"I'm not going to lie", Izzy told the Evening Post, "...I told him he was shocking". " "He booked Leon for a 50-50 tackle and then didn't even give a free-kick when one of their players went in on Jonesy. It was a horrible tackle, a high one into the knee, but they ended up getting a free-kick. I lost it a bit and told the player and the ref what I thought".
Izzy is likely to face an extended ban for his dismissal as he failed to leave the pitch immediately and was held back for barraging further abuse at Messias by his equally-shocked team-mates. Messias has come under much criticism for the way he handled Saturday's match, with neutral Kevin Radcliffe claiming that he was more like "Huddersfield's 12th man".
