“I waited for them to finish their celebrations, shook everyone’s hands, congratulated them on a real good performance, reaching Wembley and [told them] what a fantastic achievement it was, and he apologised.

Robins did apologise for his celebrations, which he explained was because the ball boy had tried to waste time for the hosts when they were leading 2-1 before stoppage time.
“I have an apology to make,” he instructed reporters. “He’s a young kid, so I’m apologising to him. He has the ball in his hand, drops it and walks away smiling. It really annoyed me but he is a kid.
“I have reacted, we scored a goal and I’ve gone and celebrated in front of him. I don’t show emotion very often but I did today and that is what the FA Cup does to you. I apologise unreservedly to him.”
