Cardiff City's Sol Bamba was not best pleased with the officials, his teammates or the medical staff in Saturday's game against Ipswich.
The Côte d'Ivoire international was receiving treatment when he decided that a schemozzle in order, and suddenly pushed the physio out of the way in order to square up to Douglas, the player who had made the unpleasant looking challenge on him in the first place.
He wasn't quite finished there however, as he also decided that he would have a go at a number of other Ipswich players (including Ireland's David McGoldrick, who stepped in to try and calm him down) the fourth official, and appeared to be ready to take on his manger Neil Warnock as well.
Bamba down injured. Physio on. Bamba shoves physio over. Goes to charge at Douglas (who tackled him). McGoldrick intervenes. Lots of shoving

Bamba went mental. Shoved own physio over, had a go at 4th official, dismissed, then fights with own boss Warnock. Never seen that before.

The people behind the Ipswich twitter account were perplexed by his actions, admitting that they really didn't know what was going on either as the incident erupted.
RED CARD! Sol Bamba is sent off as he totally loses his head and tries to fight numerous people in the ground, including the fourth official

I'm not sure what has actually just happened, I mean....what on earth?!

Footage shows that it was a poor tackle, and that Bamba was outraged with the officials and the opposition afterwards.
