irmingham's Roger Johnson has revealed his spat with Hugo Rodallega was fuelled by memories of a previous challenge by the Wigan hitman.[LNB] Johnson confronted the Colombian during the first half of the goalless draw at St Andrew's after being caught by the forward's arm.[LNB]Rodallega reacted by twice pushing his forehead towards Johnson's chin, with both players picking up a yellow card from referee Mark Clattenburg for the incident.[LNB]And Johnson claimed it was not the first time Rodallega had caught him in such a manner.[LNB]Johnson told the Birmingham Mail: "That's the only reason I got the hump. He did me last year and cut me. It was exactly the same challenge again. I think I was within my rights to have a word with him.[LNB]"The ref's come in and it was a harsh booking for me, to be honest. If it happens on the street, then you go and have a word with whoever did it."
