How Acton and his club cannot understand the severity of this is beyond me.
The potential to cause serious injury was off the scale. He's picked up the head of a player who already has a head injury and then shoved it back to the ground.
Even IF he didn't realise the player was injured when he lifted his head off the ground, he certainly did when he decided to shove it back down. God forbid, but if the injured player had damaged his spine even slightly, Acton could have paralysed him.
Acton is a danger to others on the field. Anything else like this and he should receive a lifetime ban.
