Bruce: Cattermole no longer my problem

@Sunderlandafc11 

Hull City boss Steve Bruce says Sunderland counterpart Gus Poyet has a challenge on his hands managing Lee Cattermole.

Both Cattermole and Andrea Dossena were sent off in Hull's win yesterday.

Bruce coached midfielder Cattermole on Wearside and earlier at Wigan but felt his sending off this time was correct given current regulations.

"Thankfully he's not mine to manage anymore," he said.

"(But) we all know what I think of Lee as a player. One thing Lee's got to curb is that red mist that comes down. We know you can't make that challenge in today's football, you just can't make it.

"He's got to learn that and I'm sure he will...eventually.

"In my day it might have been a booking but the directive is that if you leave the floor with studs showing, even if you don't make contact, it is seen as reckless and endangering the player.

"The referee's got that one right and the second one (by Dossena) is a horror challenge, let me tell you.

"It was on David Meyler, who has had two serious injuries in his career, and he was lucky because those are the ones that really damage footballers.

"I don't know if you can get three red cards but he deserved them."
