"I believe Murphy said we as managers have a responsibility regarding the behaviour of our team, and I agree, I do not deny it. I am not in the other dressing room, so I do not know what goes on.
"I never ask any player if he has been wound up by his manager. I always say the same thing - the referees have the rules for them and have to get the game respected, the players have to respect each other, no matter what they are instructed to do."
"I am a strong believer you are responsible for what you say and what you do. When I make a mistake, I do not look at anybody else, to say 'it is his fault'. It is my fault and if I behave wrongly, it is my fault, it is not somebody else's.
"If a player does bad tackling, it is too easy to hide behind the manager's instruction because you are responsible for how you behave. I do not want to add anything to what I have said many times - I like commitment and physical games, but it has to be in a fair way because it can only work if everybody goes into it in a fair way."
