Huge Loss: Just In – Wrexham AFC Striker Paul Mullin Suspended for Using Foul Language Over His Frustration With Referee Decision

 

Wrexham, Wales – May 14, 2025

 

In a dramatic turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the football community, Wrexham AFC’s star striker Paul Mullin has been handed a suspension following a heated outburst during Saturday’s clash against Stockport County. The English Football League (EFL) confirmed the disciplinary action early Tuesday, citing Mullin’s use of “foul and abusive language” directed toward the referee as the primary cause for the ban.

 

The Incident That Sparked It All

 

The controversy unfolded during the 78th minute of what had been a tense and physical League Two matchup. With the scoreline tied at 1-1 and Wrexham vying for a vital three points to stay in the automatic promotion race, Mullin was brought down in the box under what appeared to be a clumsy challenge from Stockport’s centre-back Liam Hogan. Players and fans alike erupted, expecting a penalty to be awarded.

 

Instead, referee Darren Woods waved play on, a decision that immediately triggered a fiery reaction from Mullin. Visibly incensed, the striker approached the referee, gesturing emphatically and allegedly unleashing a string of expletives in protest. Woods wasted no time in brandishing a straight red card, and Mullin was escorted off the field by teammates while continuing to shout in frustration.

 

While tensions are common in competitive football, the EFL’s disciplinary panel reviewed the footage and determined that Mullin’s language and demeanor crossed the line.
