Fuming Cardiff City boss slams "disgraceful" comments from Sheffield United fan during defeat at Bramall Lane

The alleged incident happened in the first half when Nokes, City’s club doctor, went on to the field to treat Codey Drameh, the visitors’ on-loan Leeds player.

Morison alleges a comment was then made in Nokes’ direction, before confronting a steward. The City manager, who refused to disclose what was reportedly said in Nokes’ direction, says that the fan was allowed to remain in the ground and watch the rest of the game, which United won 1-0.

“I don’t want to make a big deal about it but it’s just amazing how people are allowed to talk to other people,” Morison said.

“I can’t say what he said but it showed a lack of respect and nothing was done. The culprit carried on for the rest of the game. It’s an absolute disgrace.

“Imagine if I’d have said that? But that’s football, they can say what they want to us and we can’t say anything back. Maybe I should have said it was racist because something would have happened them.

“It’s totally wrong. They [the stewards] knew who it was and let him sit there because it’s easier. That’s maybe why we have problems in the world. It’s an absolute disgrace. But that’s not why we lost.”

United beat Morison’s side 1-0 thanks to Iliman Ndiaye’s second-half header, to consolidate their place in the Championship top six.
