Duo agree to disagree after draw
Rival managers Billy Davies and Simon Grayson had different views on the incident involving Nottingham Forest's Chris Gunter and Leeds' Sanchez Watt in the 1-1 draw at The City Ground.
Gunter and Watt were both booked by referee Tony Bates following an unsightly fracas in the closing stages. The Forest player petulantly stamped on the foot of Watt after the forward had trodden on his toes moments earlier.
Leeds boss Grayson said: "The referee has got the wrong decision. I have seen it and the Forest player is a lucky boy, it's a blatant stamp. I don't know how the referee came to give two yellow cards, it's a strange decision that's been made."
But Forest manager Davies countered: "I have watched the video and there was a stamp on my goalkeeper Lee Camp before the other incident. Gunter was also clearly stamped on and has then reacted very naively. Gunter should not have got involved and was not as professional as he should have been."
Grayson was delighted with the way his team withstood Forest's initial onslaught and suggested they might take all three points in the second half.
He added: "The early goal put us under pressure and we could not cope with what they were throwing at us. But we dug in and our goal gave us a bit of belief. In the end we were the dominant team and there were a lot of encouraging things to come out of the game."
