DYER TO BE DISCIPLINED BY SIR BOB

Kieron Dyer is expected to feel the full fury of Sir Bobby Robson within the next few days, as Robson admitted he is unhappy at Dyer's attempted goal line clearance on Wednesday night, having seen it again on TV.

Dyer appeared to totally switch off for Barcelona's third goal on Wednesday night, when he casually tried to flick the ball off the line with his hands still on his hips.

The media asked Sir Bobby Robson if he'd seen it on TV and a very stern Bobby replied:

"Yes, i've seen that. It's worse than I first thought and he will be taken to task about it."

What the extent of Robson's discipline towards Dyer will be is not yet known. A good talking to behind closed doors is probably the most likely punishment, though Jermaine Jenas is on stand-by to get a game on Saturday and don't rule out a fine either.
