Wed 19 Mar, 01:30 PM


Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope has shed some revealing light on the tunnel incident at the end of Swansea's 2-0 win at Bristol Rovers.A scuffle involving Swansea assistant-manager Graeme Jones and Rovers' centre-back Danny Coles led to statements being taken from both clubs.

Police later confirmed one man had been arrested, but refused to give his identity.

Rovers coach Paul Trollope said: "Danny Coles has a bloodied lip and as far as we are concerned the blame was all on one side. By all accounts Danny was on the end of a headbutt from a member of Swansea's staff.

"The police are investigating and came to our dressing room afterwards. The incident was witnessed by other players and a number of stewards.

"I can't say whether we will be taking action as a club at this stage. We will be awaiting the result of the police investigation."
