“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.
“To celebrate in a young boy’s face like that, I thought was disgusting. The boy’s really upset. It shouldn’t happen, of course it shouldn’t. I thought it was really important for me to speak to Mark about it afterwards because they’re just kids doing a job.”
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.”
