Joey Barton's antics against Lincoln have been downplayed as "pantomime stuff'' by Burnley boss Sean Dyche.
And Dyche will be content if that is the extent of the controversy the 34-year-old courts at Turf Moor, having had no issues with a man whose career has been marked by unsavoury incidents both on and off the field.
Barton's run-in with Imps striker Matt Rhead, which saw the former England cap stand on the non-league striker's foot before hitting the deck as he ran into his opponent's arm, was widely derided across social media and sparked lots of debate on mainstream channels too.
