Davies claimed the official denied him a legitimate goal on Saturday because of "something personal".[LNB]Davies thought he had headed a late winner against Fulham at The Reebok only for Clattenburg to disallow his effort for a push on Brede Hangeland.[LNB]There are now concerns the FA could take action against Davies for his comments but Coyle hopes those fears are unfounded.[LNB]Ahead of Tuesday night's match against Manchester City, Coyle said: "He certainly shouldn't be reprimanded.[LNB]"Kevin is a very honest player. He is a physical player, that's the way he plays the game. But he probably gets hit more than anyone else as well. You need a balance.[LNB]"He is a terrific captain and a terrific player, who scored a perfectly good goal. It is only right he feels aggrieved.[LNB]"If people are going to get into trouble for being honest, it is a sad day."[LNB][LNB]
