Paul Ince cut a frustrated figure when he appeared to speak to the press after his side's late defeat at the hands of Sunderland.

Ince felt the Royals were good value for a point but, despite admitting they set out to "nullify" Sunderland, he disagreed with claims that Reading wasted time at the Stadium of Light.

He also wasn't happy with suggestions from BBC Look North's Jeff Brown that it was a "grim game to watch" - which led to a tense in the Stadium of Light press room dispute. Here's how it played out:

JB: It was a pretty grim game to watch.

PI: You shouldn’t be here then should you if it was that grim. What are you doing here if it’s that grim?

JB: It’s my job to come and watch. I’m guessing you don’t play like that every week do you? Is it just because Sunderland have a lot of technicians and you were trying to nullify them?

PI: I think if you had actually done your research you would have seen a lot of Championship games like this. That’s the way it is. That’s the bottom line.

JB: I’ve not seen many like that. A lot of time-wasting in League One but this is probably the worst game I’ve seen here this season.

PI: Here? Okay. What do you want me to answer? What are you saying?

JB: I’m saying was it because Sunderland have a lot of quality players that you tried to kill the game?

PI: What do you mean kill the game? How can you kill the game if we’re not winning? When was we time-wasting?

JB: Someone takes so long to take a throw-in!

PI: Does that make it grim then? Because we’re time-wasting?

JB: Pretty grim for anyone watching, yeah.

PI: Why would we be time-wasting if we were getting beat?

JB: Well, you sped up after that. I was just saying that from a neutral’s point of view…

PI: No, from your point of view. Not neutral. Nobody else has said it apart from you.

JB: I’m the only one that spoke up, maybe.
