Interesting that you chose the word "ignore" :)

Ignore was easier for him to type thea 'chose not to award anything because he didn't think it was a foul' without there being any need to infer more than that about his choice of word.

I'm not questioning his approach but I haven't seen him playing for
Newcastle, and after watching that push (which I have already admitted
I may have misinterpreted) I wondered if he is that kind of player. I
hope not.

He is a big, physical player that doesn't play like he is on ice like some other similarly built players (dropba), but he's not a thug or anything like that.

To be honest I think it makes a nice change to see an attacker trying to muscle their way past a defender rather than going down as if shot if the defender so much as breathes on them.
