O'Leary fined for Ref outburst

The ever passionate David O'Leary was today reprimanded for his outburst at referee Graham Poll following our first (and hopefully not last!) Premiership victory over Midland minnows Birmingham City.

O'Leary was reminded of his conduct following his emphatic salute to Doug Ellis and his family after the victory.

O'Leary has been in trouble with ref's a bit too much recently and still has a charge outstanding.

Hopefully he can begin to channel this passion into the dressing room so we can continue the mini-run we've got ourselves into. We've got some tough games coming up so we really need to keep that momentum going.

Next up: Doncaster (away). Read the Villa Blog prediction here.
