00:00 And are you banned from the touchline?

00:03 I believe I am, yeah.

00:05 How does that impact?

00:08 It's just working with your staff more closely, you know, earpiece and all that's not the same as being down there at pitch level.

00:13 For me, I quite like being at pitch level, obviously, and that kind of connection with the team.

00:18 But it's one of them things. What's done is done.

00:22 I think you were booked last week for protesting about the non-award of a penalty.

00:25 No, it wasn't. It was actually the second foul on Beto.

00:28 The first one was the non-penalty and as everyone knows, we haven't had one.

00:32 And then the second one was the foul on the edge of the box on Beto,

00:36 which I thought was the worst decision, to be honest.

00:38 And then the challenge is, you know, they say about our dugout,

00:41 I mean, sorry, the technical area and being respectful of the game and all that sort of stuff.

00:45 Well, ours are tiny. They're about six feet and six feet from the, you know, there's no room anyway.

00:49 So, you know, just step one yard and you're in the other technical area.

00:53 Some managers running all over the place down the pitch and all sorts, but no booking.

00:56 So, who knows? I don't know what the rules are anymore.

00:59 You know, I just try and be natural and just respond to what happened right in front of my eyes.

01:03 Is that one of the strangest stats so far that you haven't had a penalty this season?

01:07 Well, it must be up amongst them because we've certainly had enough calls for them.

01:11 You know, one down at Tom Pullen's shirt, the other one at the other day,

01:14 I thought was one and I've seen the ones that go against us and, you know,

01:19 I don't know what kind of contact is contact anymore.

01:21 And I think a lot of people in the game are kind of nervous around contacts in the box

01:26 for the wrong reasons. You know, some are giving for someone touching their shoulder and their legs buckle.

01:30 I've never worked that one out, but they give penalties.

01:31 And then Beto's clearly pushed off the ball the other day. No penalties.

01:35 So, we'll hope.

01:37 That referee you've got Saturday gave a penalty against you in the games that you've had with him so far this season against City and United.

01:43 Well, I don't think he'll have that on his mind either, right?
