I anticipated a yellow card and he mentioned to me: ‘For me it is a purple card however on account of him’ – that is what I understood as it was once loud within the stadium – ‘it is yellow’. Showed me a yellow and smiled to my face. That’s it.
“The issues that have been fabricated from what Paul Tierney mentioned to me, I did not say.

The relaxation was once how I felt in that second about Paul Tierney reffing our video games. I’m very certain he isn’t doing it deliberately however we have now a historical past and I can’t deny that.
“Of direction issues did not occur deliberately however they’re nonetheless there and it is a feeling. I do know the refs have been actually offended about what I mentioned and now opt for it. I heard I used to be mendacity. I did numerous issues that day however I did not lie.”
