Also, are we going to bring the life ban thing up every time someone gets suspended for a few weeks? I never classed Alleway as an especially rough player. Counting how many weeks players have left before a life ban could get tedious. That is to say, I don't think that every player who gets suspended, even for a number of weeks, is a dirty player.
I think the perception is that Alleway is a dirty player. I'd like to think he is more a bit of a hothead. I think most of his suspensions have been for striking and not for dirty tackles.
When he was at North he certainly did wear his heart on his sleeve and played with a passion which probably lead to most of his suspensions. I doubt that has changed, playing for the Bays.
I'd probably rate him a dirty player JTC, but I kinda don't mind players like that, I like the fact there's a bit of old school in the modern sanitized game. Every club has had them, and the bloke has always clearly been able to play. The game needs its villains.
