ESPN and talkSPORT pundit Don Hutchison has given his thoughts on Jesse Marsch's red card against Brentford over the weekend claiming he's 'been really angry'.
The American boss was sent to the stands after continuously arguing with referee Robert Jones after his Leeds side was not given what looked like a clear penalty, a decision which has received criticism from pundits and former referees alike.
The former Scottish international was speaking to Premier League Productions about the decision and Marsch's red card when he claimed that he probably wouldn't have kept his cool in that situation either.

"He has been really angry recently, hasn’t he?!” said Hutchison. “I am getting sent off as well. That’s definitely a penalty.
“The shirt pull is outside of the box. But Aaron Hickey carried it on inside the box, Summerville is trying to get away from him, then here is a pull of the arm and then a tap on the ankles.
“I think if you are Jesse Marsch, during that period of the game, then you are appealing to the referee.
“Yes, he went over the top with his verbals, which you don’t excuse, but manager’s, in the heat of the moment, he has lost his rag.”
