Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder refused to be drawn into another Jose Mourinho touchline controversy after seeing his side miss out on the Carling Cup semi-finals.
The 51-year-old insisted he did not see the Portuguese brandishing an imaginary yellow card after Nicky Butt's foul on Arjen Robben, which led to Didier Drogba's decisive 78th-minute strike in the 1-0 defeat, and although the two managers were seen exchanging views seconds later, Roeder was adamant it was all good-natured.
He said: "We exchanged a few pleasantries - and they were pleasantries. I do not see why everyone has to know what was said every time two managers have a chat on the touchline. They were pleasantries."
