  • Fans had chanted "You're not fit to wear the shirt" to Ghaly, trigerring his annoyed reaction. Martin Jol says the club will deal with this reaction - which was out of character - within the club. Most shocking is Jol's assessment that "the fans are entitled to do that."

    Speaking to BBC Radio, the Tottenham manager said: "We've got a lot of character in the team, although with Hossam Ghaly, you could say it was a bit out of character.

    "He didn't throw it (the shirt) at me. He threw it on the floor.

    "But that's probably worse because you can't do that with a Spurs shirt. Everybody knows that in England."

    Jol feels he made the right choice by taking Ghaly off. "I can understand that somebody is frustrated, but for me I don't think about that sort of thing. I want to make good decisions and in hindsight you can say that it was the right decision to take him off."


    When asked whether he will talk with Ghaly in the morning, Jol responded: "What do you think?" And when asked whether the Egyptian will play again for the club, the Dutchman said: "All the playes will do something which is out of character. Of course things will happen but we will deal with it internally."
