. There was no mix-up. He even looked me in the eyes."
