Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway refused to loose against Manchester United winger Ashley Young after he won a penalty for their victory yesterday.
Young went down following a tackle by Kagisho Dikgacoi during the first-half of the 2-0 win but TV replays showed the United wide-man had initiated the contact. Robin van Persie converted the awarded penalty.
Holloway's initial reaction to being asked about Young's conduct was to turn his back and declare: "I think that is safer don't you?"
Holloway then turned round and offered a more rounded assessment.
"My opinion doesn't count," he said. "I realise that now.
"All I can talk about is what led to it, which is us playing the occasion rather than the game.
"I will not get drawn into a situation where people have to make decisions and they affect me. Emotionally I am in the right place now.
"I would like to keep my money in the bank and pay for my own daughter's wedding this summer.
"I don't talk about other people's players. If you want to meet me down the pub later on I will tell you exactly what I think."
