Gary O'Neil stunned by Coventry boss Mark Robins' belittlement of Wolves ball boy

Gary O'Neil has labeled Mark Robins' behaviour as 'disgusting' after the Coventry City boss celebrated in the face of a Wolverhampton Wanderers ball boy.

The Sky Blues completed a sensational 3-2 comeback deep in added time, scoring in the 97th and 100th minutes to advance to the Emirates FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley. Emotions were understandably soaring but Robins' celebrations, entirely uncontrolled, were distasteful.

Birmingham World understands the ball boy was in tears following the incident, leaving O'Neil furious when he found out. "I wasn’t aware of it until after. I was disappointed. I waited for Mark downstairs after I’d seen it and spoke to him," O'Neil revealed.

"I was respectful at the end, having lost a massive game I waited for them to finish their celebrations, shook everyone’s hand, congratulated them on a fantastic achievement. He apologised but to celebrate in a young boy’s face like that I think is disgusting. The boy’s really upset. It shouldn’t happen," O'Neil continued.

Robins expressed regret for his actions during the post-match press conference. “I have an apology to make to a ball boy, a young kid. He had the ball in his hand, he drops the ball and walks away smiling. It really annoyed me but he’s a kid," Robins said.

"At the end of the day, I’ve reacted when we scored the goal and I’ve gone and celebrated right in front of him. I apologise to him. I don’t show emotion very often but I did today, that’s what the FA Cup does to you. But I apologise unreservedly to him," Robins continued.
