West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis took aim at Sunderland striker Danny Graham after their 0-0 draw on Saturday.
Graham went down early under a heavy challenge from Baggies defender Joleon Lescott.
Pulis rubbished the suggestions that Lescott should have been dismissed.
He said: "I have seen old women in the high street take more of a knock and stay on their feet than what the lad did.
"It's not even a free-kick, never mind Joleon getting booked."
