Bruce fuming at 'joke' dismissal
Wigan manager Steve Bruce branded Emmerson Boyce’s dismissal “an absolute joke” after seeing his 10 men salvage a point at Newcastle.
The visitors were leading 1-0 at St James’ Park when the defender was sent off by referee Andre Marriner for a second bookable offence nine minutes after the break, despite replays suggesting he had won the ball from Shola Ameobi.
