Jay Stansfield celebration: Birmingham City boss Wayne Rooney to talk to striker

Supporters in Home Park's Devonport End were incensed by Jay Stansfield's T-shirt

Birmingham City manager Wayne Rooney says he will talk to Jay Stansfield about his provocative goal celebration at Plymouth Argyle.

The former Exeter City youngster, whose late father also played for Argyle's big rivals, unveiled a T-shirt with 'once a red, always a red' on it as he celebrated in front of the home end.

It led to some home fans throwing objects on to the field after the goal.

Argyle twice came from behind to earn a 3-3 draw with Blues at Home Park.

"Sometimes you're better focusing on your job on the pitch, but ultimately he's a young player learning his trade in the game and he felt this game was very emotional for him and his family and he's reacted after his goal the way he did, and the referee rightly gave him a yellow card," said Rooney.

"I knew he went behind the goal to the fans, I didn't know he had a T-shirt."

He added: "I'll speak to Jay on it. When you get involved with fans you never know what the reaction is going to be.

"I've been there myself, I've made mistakes like that myself on the pitch and it's something which I'm sure he'll learn from."

Stansfield is on loan at Birmingham from Fulham, having come up through Exeter's youth ranks before joining the London club.

He spent last season back at Exeter on loan and played in the Grecians' two defeats by Argyle in League One.

Plymouth director of football Neil Dewsnip, who was in charge of the side after Steven Schumacher left to become Stoke City head coach on Tuesday, said Rooney apologised to him for Stansfield's celebration:

"He came straight up to me and he said 'Neil, I apologise, I know about the Exeter Plymouth thing, I will speak to him in the dressing room'.

"Maybe that was why he took him off later on, I don't know."
