Glad to see he wasn't late for the snooker final, they don't like you turning up whilst they are playing.

I always thought squads sign up to a disciplinary code at the start of a season? If he breached it he gets punished, end of!

[Damo70]

How late was he and did he have a legitimate reason for it?

Seems like a bit of an overreaction to drop him for being late once.

I thought there was a problem with him commuting from Sheffield against the manager's wishes. So if he is doing that and subsequently was late it wouldn't go down well.

Message to Mrs Lowton: Insist your husband demands a move back to Sheffield United. I'm sure the subsequent huge drop in salary from Premier League level to that of League One would be a small price to pay to have your Matty closer at hand. Alternatively, fucking move house to the Birmingham area. Your husband is on a million pound salary - you can afford it!

We need him back Bacuna is no right back

She obviously had no qualms about him travelling to London to watch the masters snooker final with Bowery today.

Sounds like a nothing. He wont be the first or last new Father to turn up late for work after a sleepless night i'm sure

 Disagree UKTS, Lowton is an absolute liability at RB, Bacuna was very good defensively yday.

Perhaps a woman of (and I'm guessing) around 22 with her first pregnancy prefers to be near her parents than in a new city where she doesn't know many people, and her husband not only works but is busy every weekend?

Just a thought.

You come across as a very understanding man Matt, and your points are valid. However Mrs Lowton entered a relationship with a footballer. She, I assume, decided to have a child with a footballer. Footballers have always had to go to work at weekends. They also invariably change employer every few years. She should be very grateful her husband got a huge career move with the new employer being only 60 miles away.

I've got twins who are now two. I never showed up late for work and I get in around 7.30 and my wife and I had plenty of rough nights. I'm sure my employer wouldn't take kindly to me showing up at 8.30. Footballers have rules that need to be applied with consistency. It's one thing making some allowances as an agreed exception but if he broke rules, then it stands to reason he should be held accountable. I'd be shocked if the club just slapped him with a suspension if this was the first time, or in a manner suggesting a lack of compassion.

It's not their first child,but their 3rd one -
 also it seems it's the first time he's been late for training since joining the club -

@higgins_abi: To clear up rumour.... Matt was late to trainin (ONCE) on friday due to a crash causing the motorway he was on to be closed! Nothin else
