PRESTON full-back Darnell Fisher was been handed a three-match ban after grabbing an opponent’s genitals, the FA announced today.
Fisher was found guilty of violent conduct by an independent regulatory commission in relation to an incident involving Callum Paterson during the Championship match against Sheffield Wednesday on November 21.
The incident was not seen by the match officials at time but was spotted on video afterwards, the FA said.
Fisher had denied the charge in relation to the incident, which occurred in the 62nd minute of the match.
Pulis was asked about the incident today ahead of the match against his old club Stoke.
“I think what the lad did was ridiculous really,” he told reporters.
“Did he do it for Callum to react and try and get the kid sent off? That’s the only reason I can think why he did it.
“But it is ridiculous and something that should not happen in professional sport and fingers crossed we won’t see it again.”
Blackburn’s Lewis Holtby went viral on Tuesday night after he jokingly covered his genitals as Fisher passed him during Preston’s 3-0 defeat at Deepdale.
