    Northumbria police confirmed nobody contacted them. All a load of over hyped dribble

    Some of Karl Robinson comments are ridiculous, saying we have more cameras than any stadium in world football over the last few years and yet they were all turned off at half time. Since when was handbags in the tunnel at half time a police matter?

    Yeah - embarrassing...

    Police were called to the Stadium of Light following claims Oxford United goalkeeper Jack Stevens was headbutted at half-time in the U's 3-1 League One defeat at Sunderland.
    Oxford boss Karl Robinson admitted he did not see the incident which happened in the tunnel during the break.
    "We are waiting for the police to come, one of my goalkeepers was headbutted at half-time," he told BBC Radio Oxford.
    "I don't want to use names, it's not right to do that."
    It proved a bad-tempered game, with Robinson sent to the stands after Aidan McGeady scored Sunderland's second, while Oxford midfielder Mark Sykes was also sent off for a second yellow card just after the hour.
    Robinson added: "There was a melee, something got said, which tends to happen generally in football, Jack walked behind somebody, no malice, they just turned round grabbed him and headbutted him. Everyone has seen it, their players have seen it as well.
    "This club has had more TV cameras than any other club in world football following them for the last two years and for some unknown reason they all seem to be off at half-time.
    "It's something we will deal with internally. We will be waiting for some sort of conversation to see where we go from here with this legally."
    Sunderland manager Lee Johnson suggested there was more trouble at the end of the game, but played down the severity of the half-time incident.
    "Genuinely, I didn't see what happened at half-time, I was in the toilet, waiting for the boys in the dressing room wondering where everybody was," he told BBC Newcastle.
    "Look, it happens all the time, especially in a condensed area. It was handbags a lot of it.
    "It happened at the end as well, which is not ideal, and I think that one was provoked, to be honest with you.
    "As a football club, I want us to act with class, but I also want us to look after each other when there's moments.
    "It was an incident that wasn't great to see, but at the same time is probably not worth being blown out of proportion because not a lot happened."

    Got to absolutely love Johnson fir rising above this haven’t you?

    As for the bolder bits, absolutely spot on. If you have names to name, you name them. He’s basically a bad loser and a complete dickhead

    oh... and, fir the record, the number 10 could’ve been straight red carded for a 2 footed challenge! Should’ve been sent off earlier as well for intentional handball!

    Aye, personally I’m quite happy for us to be standing up for ourselves.
    Robinson and others like him have revelled in generally exploiting our naivety whilst in this league.
    **** him.

    Aye, read that earlier.
    Strange affair. Robinson obviously lost the plot.
    Poor loser, best team won.
    Needs to get over himself the grade A prick.
    Seen a video of him comparing himself to Jürgen Klopp from last season <doh>
    Fooking whopper.

    I couldn't hear it but heard the commentator apologise for the language on at least two occasions.

    Oh so we aren't meant to be arsed about coming back from a goal down to win 3-1 in one of the final games of the season when we are well in the race for the league and the win keeps us knocking on the door because we are above it, cause we were premier league a few year ago?

    Hardly World Cup style celebrations. Think more folk have found it funny how much Robinson got rattled to **** tbh. He got that rattled he managed to get himself sent off then started crying about calling the cops. Love how we got right under his skin.

    That Frank is really pissed off as he hopes we go up and “really struggle” in the Championship!
    That’s a bit harsh Frank?
