On The Game

Been a while since I've even logged on to here I'll be honest! Life getting in the way and all - still been having games though and finally going to make the leap and apply for L4.
Anyway, you know the captains that are appointed because they're the manager's son but they've got a bad attitude towards refs, no leadership qualities and aren't team players? What do you do with them? I had one the other week that started handbags, he was a young, immature attacker who basically piggy backed the much larger defender and then decided to square up to him when I gave the foul against him. (One of those who's never felt rough justice) Obviously now I just manage that team without a captain and that's to their detriment - they've chosen a bad character and therefore they won't get the benefit of working with the ref like their opposition will.
What do you all do in these situations? More to the point, why are they appointed captains?! I'm wondering if anyone has ever asked the manager to elect another captain or made some reference to the manager about their choice of captain? I know it's easy to say it's not our decision but there's some advice that could take place I'm sure. There was a centre back from that team would had the perfect attitude..
