After the match, he was all sweetness and light when he maintained that it didn&#8217;t matter what he might have said or not, and that it was only the referee&#8217;s decision that counted.<a href=\"http:\/\/conorpower.ie\/wp-admin\/options-permalink.php\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nonsense. He says one thing but he acts in another way and it&#8217;s by his actions alone that he will be judged.
