Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson is upset with Fulham captain Danny Murphy over his accusations levelled at manager Sam Allardyce.
Fulham midfielder Murphy - who played with Robinson at Tottenham - said a string of nasty tackles is down to managers getting players too fired up before matches.
Murphy singled out Allardyce, Stoke boss Tony Pulis and Wolves manager Mick McCarthy.
But keeper Robinson said: "It's disappointing when a fellow professional feels the need to criticise other players and there was no relevance to it.''
