"I will do whatever I think is right for the best of the team and I couldn't afford three players in the middle of the park all on yellow cards, especially with Robbie not 100% - and he's got a sore knee as well now.
"At the time, he didn't think I was right, but I'm the one who makes the decisions. That's what I'm paid for.
"But it's all forgotten about. Sometimes it's nice to see a bit of emotion and a bit of passion. He desperately didn't want to come off.''
