Following his side's scoreless draw, Ipswich boss Paul Lambert said 'the aftermath of the incident needs to be looked at'. This morning, he expanded on that during a chat with talkSPORT:
"I’ve text [head of referees] Mike Jones this morning to say have a look at the footage of the head thing," he said.
"To me, in my opinion, it looks as if the referee went in there, and I said to him after the game, 'Did you put your head in my player?'
"He couldn’t answer it and that’s the reason I spoke to Mike. I haven’t seen that in a long, long while."
With the video clip going viral, and answers being sought about Drysdale's reaction, the PGMOL has released a statement on the matter.
In the statement, Drysdale says: "I fully understand that it is important for us, as referees, to maintain our composure throughout the game, and always engage with the players in a professional manner. I'm sorry that I did not do that last night, and I can only apologise to Alan and Ipswich Town."
The FA are investigating the matter and state that it would not be appropriate to comment until that review process is complete.Football
