Bruce showed no aggression at all towards the official, the official just stood in his way while Poyet provoked him, that's why Poyet has been charged and Bruce hasn't. It's really not complicated.
Gus Poyet has declared that his son Diego could have Steve Bruce's son Alex, Back of the Net has learned... Invariably furious Sunderland manager Poyet confronted red-faced Hull tactician Bruce after being sent to the stands during their teams' 1-1 draw on Tuesday. Many feared the scuffle might have descended into an all-out fracas had it not been for the timely intervention of 40 members of Sunderland's coaching staff and fourth official Darren Bond, who separated the pair with a series of stern, authoritative rabbit punches. "Gus told me I looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man," said Bruce, "So I told him to cross *these* streams while grabbing my crotch. "I don't know if he got the reference because then he tried to bite my face, which I gather is only mildly offensive in Uruguay." Poyet then threatened Bruce that his son Diego, the lycanthropish West Ham midfielder, could easily have Hull City afterthought Alex Bruce, son of Steve, in a fight. "My Diego's bigger than Alex Bruce," Poyet bragged, "and he's stronger and quicker and richer and he could knock him down without even trying." But Bruce disagreed: "My Alex is taller than Gus's boy," he claimed, "And he could definitely beat him in a wrestle, or a race, or any game of skill or chance or a combination of the two." FourFourTwo understands that both Diego Poyet and Alex Bruce are unwilling to fight for the honour of their sweaty fathers. A friend of the Bruce family said: "This happens whenever someone upsets Steve, or spills his port, or compares him to a heavy-set fictional character. Alex is a lover, not a fighter, as anyone who's seen him play will testify." It is rumoured that if Alex Bruce refuses to fight the younger Poyet, his father will disinherit him in favour of Jake Livermore, who Bruce senior often refers to as "the son I never had".

[QUOTE="originallambrettaman, post: 7683831, member: 1000044"]Bruce showed no aggression at all towards the official, the official just stood in his way while Poyet provoked him, that's why Poyet has been charged and Bruce hasn't. It's really not complicated.[/QUOTE] He tried to push him out the way. Repeatedly Unbelievable.
Bruce wasn't pushing the official, the official had some HP sauce on his back and Bruce was trying to climb over him to lick it off.
He showed aggression towards Poyet, he showed none towards the official, who just stood between them. It was nothing more than handbags between managers, I'm sure the official didn't feel threatened at any point. They had a laugh and shook hands straight afterwards.
The official should have just let them fight, the pair of them look like pathetic old women I'd imagine the fight would be comical.
Just glad doubtfire upset poyet,we started to play better from then on...Future if any games between poyet v bruce will see poyet fired up against hull at last.
if we had a good side mate I would agree with you. This side can't go much further. When cattermole is your star player you are in trouble. Ellis needs to dig deep.
You just can't resist speaking on behalf of other people can you p.s. You shouldn't put an 's' at the end of 'individual' unless you want some pedantic knobsack pulling you up.

From the TV fleeting pictures it looks as if GP kicked over a cart which would have been outside the technical area and so on. Manager and player code of conduct will have to be enforced whether we like it or not. GP said something to Bruce that riled him which is not normally his way. Would be helpful if everything was revealed as the fourth official and ref were close by so GP charged on his match report. Says it all for me.
