Lincoln City player banned for violent conduct against Bristol Rovers after angering Joey Barton

Lincoln City defender Lewis Montsma has been banned for three games after admitting a charge of violent conduct on Bristol Rovers defender James Connolly.

Gas manager Joey Barton fumed after the game last Saturday, believing several key decisions – which he described as "soul-destroying" – went against his team including Ryan Loft's red card in the first half and the subsequent decision not to dismiss Montsma after catching Connolly with his arm in the 81st minute

After the conclusion of the 1-0 defeat at Sincil Bank, Barton took to Twitter to vent his anger, posting a video that clearly showed Monstma swinging his arm into the face of the Gas defender.
