Not for the first time Gus Poyet was angry and frustrated after a Hull-Sunderland game.
And the target of his ire was, once more, one Paul 'Najinsky' McShane.
No, he was not accusing McShane of moving like a racehorse, for we the 'Najinsky' to whom we refer is the Russian one familiar to all you fans of ballet out there.
Speaking to the BBC afterwards, he had this to say about the lithe mover from Wicklow.
I was not happy with the decision of McShane. He was diving like he was in a theatre, dancing, ballet and then he got a free-kick for Hull.
And then Jack was diving and got a yellow card and free-kick against him. So give me one, you cannot get both against you. McShane, in the first half, jumped with both feet and went down like he had been shot, but he won a free-kick. I was just asking for the same treatment, simple as that.
McShane is not a player one would associate with the art of diving. Nor indeed are Irish players generally seen as clever divers, though Damien Duff did his best to dispel that notion through the years.
Poyet has been angry with McShane before after games. In late 2013, McShane crashed into Kieran Westwood forcing the Irish international goalkeeper to leave the field. This time around, Poyet was chastising McShane for more calculating, nefarious deeds.
