James Morrison explained that Albion staff took exception to the over-zealous behaviour of one of their Wolverhampton Wanderers counterparts at full-time in the 1-0 derby defeat at Molineux on Sunday.

Morrison was greeted by opposing number Cesar Peixoto immediately after the final whistle and, having shaken hands, made a point of telling the Portuguese that he considered one of his staff to have acted out of order by rubbing the narrow victory in the visiting dug-out’s collective face.

There was a brief and minor fracas which, from an Albion point of view involving coach Tony McMahon and centre-half substitute Chris Mepham, quickly subsided but clearly, with plenty at stake, Morrison and Albion deemed the behaviour to be in poor taste.
