HAHAHAHA! LOL!!! That made me laugh. Clarke knew he as about to be beaten up before he even got down the tunnel, that's why he didn't want to go down there.

From what I saw there, that was no fault of Clarkes. Di Canio attacked Leon.

swindon forums are generally thinking di canio is mental, but also want to off load clarke as well.

Di Canio has bust-up with his own player after Carling Cup defeat to Southampton
Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio was involved in a heated confrontation with striker Leon Clarke following Tuesday's Carling Cup defeat by Southampton.
After his side were beaten 3-1 at home in the second-round clash at the County Ground, the hot-headed Italian could be seen remonstrating with forward Clarke as the team left the pitch.
The former West Ham striker appeared to manhandle Clarke towards the tunnel and the pair seemed to be pushing and shoving before being separated.
Clarke refused to go into the dressing room and left the ground still wearing his kit while Di Canio went home without attending his usual post-match press conference.

Instead it was left to chairman Jeremy Wray to try to explain the scuffle.
Wray, who has promised to conduct a full investigation, said: 'Clearly there was an incident and it would be wrong to apportion blame until we have all the facts.
'Leon and the fitness coach were having words after the game and there was a disagreement between them. As Leon came off the pitch Paolo was conscious these things should be done behind closed doors.
'There was a misunderstanding there that carried on into the tunnel.
'It got to a situation where the whole thing blew up very fast. There was frustration on both sides.
'The whole issue was trivial but nobody responded in the right way.
'The manager was quite right to try to defuse the situation.
'Paolo was frustrated the whole thing was played out in public. He feels one of the players has let him down.'

The incident overshadowed another impressive performance from Southampton, who continued their impressive start to the season to set up a third-round showdown with either Charlton or Preston.
Brazilian Guly do Prado gave the visitors the perfect start by heading in Lee Holmes' cross after only 17 minutes.
Jonathan Forte's neat finish from 12 yards on the half-hour - the former Sc**thorpe striker's first goal of the season - doubled Saints' lead.
Swindon substitute Mehdi Kerrouche's late free-kick threatened to set up a grand slam finish but Rickie Lambert sealed the win in the dying seconds.
While all the talk was about Di Canio and Clarke, Saints manager Nigel Adkins was just pleased to get through.
Adkins said: 'We passed the ball around really well in the first half but fair play to Swindon, they made a game of it in the second.
'We try to play football in the right way and I was very pleased with another solid performance and we look forward to the next round.'
Leyton Orient, meanwhile, who are rock bottom of League One, will face Premier League side Blackburn in the next round after Stephen Dawson scored in the 94th minute in a 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers.
Orient, who knocked out Watford in the previous round, took the lead when David Mooney netted in the 18th minute. The Irish striker then won a penalty five minutes later when Wayne Brown hauled him down which Ben Chorley converted.
Chris Zebroski got one back for Bristol Rovers before Eliot Richards equalised in the 91st minute. But Dawson won it for Orient three minutes later.
Aldershot progressed to the third round for the first time since 1984 with a 2-0 win over League One Carlisle at the Recreation Ground.
Michael Rankine and a Danny Livesey own goal sent the League Two side through. Aldershot will play Rochdale at home in the next round.

SWINDON ADVERTISER
Town set to investigate tunnel spat
6:00am Wednesday 31st August 2011
* By Gary Rose »
SWINDON Town interim chairman Jeremy Wray today plans to speak with both Leon Clarke and Paolo Di Canio following a post-match spat between the pair after last night's 3-1 defeat to Southampton in the second round of the Carling Cup.
Clarke was visibly frustrated following discussions with fitness coach Claudio Donatelli as he made his way towards the tunnel and when Di Canio approached to put a consolatory arm around him, the 26-year-old pushed him away.
A dispute between the two ensued before Clarke then refused to go down the tunnel and spent the next 15 minutes talking to interim chairman Jeremy Wray on the pitch.
It was a disappointing end to the game after Town had shown a marked improvement in performance following a largely poor first half, briefly threatening a comeback when Mehdi Kerrouche fired home a superb free-kick with six minutes remaining, before Rickie Lambert put the result beyond a doubt.
It remains to be seen what the implications of the dispute will be, with Di Canio opting not to attend the post-match press conference.
“There was an incident but it would be wrong to say too much now until we have the full story from both sides," said Wray.
“In essence what happened was Leon and the fitness coach were having words after the game and there were disagreements over a couple of differences that had gone on.
“When Leon was coming off the pitch Paolo was very conscious of the fact that these discussions should be held behind closed doors.
"He was keen to get him down to the dressing room and talk then, I think Leon didn’t want to go down at the time and there was clearly a misunderstanding there that carried on down the tunnel.
“These things should be sorted out behind closed doors, that unfortunately is not what happened but until we go over all the comments it is unfair to blame anyone."
Wray revealed that Di Canio apologised for the incident to Town's interim chairman afterwards.
"He apologised to me because he doesn't want it to happen," he added.
"It was not an apology for his actions in trying to diffuse the whole situation.
"He regrets the issue happened and that it deflects from what was a very good team performance in the second half."

Paolo Di Canio in heated confrontation with Swindon's Leon Clarke
• Manager and new striker involved in tunnel skirmish
• Incident follows 3-1 Carling Cup defeat by Southampton
The Swindon manager, Paolo Di Canio, and striker Leon Clarke exchanged heated words on the touchline before a confrontation in the tunnel.
Swindon's manager, Paolo Di Canio, was involved in a heated confrontation with his striker Leon Clarke following the Carling Cup defeat by Southampton on Tuesday night.

Clarke future unclear after post-match spat
By Gary Rose
LEON Clarke was involved in a heated dispute with Paolo Di Canio shortly after Swindon's 3-1 defeat to Southampton in the Carling Cup last night.
The former QPR striker appeared to be unhappy following discussions with fitness coach Claudio Donatelli as he made his way towards the tunnel.
Di Canio attempted to diffuse the situation but was pushed away by Clarke, who then went to spend over 15 minutes on the pitch talking with interim chairman Jeremy Wray.
With the transfer window closing tomorrow, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Clarke at Town.
"That it coincides with the transfer window tomorrow is largely irrelevant, the main thing is we find out what happened, see how the player feels and the manager feels," said Wray.
"I have spoken to Paolo and he is frustrated that the situation played out like it did.
"He is trying to sort out a team ethic regarding how these things are done and he feels he has been let down by one of those players."
Wray dismissed suggestions that Di Canio's own future at the club is doubt following the incident.
"If this was an issue with anyone other than Paolo we wouldn't be having this discussion.
"I think it is unfair to pick on the character Paolo because he is in there trying to sort out the situation.
"That is just the headline for a story that is not there. It is not the truth

If it had occurred in the Dressing room - like the alleged Magilton-Buzasky matter - would have been a "he said/he said" matter...
But this was public...and on video...Swindon Town Board are going to have to act or not act. But they will have make a decision eitehr way.

Swindon Advertiser - Time called on Clarke
Thursday 1st September 2011
* By Gary Rose »
LEON Clarke looks to have played his last game for Swindon with the club set to move the striker on when the loan transfer window opens next week.
The former QPR frontman was involved in a post-match spat with Town boss Paolo Di Canio following the Robins' 3-1 defeat to Southampton in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night.
Clarke appeared to be frustrated by the prospect of returning to training first thing yesterday morning, and pushed Di Canio away when the Italian attempted to encourage the 26-year-old to head down the tunnel.
Clarke did not train yesterday and will not train with the rest of the Town squad for the next seven days, when it is expected he will be sent out on loan.
"I have not spoken to Leon but I spoke with Paolo and the player's agent and it was agreed by everyone that a loan would be the best move," interim chairman Jeremy Wray told the Advertiser.
It is expected that Di Canio will dip into the loan market next week, with a striker and a defender top of his wanted list.
Town missed out on Arsenal starlet Daniel Boateng after the Premier League club decided to hold onto him for the time being.
A loan deal was agreed last week but that move was delayed on Friday, with Arsenal wanting Boateng to play in a reserve fixture at the weekend.
Town remained hopeful of completing the move this week, but Arsenal informed the Robins that they would not be sending the 19-year-old out on loan.

Well this just took an interesting twist. SSN just interviewed Di Canio who said Leon Clarke is the laziest player he has ever seen. Apparently 7 days after he signed for Swindon he asked to leave because he was being forced to train more than he wanted to.
