Tottenham Hotspur’s Luke McGee and Rotherham’s Dominic Ball are both on loan at Peterborough United until the end of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur loanee Luke McGee has been caught up in an on-the-pitch bust up at loan club Peterborough United with former White Hart Lane teammate Dominic Ball.
Ball and McGee were seen remonstrating with each other during Peterborough’s match against Walsall last weekend.
Ball was frustrated with McGee’s failure to claim a low cross in the first-half of Posh’s match at the Bescot Stadium, and the Tottenham pair had a very clear disagreement.
Posh boss Grant McCann was not happy with the lack of discipline shown by the duo after the match.
He said to the Peterborough Evening Telegraph: “There were things going on at Walsall like my goalkeeper fighting with my centre half that I didn’t recognise and I don’t want to see again.
“We’ve addressed the discipline issues in-house this morning and they are done and dusted.”
The consequences of the argument were more severe for Ball than McGee, with the former being dropped for Posh’s match with Southend United last night.
Peterborough only have veteran goalkeeper Mark Tyler in reserve, so McGee kept his place in McCann’s starting line-up, but Ball’s place was taken by Jack Baldwin.
The decision to drop Ball from McCann has come in for widespread criticism, as Posh conceded four in defeat to the Shrimpers last night.
Despite the recent disagreement, the pair have both done well on their loan spells at the ABAX Stadium so far.
McGee has had a highly impressive season in net for Posh, while Ball has looked impressive in his first few appearances for the League One club.
McGee and Ball both played in the same Tottenham youth team for a number of years, before Ball left White Hart Lane to join Rotherham United last summer.
