'That's the horrible side of the game. I don't care what is going on at Newcastle, you cannot tolerate this.

'It took the shine off it in my mind. If I go back to the incident, my players were killing time in the corner, something that every Premier League club do no matter who you are.

'In the process of doing that, someone has decided to take the matter into his own hands and lashed out at Craig Fagan.'
