This game also saw boss Keith Curle taking ot the stands although he was not sent there.
"I was advised to leave the touchline and take a position in the stands. The referee didn't issue me with a red card so i do not have a touchline bn pending as some first thought. It was advisory only following a slight altercation with a police officer"

The Referee backed up Keith Curle's claim that it was the police officer who was at fault in the half time altercation between the two saying "The police officer used excessive force and language to diffuse a situation that was NOT out of control as Mr Curle came onto the pitch to approach me"

Other claims were made in the referee's report that Curle will have to answer to but this is all in hand he told the official site today. Talking about a similar incident at Vetch field in South Wales where questions have been asked of the Stags discipline Curle said:

"We have answered the questions about the Swansea game in which we had two players sent off and umpteen more booked - we feel that we were not alone in the brawl that resulted in most of these claims against us and the video shows that at least nine Swansea players were involved in the thick of it -  We have given our version of events to the FA so it is now a matter for them to respond to"
