Visitors Dudley tweeted: “The assistant decides he’s had enough and walks off in a paddy...Utterly baffling scenes.”
They also posted: "From somebody who was there, the assistant was absolutely fine and gave a perfectly plausible, if still somewhat frustrated, version of events after the match after sticking around for a drink.
"Felt the referee didn’t ‘back’ him over an incident. Nothing more, nothing less."
