Tottenham boss Martin Jol Maarten Cornelius "Martin" Jol (born January 16, 1956) is a Dutch former professional football player, and the current head coach of Tottenham Hotspur in the English FA Premier League.  questioned the conduct of Blackburn defender Andy Todd Andy Todd or Andrew Todd is the name of:
  • Andy Todd (footballer born 1974)
  • Andy Todd (footballer born 1979)
 after a fiery goalless draw at Ewood Park last night.

Jol said his midfielder Andy Reid had "a big lump on his forehead" after a 75th-minute off-the-ball incident which was not seen by referee Dermot Gallagher and his assistants.

The pair clashed in the middle of the Spurs half with Todd appearing to aim a headbutt Verb 1. headbutt - butt with the head; "The soccer player headbutted his oponent and was sent off the field"
bunt, butt - to strike, thrust or shove against; "He butted his sister out of the way"; "The goat butted the hiker with his horns"
 at Reid, who then collapsed to the floor in agony.

Jol chose his words carefully after a game in which Lucas Neill was sent off for a late two-footed lunge on Edgar Davids.

The Dutchman said: "Blackburn were very aggressive ( the evidence is that Andy Reid has a big lump on his forehead.

"You can see it on the television. Sometimes in games like this you get a bit excited and Todd was a bit excited, otherwise I cannot understand this sort of action.

"But it is difficult to talk about another team because that is the responsibility of the other manager."

Rovers' boss Mark Hughes insisted that he had not been aware of the incident until he was told of it afterwards.

He said he would view television evidence and speak to Todd before apportioning blame.
