Empathetic refereeing

He certainly got frustrated, Ballard had pocketed him to be honest. Coburn wanted to leave a little on him, but it wasn't dangerous play. The headbutt thing, I'm 50-50 on that, I'm not entirely sure he rtied to stick the head on someone, but it was aggression. I'm not sure there was enough for a straight red there as he didn't endanger anyone or try to striker anyone. It could very easily have turned into that though or been interpreted that way.
I actually thought in the melee (when I watched it live) a filthy, dishonest Sunderland clad arm swung over and tried to land a punch on angelic, proud Josh. The sort of disgusting sneak tactics I'd expect from a makem, and possibly a bosch.
